"Four diseases, all connected, now threaten the nation’s social and moral health: racism, poverty, environmental devastation, and the war economy—sanctified by the heresy of Christian nationalism. Since the 2016 presidential election, when white rage propelled a candidate endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan into the White House, racism has been more prominent in public life."

"...patient advocacy is integral to health care. Medical professionals constantly battle insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers to get our patients’ medical treatments covered. We tussle with our own institutions to expedite CT scans and medical appointments...But in this upcoming era we may have to face off against our own federal government."

I’ve got a plan for Monday, January 20th. 🇺🇸
I will contribute no clicks, views or ratings to the Debacle.

All my reading, viewing and contemplation will be upon Martin Luther King, Jr and stories of the heroines and heroes of the Civil Rights Movement.

The incoming admin intends to carry out “post-inauguration” raids in next week…an opening step in Trump’s goal to oversee the largest operation in American history.

The plan, called “Operation Safeguard” by Immigration & Customs Enforcement [], would start on Tuesday, the day after Trump is inaugurated, & last until the following Monday…. The dates were still being finalized, however, & could change.

Violence against women

"...men in South Korea attack women they suspect of having feminist views. They bombard them with abuse and try to get them sacked.

This is part of a growing backlash to feminism, in which feminists have been branded man-haters who deserve to be punished. The witch hunts are having a chilling effect on women, with many now scared to admit they are feminists."

Violence against women

@bicmay Yikes. That sort of backlash is reminiscent of gamergate. I hope South Korea is better able to diffuse the situation than that.
