We need universal health care for every American. It’s time to fight for Medicare for All and ensure that everyone receives the care they need.

Instead of spending nearly $270 BILLION on mass deportations ($2,358 PER taxpayer), we could fund: Medicaid for 12 million people. Healthcare for 5 million veterans. Free early education for 6.7 million children. Money for cruelty vs. money for community.

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.

Not just that but Tolkien also said, “Evil cannot create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.” Sound familiar? 🙄

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

BILLIONAIRES: We’re not ‘confiscating’ anything. 45 years ago, you made society a promise that if we reduced your taxes, you would use some of that money to improve conditions for all Americans. Instead, you chose to do the opposite. You had a great ride…your greed is why we’re here. ➡️ TAX THE RICH!

A post by Stephen Tramontana with his color close-up photo and white print on a black background:

“Dear billionaires, we’re not “confiscating” anything. 45 years ago, you made society a promise that if we reduced your tax bill, you would use some of that money to improve conditions for all Americans. Instead, you chose to do the opposite. That was the choice you made. So now we’re demanding to go back to what worked before - taxing you at the proper rate. You had a great ride, but, let’s be clear - your greed is why we’re here.”

The research implies that a local newspaper creates $114 per resident per year ($84 in 2018$) in local government efficiency. A case for subsidies for local news, perhaps in the form of consumer free-subscription vouchers like @deanbaker13.bsky.social advocates

A lot of people listen to country, but a lot of people don't. There's a big overlap between the people who do and the type of people who get big mad that America isn't a monoculture and not everyone looks, talks, thinks, or acts like they do. Their music being ignored reminds them of that.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

Along these lines: Doubt anyone needs a reminder, but Gumroad is owned/run by profoundly shitty ppl. They booted Iron Circus from the platform years ago after an unsuccessful Smut Peddler applicant began demanding all adult material be removed from Gumroad, despite there being no rules against it.

As of today, the CDC has changed (reverted) their Covid guidance to make the vaccine recommended for all people over 18. In addition to being a smart public health move, this recommendation also means insurance must cover it. Read more here: www.cdc.gov/covid/hcp/va... Listen to a breakdown here:

For people asking why the reversal to a more reasonable position, as the public health professional alludes to in the video, it’s because of ongoing legal challenges to the rollbacks under rfk jr. Medical groups have been suing: www.cnn.com/2026/01/14/h...

This is not a story about AI so much as how the healthcare system, which should be a public service like the library, is instead a convoluted mess in which different industry stakeholders try to cheat each other and they ALL try to cheat patients and the government.

Facebook really doesn't want you to see the new documentary exposing Elon Musk Neither do TikTok or Google or the eX social media site. Since they won't accept paid advertising, let's do some free advertising. Go see Musk in theaters October 9 www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)

YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.
