If they wanted to capture the reality of how American healthcare keeps getting worse then forced adoption of AI and right-wing terrorism from the US government are at the forefront.
My wife who works in healthcare told me she's out on The Pitt because apparently they're both sidesing ICE in an ep this season and the new main character lady is trying to bring AI into the ER. I thought she was making it up to get me pissed off but no lol she was telling the truth

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.
Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

Understandably the literal murder is getting the most focus in terms of potential state prosecution, but murder is not the only crime. States have laws against assault and battery, and a much larger pool of justifiable cases to pursue.

"The abduction of Maduro was not about naming his crimes, but about ignoring them. The worst thing Maduro did is what Trump is beginning to do: killing civilians and blaming them for their own deaths. After Minneapolis, Maduro’s lies are being repeated: in American English, by American authorities."
The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. Govt controls the story & the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear.

This idea that impeachment not working because Republicans oppose it is wrong. Stand up for the rule of law and push to enforce the constitutional option, and when republicans opposite it, make sure the public knows who stands for justice and competition and who covers for fascism.
