Albany Georgia isn’t the only place where the poorest among us are also the sickest.
The United States is blessed with one of the most scientifically and technologically advanced health care systems in the world,
a sprawling industry so vast and lucrative that it is now one of the largest drivers of the economy,
accounting for more jobs and revenue than manufacturing.
But for all the money flowing in and out,
Americans have more chronic illnesses and shorte…

Sick in a Hospital Town
Welcome to Albany, Georgia, where one hospital dominates the political and economic landscape. The story of Phoebe Putney Memorial is the story of American health care.

A Professor at Toronto Metropolitan University:
“The Government of Canada could easily decide that it was going to use LinkedIn or Instagram or wherever it posts, and journalists would switch to following them there because they want to access what they’re saying,” he continued. “There was zero audience for Truth Social when
Trump created and started using it, but the audience went to the politician. Carney and his government could take a principled position by leaving X and its horrible spawn, Grok, and his audience of journalists and politicos would go with them.”
“Apparently, our political leaders simply choose not to.”

As always a huge thank you for the Senator's @… ongoing activism. It WILL happen. (and by it I mean, government going to the social web... Bluesky is just a temporary blip until it too goes fascist or we get some proper digital sovereignty laws in place.)

It looks like lying about the murder and calling Good a terrorist isn’t really flying with the press or the general public. We all know what we saw, and we Noem is full of BS.
Stay tuned for these greatest hits:
- “The real problem is that there’s video! Everything would be fine now if ICE could have just murdered her in secret.”
- “Of course this is tragic, but we cannot condone the violent response to Good’s killing [instigated by law enforcement, but we’re pretending it’s the public]! Now that there are riots [by law enforcement], we call on protestors [who have remained peaceful] to remain peaceful.”

My #silentsunday.. I only had a chat with two guys at the summit and one guy a bit below.
Besides that... 4-5h silence. If we don't count the minutes I was following the activities of a woodpecker a couple of meters away from me 😊
It took me really efforts to get out. But - as usual - it was worth it.

"Cold, the air and water flowing
Hard, the land we call our home
Push, to keep the dark from coming
Feel the weight of what we owe
This, the song of sons and daughters
Hide, the heart of who we are
Making peace to build our future
Strong, united, working 'til we fall
Cold, the air and water flowing

but instead delivered major concessions to the industry.
Under Lara’s watch, the state’s insurer of last resort exploded
from 123,657 policies in 2019 to over 645,000,
leaving January wildfire victims underinsured.
Six of nine insurers filing under new rules
