Consider also that prosecutors use AI to summarize AI-written police reports. We’re trying to discern the truth through a machine- driven game of telephone.

US citizens don't want home healthcare jobs. Not because they don't care about the elderly. But because the jobs are underpaid, overworked, and exploitative. Take Sylvia, a mom I interviewed who took a home healthcare job because it was her only option, then left it as soon as she could. 1/🧵

Too often, tech creates logistical problems that disrupt learning. My 6th grader's school, for ex, uses Chromebooks for everything. But the kids haven't learned typing, so work takes longer than by hand. And they often forget to charge the devices at home, so class gets wasted trying to plug in.

SCOTUS just legalized racial profiling, and ICE is already denying a person's right to due process — abducting, detaining and deporting whoever they want. This is how white nationalism overthrows a country.

This is another example of disabled people being the proverbial canaries in the coal mine. We’ve been screaming for years about the dangers of supply chain issues and medication shortages. 🧵 on tariffs, income inequality and disability rights
Screenshot from Courtney Waller which reads. Fun fact about tariffs no one is even considering while we're all freaking out about the every day items
Did you know that the US imports approximately 47% of medicine from foreign countries?
Including:
95% of ibuprofen
91% of hydrocortisone
70% acetaminophen
40% of penicillin
Data is not specific or reliable for the amount of cancer drugs and cardiovascular medications. But we do import them too. (There was a shortage here in recent years and the data swung high, however that was meant to be on a temporary basis)
$1.5 billion worth of ingredients for medications we manufacture here are imported.
Importation of meds has risen 600% in the past 8 years
The bulk of this comes from China and India
This doesn't even touch medical devices which we also are one of the world's largest importers

In thinking about what rich nations owe the developing world, here’s something to keep in mind: The average American emits more CO₂ in one week than an average person in low-income countries does in one year.
Bar chart displaying per capita CO2 emissions for 2021. The United States shows significantly higher emissions at 14.86 tons, compared to low-income countries, which have emissions of 0.28 tons. Land use change is not included.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...
