Friends out West, don't forget about the wildlife.
They're also going to need to escape the fires.
Please consider leaving some bowls of water outside & give them safe passage.

A DOCTOR SPEAKS OUT:
“I want to talk a little bit about UnitedHealthcare and why certain recent events may have happened against their CEO…UnitedHealthcare is the most evil company in the United States right now.”
He then lays out their business practices.

Health insurance industry PR is working overtime right now diverting blame to physicians for claim denials and rising costs. I feel compelled to remind everybody that Optum (UHC) is the largest employer of physicians in the US. We have never had less power in healthcare than we do right now.

Assad was a genuinely evil human being. So was his father. The people who insisted he wasn't because anti-imperialism or something lied to you, they knew they were lying to you, and they will lie to you again.

Important update from the #DRC MOH: A concerning situation in Kwango province, with 376 cases and 79 deaths reported, mostly in children.
This highlights the need for robust health systems capable of detecting and investigating outbreaks rapidly.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

Advice from a Literature teacher and resister: read your history, but don’t forget your literature.
Resistance is woven through the words of abolitionism and feminism and anti-fascism. Read the history and the literature.
