agreed, and you really need to shout this to the “white adjacent” people you mentioned, because the GOP is courting them hard, and many of them showed up for Trump in Florida and might have prevented the election from being a truly crushing landslide defeat for him. I assume they’re attracted to “power” but…

Omar and Hoyer addressed it succinctly - this is an attempt at distraction. Just like these bullshit calls for unity. The last time the United States “came together” in “the name of unity” was 1877.  That lead to a complete erasure of any good accomplished by Reconstruction and brought about Jim Crow, lynchings, and a…

For the past few days I tried to stay out of the news cycle especially since the semester has started and I have classes to teach and faculty to manage. This is what I come back to? I do not believe there will be much rational discourse for this country over the next 50 years or so. There is nothing to hide behind;…

Ok, Repubs... let see, Ilhan Omar is the representative of my district here in Minnesota and umm...

kill yourself

Here’s hoping they make this ‘non-profit’ hospital a lot more non-profit. It won’t undo the damage done, but maybe it’ll spur the administrators and doctors to, I don’t know, fucking listen to people.

But I’m talking about on a family level. Unfortunately, we‘ve all seen too many families when any tragedy strikes just be completely unprepared and unequipped to say & do the critical stuff in an emergency.

At that point they were obligated to tell them that the ICU is full and to go to another hospital for diagnosis immediately; not a pat on the back, some aspirin in the hand, and a boot out the door.

They wouldn’t tell him to take ibuprofen if that’s the case.

it’s really disheartening that to get the care you need and are PAYING for you need to scream at the top of your lungs and throw a tantrum to get it. Our health system is so broken.

Harriet Tubman set up and used a NETWORK to get the job done. It’s clear we have to do the same; and everyone, no matter what skill or resource level, can play a part.

My new doctor got snippy when I advocated for myself just last week. I wrote a few excoriating complaint emails about her and found a new doctor practice in a whole new system. This story, and so many others, just underscores the fact that since we can’t just show up, request assistance and get it, we’ve gotta appoint…

Discovery can be a bitch!

Citing privacy laws, Barnes-Jewish declined to comment to local media.

The important thing to remember is that this is NOT a standard trial. It’s an impeachment trial and as such the rules are whatever the senate decides the rules are.

Can I make an embarrassing admission? (Well, probably not that embarrassing.) I let my New Yorker subscription of many years lapse in 2016 because I knew that the orange anus in chief would be on every other cover, at least, and although the drawings would certainly be unflattering, I couldn’t stand the thought of it…

Damn, it makes me wish that “arguments” and “evidence” actually mattered at this trial. But sadly, Trump is going to get a jury that is about 50% his peers: Treasonous pieces of trash who are more than happy to continue licking his boots. I have no doubt that, regardless of whatever she’s said thus far, Susan Collins…

Gawddamnit... STAHP printing pics of this anus faced failure. STAHP!

False arguments are fine at trial else lawyers would have no jobs, but it’s illegal to present false evidence or to lie to the jury. Hence we get things like the Chewbacca Defense which is completely legal but ethically indefensible. A good judge would nip it in the bud, but this isn’t going to be a regular trial and…
