Every time violence happens, a victim reports it or is killed, people go digging through the victim’s life like they’re on a scavenger hunt for flaws. Did they have a record? Were they loud? Did someone not like them? Did they fight back? Were they sweet enough, quiet enough, sober enough?

It's important to respect a DNR for a patient who has chosen to have one, but adding a DNR order to a patient's record without their consent is morally and practically equivalent to killing them. This is murder.

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Cost-cutting tactics

The secret bonuses were just one of many maneuvers UnitedHealth devised to track and cut expenses in its nursing home initiative.

Internal emails show, for example, that UnitedHealth supervisors gave their teams “budgets” showing how many hospital admissions they had “left” to use up on nursing home patients.

The company also monitored nursing homes that had smaller numbers of patients with “do not resuscitate” – or DNR – and “do not intubate” orders in their files. Without such orders, patients are in line for certain life-saving treatments that might lead to costly hospital stays.

Two current and three former UnitedHealth nurse practitioners told the Guardian that UnitedHealth managers pressed nurse practitioners to persuade Medicare Advantage members to change their “code status” to DNR even when patients had clearly expressed a desire that all available treatments be used to keep them alive.

The loudest voices leading a ten-year-long moral panic over “free speech” that claimed the biggest threat came from Oberlin undergraduates are quiet as the government silences scientists.

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR. Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.

I really love this. It feels like a lot of "solutions" are made without speaking to those they would affect. The parents pointed out that there's nothing for these kids to do, that the goal isn't to reduce crime but to move it elsewhere... I'd love to hear from teens as well.

i realize the title is a bit counterintuitive but the answer is that you cannot as an individual guarantee your food is safe. we can, as a collective, push back HARD on dismantling food safety regulations, and put pressure on an unpopular administration to keep our food from killing us.
