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?"

I just heard on radio New Zealand some special snail with a left-hand spiral is looking for a mate. They called him and said he were looking for a girlfriend.
But my understanding is that most terrestrial snails are hermaphroditic. Am I confused?

They know not our pain... Unbearable, indeed
I can’t even count how many times I think about this: “When you’re dead, you won’t even know you’re dead. It’s a pain only others feel. Same thing when you’re stupid.”
In addition to their unscrupulous cruelty & greed, the pain of the Trump administration’s stupidity is almost unbearable.

We are closer to the precipice than people realize. Remember, Cornyn is asking *Kash Patel* and *Dan Bongino* to arrest Democrats. How long until other Rs start asking for Ds to be arrested in other contexts? How long do norms hold at the FBI?
This is a demand for unconstitutional, arbitrary power. There is no offense against the United States here. The FBI has no role to assist the State of Texas in becoming an authoritarian enclave.

Did an AI company just fire an employee for holding pro-extinctionist views? Huge, if true! But in fact the situation is far more disturbing than this: the person wasn't fired for *being* a pro-extinctionist, but for holding the *wrong* pro-extinctionist view. A short 🧵

Democratic politicians everywhere need to understand something: the massive support you're seeing right now for Texas House Democrats would be the support you'd easily get, too, if you were willing to fight back aggressively instead of navel-gazing and talking about "norms."

It’s hard not to be dispirited by the capitulation of so many elite institutions. How can our democracy survive if so many powerful people normalize giving up?
But true power in this moment isn’t about prestige or wealth. It’s about courage. And anyone can be courageous.

If the hallmark of the Holocaust was the crude industrialization of murder, the hallmark of the Gaza genocide is the use of sophisticated computer technology for murder.
