Inbox: ‘Wanted’ posters of healthcare CEOs wheatpasted around lower Manhattan ahead of today’s Goldman Sachs Financial Services conference. “Those who would steal from us have names, faces, and addresses. Justice will only come from the working class,” per anon communique.

wanted posters on a light post taken at night of Steve Nelson, president of Aetna, David Joyner, president & CEO of CVS Health. Both feature photos of the execs with three bullets labeled DENY, DEFEND, DEPOSE detailing the wrongs of the healthcare industry (but not legible enough in the picture to transcribe). “Healthcare CEOs should not feel safe. Deny - Defend - Depose” it says at the bottom.Wanted posters of Marianne Lake, Denis Coleman, Brian Moynihan, Robin Vince in similar format as others, on a wall.Wanted poster of Brian Thompson with an X through his photo featuring the same bulleted text as the others. “Healthcare CEOs should not feel safe. Deny - Defend - Depose” it says at the bottom.Communique: On Wednesday morning over thirty CEOs will gather at the Conrad hotel for the second day of the Goldman Sachs Financial Services conference to discuss how they can become richer by extracting wealth, time, and energy from the working class from all over the world. To welcome them, anon actionists put up wanted posters of the leeches attending the conference, including Martin Smalls of Black Rock, Robin Vince of BNY Mellon, Denis Coleman of Goldman Sachs, and of course, Brian Thompson, the former CEO of United Healthcare. These CEOs run companies that control trillions of dollars by stealing money, time, and labor from the working class. Do they care about the problems of poverty, homelessness, and injustice at these conferences? No, and their actions are violent. Health insurance companies (like financial services companies) don’t provide us with anything useful - they only limit our access to healthcare. Those who would steal from us have names, faces, and addresses. Justice will only come from the working class.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.

Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

this piece is funny bc she’s equating fighting authoritarianism with being a present contrarian contributor to a conservative & alt right prioritizing platform yet makes a point in *white* Bluesky users equating themselves to refugees. none of these things got to do with the price of tea in China.

Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?
