The Ford gov’t is privatizing our public hospitals in a move that’s costing patients thousands of dollars & taking away from our local public hospital services. Everyone’s help is needed to pressure them to stop it.

Holy shit, and also, great blessings upon the family of the human recipient mentioned in the article for allowing their loved one with no remaining brain activity to be a test candidate to determine if their body would reject a treated kidney.

This is huge news!
UBC has developed an enzyme that can convert donor organs to type O, making them universal.
Normally a using organs of the wrong blood type causes the recipient's immune system to attack the organ, leading to failure.

This is an excellent example of why it's crucial to #KnowYourRights.

The ACLU has a comprehensive "Know Your Rights" section on their website that I strongly recommend reading.

Here's the section on "Encountering Law Enforcement and Military Troops": www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

People are really overreacting to us building the Qataris an air base in Idaho. It’s only there for defensive reasons in case Montana or Wyoming invade them.

You can be a “car guy” and not like car dependency. You can be a “car guy” and get that too many cars in cities is bad for everyone, including drivers. You can be a “car guy” and be tired of lies & manipulations like “the war on cars.” You can be a “car guy” and know more choice means more freedom.

They called it a hoax, but it was just business — billions spent to seed doubt, stall progress, and keep the pumps running. Decades lost, lies sold, air thick with profit. The truth was never inconvenient — just unprofitable. 🌍💸 Enough said. #ClimateCrisis #EnergyTransition #EnergyTransition #Solar

The government accused of backing the 9/11 terrorists who killed around 3 thousand people on U. S. soil, are now going to build a Qatari Air Force base on U. S. soil. It will also house Qatari soldiers.

Shouldn’t this be alarming?
What could go wrong?
