Dit is wat er gebeurt als je buur fascistisch rusland is. Meer dan 400 drones en ballistische raketten werden op ons afgevuurd. De schade wordt nog opgemeten, maar er zijn al zeker vier doden gevallen.
Fuck russia. En fuck iedereen die blijft dralen met steun te geven.

I find it incredibly sad that James Van Der Beek is auctioning off Dawson’s Creek memorabilia to pay for cancer treatment.

This is why we need universal healthcare.

What happens to those who have nothing of value to sell?

They die, go bankrupt, or both.

Healthcare is a basic human right.

It’s 2025 and we’re still dosing drugs like it’s 1976.

Na drie en half jaar wordt het ook wel eens tijd dat Europa haar verantwoordelijkheid neemt.

Het is een keuze om zo'n imperiaal regime haar gang te laten gaan in Europa. Het heeft nu wel lang genoeg geduurd. We kunnen ons die instabiliteit niet veroorloven.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"
