It’s abhorrent that a country as wealthy as America doesn’t guarantee healthcare for all.
If you have an accident or illness in most developed nations… you’re cared for. No questions asked. No money or insurance needed
I felt hope watching the Dems hold the line.

It should be that simple.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.

Been offline for the most part since starting the whole cancer journey 6 months ago.
Today, I’ve got clear scans, clear bloodwork, and to quote my oncologist this morning,
“It’s over, it’s done, things couldn’t possibly look better.”
mucho, mucho joy. kick rocks, cancer.
Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did?

Feeling joy despite The Horrors? Problematic tbh.
The image features a vibrant bouquet of various flowers, including red, purple, blue, yellow, and orange blooms, with green leaves and stems. The flowers are densely packed, creating a colorful and lively arrangement against a black background.

At the bottom, the word "TRANSPAINTER" appears, likely indicating the artist or creator of the image.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.
Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Needed this reminder today.
If I didn’t have good insurance, I wouldn’t have gotten a colonoscopy, and wouldn’t have found my cancer until it was way too late.
I would have died.
This isn’t hypothetical. People are going to die without Medicaid and Medicare. It’s eugenics, plain and simple.
all this time spent wondering what caused it and I forgot about the >1 hot dogs I eat every day 😕
This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)
