Someone said it’s unethical to restrict the movements of elderly people when there is a covid outbreak in a nursing home.
Doesn’t feel too ethical to me to have low vaccination rates, no air quality improvement, and just spread diseases either though.
Seems kinda evil.

Rates of death which should have been preventable by standard health care practices are higher in the US than in other developed nations. US health care is mediocre—better care will cost less. Do your part to reform US health care—learn more and donate at www.utahcares.vote

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.
And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

As we commemorate the implementation of Medicaid and Medicare, let’s remember that there is much more to do to improve health care in the US. The Utah Cares Act will provide better, simpler care financed fairly for all. Learn about it at www.utahcares.vote and DONATE!!

Last yr, CDN tourists to US (~1/4 of foreign tourists to US) spent $20.5B (~2x's what Americans spent at McDonald’s over same time). US Travel Assoc warned in Feb. a 10% drop in CDN tourism risked $2.1B in lost spending & 140k jobs. New data suggest those losses will be exponentially larger. 📈Policy

This may be an exaggeration but ... the International Court of Justice has just ruled that continuing the fossil-fuel economy is illegal.
Three key takeaways:
- Fossil fuel subsidies and licensing can now constitute internationally wrongful acts
- The 1.5°C limit is no longer aspirational - it's a legal obligation
- States cannot hide behind "concurrent causes" to avoid climate reparations

Wow.
Who could have predicted that doctors who got famous by making podcasts saying that they “would do” amazing things are struggling to actually do things in the real world?

Republicans are building a series of labor and "deportation" camps.
Democrats are not talking about ICE because they think "immigration" is a losing issue for them.
How do you think all this is going to end?
