This makes it even more important to compare the hospices you have available to you*. Being non-profit doesn’t guarantee better service, but most not-for-profit hospices have been putting patients and families first since the mid- to late ‘70s. For-profit organizations? Profits.** 1/2

Trump’s “crypto strategic reserve” may be nothing but a blatant insider trading scam to make his billionaire crypto czar richer — funded by taxpayer money.

Ah yes, agriculture. An industry famously able to pivot on a dime from monoculture to a comprehensive self-sufficient and integrated food system.

Stocks Post Biggest Loss of the Year on Trump’s Tariff Plans The S&P 500 fell 1.8 percent on Monday after President Trump doubled down on plans to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting Tuesday. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/03/b...

Psychedelics users treated at a hospital are 2.6 times more likely than average folks to die from any cause within 5 year. They specifically were more likely to die by suicide, cancer, lung disease and overdose compared to the general public. www.upi.com/Health_News/...

Vengeful, brutally cruel ! Trump cut off aid to Ukraine. Says Zelensky isnt grateful enough & wants to pressure him to take the deal on Trump/Putins terms- give up 50% of valuable minerals. Get nothing in return. Zelensky needs & deserves guarantee that Putin will leave & not attack again.

yep. and this is the basic problem with trump being psychologically incapable of perceiving a positive sum relationship. everything is a dominance game for him.

Canada just hit the U. S. with 25% tariffs on $107B worth of goods starting midnight. Trump’s trade war isn’t just talk anymore—it’s costing American businesses, and the hits keep coming.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

Nigel Farage is once again showing his true colours as Trump’s spokesman in Britain. Zelensky has shown true courage, while Farage just licks Trump’s boots. It's clearer than ever that Nigel is simply out for himself and his masters in Mar-a-Lago

Keir Starmer visited the US headquarters of Palantir – who are “excited to further transform UK public services and defense capability”. What public services are those? And what will that mean for our data and the NHS?

One of the reasons to be at the centre of the EU is because geopolitics is about power and power comes through acting as a collective. Right now, those ppl that objected about loss of sovereignty through EU membership are looking pretty stupid as the big superpowers run rings around us.

Trump & Vance’s treatment of Zelenskyy was a snub to all of Europe. And the pair of them can fuck right off. I don’t want them having a single rare earth atom from European soil. I don’t want their military bases. I want Europe to throw everything into driving Russia off Ukrainian soil.

Trump has made it intolerable to need America or to have to be grateful to it. We have to unite and defend ourselves with our neighbours and allies. Forget about being a bridge that could be grenaded at any minute. We have to pick our side. And our side is Ukraine and Europe.

Someone tell Trump to heed the lessons of WW2. Appeasing dictators doesn’t work.

Excellent episode that lays it all out. Trump is working for the benefit of Putin by weakening the USA

Good on the Democratic Governors for releasing the following statement: “Democratic governors, along with millions of Americans, stand united with the Ukrainian people.” LFG people and show we stand with Ukraine & President Zelensky 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 #SlavaUkraini #NAFO @demgovs.org

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

Y’all the best time to get your MMR booster was before but he second best time is now, it’s effective even as a prophylactic within 72 hours of exposure and quite frankly as one of the most virulently contagious diseases we know you need to assume if you’ve not already been exposed you will be soon.

Putin offers the US access to rare minerals including from Russian-occupied Ukraine. The US also refused to condemn Russia's attack on Ukraine in the UN. This shows that America has become one of the rogue states that shamelessly plunder other countries and share the profits with other crooks.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Between 2015 to 2022, 47 private equity firms bought 124 U.S. hospice agencies. Today an estimated 75% of U.S. hospice agencies are for-profit. “Hospice was started as a grassroots, nonprofit movement where the majority of care was provided by strictly non-profits." www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/w...

President Trump has directed federal agencies to examine ways to bypass endangered species protections and other environmental regulations to ramp up logging across 280 million acres of national forests and other public lands.

“The ‘war on woke’ did not suddenly appear. It is an idea deeply rooted in a form of scientific racism that has been laundered into the mainstream over decades by the Pioneer Fund and right-wing activists connected with this group” bylinetimes.com/2025/02/27/t...

I’m a Charli XCX enjoyer, so no shade, but it’d be foolish to ignore the fact that talent is something that takes space to explore… and if you’re working class, that space is filled with annoying shit like trying to survive, before you can even think about carving out a nook for creativity.

It is moments like this that really bring home how unutterably awful it was to allow events* to create a national mood in which Boris Johnson & Liz Truss could become Prime Minister. Imagine they were in the post right now… *Brexit

Trump really is a shockingly bad negotiator. The US had real leverage over Ukraine to secure a very advantageous (for the US) rare earth minerals deal, and Trump blew it, losing his temper in the Oval Office like a spoiled child, coming away with nothing. Complete failure.

Alternatively ‘how Trump’s desire to plunder Ukraine’s minerals for help already given & no future commitment while showing surprise that Zelensky hates Putin & demanding personal thanks despite the fact he hasn’t committed a single $ to Ukraine since re-election’ may have fuelled Oval Office spat.

I wish I could repost this a bunch of times for emphasis. The way society is ignoring long covid - and government is defunding support for long covid - is maddening. And then they ask "why are more ppl on disability benefits"? I WONDER COULD IT BE THE MASS DISABLING PANDEMIC?

If the UK’s immigration rules mean what they say, Trump shouldn’t even be allowed to enter the country, let alone for a state visit ….

This is the most right wing newspaper in the UK. Extraordinary.

People going all "Prince Charles won't care about Zelensky not wearing a suit", and whilst I get the point about British politeness and all, it's not like Charles doesn't have a pretty bloody good analogue to compare it to...

Farage made 17 appearances on Russian state-funded RT between 2010 and 2014 and while an MEP for Ukip and the Brexit party, his parties several times aligned with hard-right parties in the European parliament to vote against EU motions that were critical of Russia www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The editorial board at the conservative National Review joined the chorus of political observers stunned over the explosive White House showdown that Trump and Vance subjected Ukrainian President Zelensky to on Friday.

“European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said: ‘Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.’”
