“We should measure the prosperity of a nation not by the number of millionaires, but by the absence of poverty, the prevalence of health, the efficiency of the public schools, and the number of people who can and do read worthwhile books.” ~ W.E.B. Du Bois: A True Patriot

There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.

Keep this in mind: The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II was carried out by executive order—from the President of the United States. 🧵

The Holidays and Hoops. Nothing better…

In 2023, UnitedHealthcare reported $22 billion in profits. They also lead the field in claim denials. And they’re not alone. Health insurance companies are in the business of denying our healthcare. They profit off the suffering of you and your loved ones. Prove me wrong!

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that much more media attention needs to be directed to the fact that Republicans' main witness against Hunter Biden pleaded guilty for lying about him. If it was trump, they'd still be screeching about "lawfare." DO YOUR JOBS!

@yourdailyart.bsky.social hey where can I find a good place to buy manufactured diamonds? Asking since you're into jewellery. Thanks in advance.

Started looking at legislation that @warren.senate.gov and @joshhawley.bsky.social offered to reform PBMs. Definitely resolves some important points. But I it ignores just how smart the big PBMs are. It also ignores that there are 25 plus Pass Through PBMs that do the right thing for sponsors

Leaving this here for folks that think the GOP is “good” for the economy! Per Simon Rosenberg’s simondwc.bsky.social Hopium Chronicles: “Since 1989 52 million jobs have been created in America. 50 million, 96%, have been created under Democratic Presidents. Essentially all of them, over 36 years”!

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

Must be terrifying knowing that someone who you’ve never met has the power to destroy your life

@karenattiah.bsky.social when are you posting your Black influencer starter pack?

UHC Hit list, 1 down 10 to go.

Hit List

Took me a bit but I've found the framing to put into words a way to express to the people fretting about the death of the UHC CEO why we just aren't heeding their admonishment: The social contract stipulates that all life is sacred, and Brian Thompson violated it. But it's more than that.

The world’s richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% put together, according to Oxfam. There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality. It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

I was a little worried at first, but she hit that Westbrook clap and got that shit right from there on out

Today we honor and remember all the Natives who were slaughtered after helping white invaders from Europe from starving to death.

Hypocrisy at it's worse.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc
