"For decades, medical institutions in the United States have normalized collaboration with violence." @eric-reinhart.com #Abolition is also a healthcare issue... #healthcare is also an abolition issue...

"The question of who gets to live as long as they should isn’t moral but systemic." @theferocity.bsky.social maybe both. For sure, #systemic

"...Ibram Kendi’s assertion — powerful people trying to keep their disproportionate amount of power from others — shows up everywhere in our history and is perhaps a reason why we are still living in a society of tremendous inequality." -Teju Ravilochan gatherfor.org/blog/power-i...

Louisiana has lost more than 2,000 square miles of coast since 1932, according to the 2023 Coastal Master Plan. Scientists say the marsh is dying because it stopped receiving the nutrient-rich fresh water and sediment once levees were built to control flooding along the Mississippi-Wesley Muller #CJ

Banning trans healthcare for 18yos is velociraptors testing the fences. Since the bans include both minors and adults, there's nothing really stopping them from setting the age at 21 or 25 or 50. But mainstream media outlets continue to publish inaccurate headlines that misinform their reaaders.

We’re enraged and heartbroken by the rising deaths in ICE custody. Huabing Xie, from China, died Sept 29 after being held at Imperial Regional Detention Facility. At least 20 people have died since Trump took office as he moves to triple ICE detention by the end of this year. #CommunitiesNotCages

Keep speaking out when you can, beloveds youtu.be/XJcdnwSdwDQ?...

"The physician, who declined to be identified out of fear of losing their job, said the Navy facility “wasn’t designed or developed to save lives. It was just to desensitize people to the trauma.”
