YES, just posted about this
America's healthcare system isn’t just broken; it’s often cruel. Here's a piece I wrote for Harper’s about chronic pain sufferers cut off from their medication—a story of destructive drug policy, medical abandonment, and the nightmare of untreated pain, as insurers refused to cover essential care.

With Hurricane Idalia about to bear down on Florida as a Cat 3, I decided to build this custom feed for #wxSky. It should pick up all #wx hashtags in body text and alt tags, like #flwx (including some false positives).
Please reskeet for visibility, thanks!

Angry! Why because governments, healthcare providers and the vast majority of people are pretending COVID is over when it’s SURGING! Gov ‘t needs to restart testing & everyone Ned’s to WEAR A MASK. My life and millions of others are ar stake.

I’m angry with everyone who is pretending COVID is over when it’s surging, from the government, healthcare professionals to every other person who refuses to mask. My life and the lives of millions of others are at stake.

Go #Unions!
I just realize I never skeeted this:
This past Tuesday 11,000 public sector workers for the City of Los Angeles went on strike for the first time in 40 years.
Workers from across industries joined them on the picket line. I was there to capture the union beards and staches.
Enjoy.
