Why is our right to a healthy quality of life being EXPLOITED? In America, private healthcare systems & insurance companies have raised rates & costs on us… while providing less quality time during patient-provider appointments + less approvals of coverage for life-saving medications & procedures.

Hey, #Canada. You have an election coming up. I know you’ll fight, but I urge you to take accountability and integrity to a new standard. Do not let complacency loom; scrutinize everything because elected officials work for you and you alone. This is my plea to you.

My least favorite accent of all time: the South African tech bro accent. It’s like a mix of condescension, deceit, and slurring. I grew up in an era where U.S. presidents could actually handle their own press conferences instead of letting a billionaire king ramble over them. #KremlinStooge

It is SO important that we organize locally right now. The discord is available for larger coalition meetings and resources, but for a strike to be successful we need strong regional coalitions as well. Find yours here: docs.google.com/document/u/0...
