Since Mark Cuban is in the news talking about Pharmacy Benefit Managers, here’s a comedic take on health care by Comedian Dr G. He’s a real MD. He takes no prisoners.

We are going to try and launch something that operates on 5000 dogs and stops 100,000 dogs being born into suffering.

We've shared budgets, planning, targets and data here.

Hopefully will be able to pull off the impossible!!

A very cool accomplishment for my rural community. Affordable housing has been a problem for a long time, and combining the project with a childcare center is awesome! Kudos to all those working together to create something that helps working people!

A 🧵 worth reading:

In late 2020 and 2021, Trump-aligned operatives illegally gained access to voting equipment, software, and data. This was part of a multi-state effort now considered "the most severe election security breach publicly known." (1/15)

I designed this shirt five months ago and I’m glad the Dems are catching up. There is no more high road.

Spring is a little behind here in WI. But today I found Dutchman’s Breeches and little lilac blossoms budding.

This video is well worth watching!
Curious about Voluntary Stopping Eating and Drinking?

It's a way for a terminally ill person to shorten their dying process.

This touching video shows the last few weeks of a German woman with heart failure.

@maddow.msnbc.com is doing a brilliant job covering the resistance. Every night she shows clips of that day’s protests from all over the county, and the legal cases challenging autocracy. I hope whoever replaces her after 100 days continues this coverage.

The Trump Administration is trying to undo protections in the Affordable Care Act while using federal power to target immigrants, LGBTQ+ communities, and working-class families.

But you can help us fight back from your phone or computer in just a few minutes. 🧵

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.
