Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right.

The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy.

We must end that international embarrassment.

Yes. We need Medicare for All.

I don’t buy much from the US, iPhones and Levi’s.

If I lose weight I can get back into old Levi’s for the next four years.

Some small food things I can now dodge.

Gradually easing out US podcasts and finding UK, NZ and Canada ones instead.

We can all cancel one US thing.
