Hope is a choice to notice, to appreciate, and hold fast to ideals that matter.
Let’s remind each other that we want to choose hope when we forget; when it’s hard. Just as others have shown me, it can make all the difference in an era glaring with reasons to despair.

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion.
It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make.

The Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives — but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why.
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

Politico on the rising number of Americans facing catastrophic medical insurance costs: "The Trump economy is not focusing on the root causes of why health care costs are so high in this country."
Americans are buckling under medical bills. It could get worse.
Charities that help people pay for care say demand is way up. That’s before scheduled Medicaid and Obamacare cuts take effect.

This often repeated story is infuriating. Customers are blamed as the problem when a huge part of the problem has to do with corporate structures.
Our produce spends weeks & months in storage & being shipped before we buy it, but we are to blame because it rots days after we buy it?

They are squandering taxpayer money on losing cases prosecuted and defended by inept lawyers for the worst, least entertaining remake of the movie, “Wag The Dog” imaginable.
Months after the Trump administration booted the Associated Press from White House events because it refused to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, the AP asked judges to permanently find that its First Amendment rights were violated.
In Gulf of America case, AP renews legal fight to end White House ban

Don’t show anyone claiming to be ICE any identification unless they show you theirs. And even then, tell them to go fuck themselves. Do not answer them and do not acknowledge them when they speak to you. Unless you see a warrant or an ID, that’s nobody.

The takes on MTG’s decision largely focus on politics. It’s like no one has experienced psychological abuse?
She’s received threats & more are coming because she spoke out against Trump. She won’t be a “battered wife.” She knows she can’t win, so rather than roll over she’s walking.
