“United Healthcare pressured its medical staff to cut off payments for seriously ill patients in lockstep with a computer algorithm’s calculations, denying rehab care for older & disabled Americans as profits soared.”

Great investigative work @caseymross & @bobjherman https://www.statnews.com/2023/11/14/unitedhealth-algorithm-medicare-advantage-investigation/ #medicine #profit #healthcare

Here’s what I want say to JimJordan, KevinMcCarthy before him, and even DonaldTrump:

Suck it up buttercup. Don’t be a snowflake. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps. It’s not the community’s responsibility to help you. If you can’t achieve your goals all by yourself even with walls of white men and the justice system pilling upon you, you don’t deserve them. Your lack is just a sign you haven’t worked hard enough. You haven’t earned it. Survival of the fittest my dudes.

Israeli newspaper Haaretz:

Netanyahu Bears Responsibility for This Israel-Gaza War

"The disaster that befell Israel … is the clear responsibility of one person: Benjamin Netanyahu. The prime minister… completely failed to identify the dangers he was consciously leading Israel into when establishing a government of annexation and dispossession … while embracing a foreign policy that openly ignored the existence and rights of Palestinians."

CNN host Fareed Zakaria asks president Ebrahim Raisi of #Iran why the regime keeps enforcing laws that require women to wear the hijab.

The Iranian president then answers by lying about the protests which is really interesting, since in the Quran it clearly says, lying is forbidden [16.105]: "Only they forge the lie who do not believe in Allah's communications, and these are the liars."

So… will Ebrahim Raisi be jailed, I wonder?

They're going to use the act of isolated, unpersoning, and eliminating trans/queer ppl, to strip your humanity, compassion, and solidarity

And once they've done that, there's never going to be an end to who they can, and will come for next

You don't have to take my word for it; that's like a solid 40% of the writing about about "how the Third Reich, World War II, and the Holocaust happened."

Think very carefully, about what you do next; I know you don't care about me, but consider your kids.
