I am always struck by how much better the world treats parents/caregivers traveling with babies/small kids.
World: That looks hard. Let’s try to make it a little less burdensome with family line check-in, boarding, security, immigration, customs.
US: That looks hard. Good.

Yes, this particular hospital seems bad but the USA healthcare system is sick itself. Patients are “consumers” and that is f*cked up.
15/ Today we’ve published a deeply reported 5-part series. It’s about Albany, Georgia.
It’s about getting sick in America.
And it’s about what happens when the most powerful institution in town is a hospital.

As Phoebe Memorial Grew, the Health of Albany, Georgia, Declined
The five-part series, “Sick in a Hospital Town,” pursues one question: Why are people in Albany so sick when its most powerful institution is a hospital?

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

This absurd oversensitivity about professors having sex with minors procured for them by sex criminals shows that campus cancel culture is out of control.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

I was coming to BlueSky to opinionate after a day of hand-wringing & anger. We aren’t the folks hurting. The GOP gladly hurt all in service to their master. We - the ones screaming about caving - aren’t the ones hungry or standing in line for food. I wish the USA were in a better place. We’re not.
The key word is "they" not "we" because many of they people yelling the loudest have zero skin in the game

Minutes after MAGA congresswoman Elise Stefanik announced her candidacy for #NYGov, a Team Hochul Twitter account for @governor.ny.gov posted this ad.
And boy, it's savage!
But also, if the ad airs on TV, it'll boost Stefanik's chances in a GOP primary.
Hochul wants to face her. #NewYork #NYpol

I just don’t understand this move. Is she betting all of upstate will be so frightened by Mamdani, she could eke out a win? Seriously, someone please explain the strategery. I’m too twitterpated by everything else to see the long-term vision. Can she run for guv’nor & her House seat concurrently?

Obama is counting on CA to save democracy while the Supreme Court is poised to dismantle the Voting Rights Act. Maybe there should be ads addressed to the SCt. Indecorous, you say? Good taste and impropriety is so over. The SCt justices have felt above public reproach for too long.
