If you are in the federal government, I wrote about how you can actively resist Trump from within. The most important thing? Do not quit. Make them fire you. More here:

We have DEI because we have racism. DEI didn’t stop White people from getting anything. It just helped others to have a chance to get something they were qualified to have.

Twitter rn is proof that the male loneliness epidemic is a scam. A hoax. A ruse. These men are cruel, belittling, petty, mean, and proudly abusive to women. They aren't lonely. They are evil. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. 💙

A bill to break up UnitedHealth, CVS, Cigna and more has been introduced by a bipartisan group of U.S. senators and representatives. The legislation would force insurers to sell their pharmacy businesses. It aims to combat PBMs, pharma middlemen who drive up costs.

I bet not a single executive or board member of any US “healthcare” company took yesterday’s events to heart in terms of what their industry is: a completely unnecessary hurdle between patient and care. They’re worried about being next. Yeah, tough, most of us worry about being their next victim.

“Health Insurance was not always ‘for profit’. That started during Reagan, not surprisingly, when Blue Cross went from ‘not for profit’ to ‘for profit’. That's when insurance went from a means to process medical claims to a system to withhold care and let people die for profits.” -Henry Rosenberg

Nearly every billionaire is a soft, doughy little mound of ghost white skin that's never seen a minute of struggle or exercise. Point is they would probably be tender and delicious.

can't they just put their execs in glass cases that you have to get an employee to open for you

just from a folklore point of view, "attractive hooded man kills billionaire head of hated business with bullets inscribed with political slogans and then vanishes" is narratively breathtaking

On the one side you have the pundit and consultant class shaking their finger at you for laughing in relief that one evil man departed this earth. On the other, nurses remembering the patients they loved who died when they hit their lifetime max insurance benefit. www.reddit.com/r/nursing/s/...

One of the things I find…hm, I don’t know about all of this is how many people will respond to this with things like “corporations should provide better insurance for…” And we shouldn’t have to be stuck with an employer if we don’t want one.

It’s not just the immiseration, but also the clear broadcasting that voting doesn’t work to change fundamental conditions because of SCOTUS (and other factors). Voting is what societies use to resolve conflicts without violence and it only works until people stop believing it works.

I’ve been saying for years that American insurance companies are direct subsidiaries of Satan, Inc. All this CEO did was get an unscheduled promo to head office. He was a mass murderer. Miss me with the boo hooing over violence. He killed thousands.

truly, my heart goes out to all the witnesses to this. they might have PTSD or other anxieties stemming from witnessing a murder, and insurance companies like United Healthcare often try to minimize the mental health coverage their clients need

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

Until we listen to marginalized people (rather than let the “smartest guys in the room” dominate our discourse), Trumpism and the unfreedom it represents will win. Because when we discount the wisdom of those who feel the brunt of what we’re fighting against, we’re halfway to ceding victory
