BREAKING! "Saddle Lake Cree Nation is asserting its Treaty rights and jurisdiction to provide safe refuge for those seeking and providing gender-affirming care. Any Albertan will be able to access gender-affirming care on Saddle Lake Cree Nation reserved lands and territories"
Thousands of Albertans have emailed our political leaders! But there are 5 million of us who stand to lose. Please, be loud: share your concerns online, with your representatives, with friends—we can't let our public health care access quietly slip away. Act now! www.friendsofmedicare.org/actions
This US resident has insurance and this is the bill he got for a single visit to the ER Canadians, we have so much to lose and nothing to gain from a two-tier system with private insurance like the Alberta gov is pushing
Too Big to Fail@toobigtofail.bsky.social · 2mo agoI realize the Europeans have largely gone to bed, but: I got bitten by a dog yesterday and had a bad reaction to it and ended up throwing up all night last night. My wife made me go to the emergency room; I've gotten IV fluids and an abdominal ultrasound. This is what I had to pay. I have insurance.
This was so much fun!

This story was broken by The Cornell Sun, which @nytimes.com nowhere cites. As a former editor-in-chief of The Sun — and in the name of brave, amazing college newspapers everywhere — do not treat student journalists as truffle pigs, taking what they've sniffed out without credit or compensation.

#MayTheFourth be with you! Gonna re-share Hunted from Squadrons, because it's still one of my favourite #StarWars things and helping out on it was an amazing experience. Incredible work by writer / director Neel Upadhye, and by ILM who made it something special 💙 www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2Vm...

Bit of art appreciation for the day: this charming French painting of a young couple gathering cherries. None of your modern vulgarity. So demure.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
