We are being led by mad christofascists who bombed Iran to bring about the book of Revelation oh joy.

Good to see the US legacy medical journals being this direct (at last?) in their condemnation of RFK Jr.

Medicine and science can’t afford to fence-sit anymore.

How in the fuck do we live in a country where in parts of Australia you’re allowed to meet up to mourn the deaths of 15 people killed at #Bondi but you’re NOT allowed to meet up to mourn the deaths of tens of thousands of slaughtered Palestinians?

STUPIDMAN and diapered stinky fart machine. He must not be President for our 250th Anniversary of United States Declaration of Independence. He paid for the insurrectionist. He is traitor to our constitution. He should be in prison.

It's interesting that Russia withdrew all of its personnel from Venezuela exactly 14 days before Trump's invasion. China didn't withdraw their personnel. Cuba didn't withdraw theirs. Just Russia.

It is almost as if someone called Putin to warn him what's up as part of a quid pro quo.

Not almost.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Healthcare Spending in the United States and Canada
(All values in US dollars)

US: $17,000/person | Canada: $6,700/person

US spending breakdown
Public Sector (Federal and state governments, 2024):
  β€’ $866 B on Medicare to cover 62 million; $13,675/person
  β€’ $900 B on Medicaid to cover 84 million; $10,380/person
  β€’ $71 B on Veteran’s Health to cover 6.3 million; $11,269/veteran
  β€’ $23 B on CHIP (Children) to cover 3.2 million; $7190/child
  β€’ $7 B on IHA (Indian Health) to cover 1.6 million; $4,375/person
$1.9 T to cover 157 million people ($12,100/beneficiary; $5,588/capita)
  β€’ $600 B State and local government expenditures
$2.5 T to cover 330 million people in the States legally; $7,350/capita

Private Sector:
  β€’ $2.8 T private insurance and out-of-pocket; $8,240/capita

Overall Expenditure:
  β€’ $5.8 T total healthcare spending for 340 million people; $17,059/capita

Total US spending is $17,000/person, including taxes, private insurance premiums, copays, deductibles and insurer profit.

Canada spending breakdown
  β€’ $6,480 ($US)/person universal single-payer program
  β€’ $6,700 ($US)/person total, including dental, pharmaceuticals, eyeglasses, hearing aids

Canada has better outcomes
βœ… +3.4 years life expectancy
βœ… 26% lower infant mortality
βœ… 30% lower under-5 mortality
βœ… 50% lower maternal mortality
βœ… 26% lower age-standardized cancer mortality (deaths per 100,000) 
βœ… 30% lower age-standardized heart disease mortality (deaths per 100,000) 
βœ… 42% lower obesity prevalence (adults, BMI β‰₯ 30)

BOTTOM LINE: Canada as a whole spends less per capita ($US 6,700) to cover 100% of its population than the various US governments spend ($US 7,350) to cover about half its population, while getting better outcomes.

In the United States, the three levels of government spend more taxpayer money ($US 7,350/person) to provide healthcare to less than half the population than Canada does ($6,700) to cover everyone in the country. And Canada gets better results. βΈ€1211bβΈ₯

I don't like the ban but my kids are in their 40s.
My grandchildren, however, are 15. The only have to wait for a month until their 16th birthdays. If they wanted to keep access in the meantime, I'd help them.

I don't have kids, so I can be a right cunt about these sorts of things. What if the social media ban for under 16s turns out to be a complete load of facile nonsense that does nothing, because it was all about the bad parenting we created along the way...... pursuing a false economy.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

Thank you, Nicky

HegSith.

There was no β€œBattle at Wounded Knee.”

300 unarmed Lakota, men, women, children and elders were massacred.

By cowards.

Your word IS NOT final.

Those medals were unearned.
By evil men.

That’s the truth.

And that is definitely FINAL!!
