Medicare for All isn’t "too much." A $16,000 deductible is too much.

Maybe my fondest memory is riding my sister’s hand-me-down bike to the dirt track the local kids built on a vacant lot in our cul-de-sac, adjacent to the road she and I would walk along to school each day, which I tried to run away via. When we left Chesapeake, I was 8, she was 11, and both alive. 🤦

Erika Hall@erikahall.bsky.social · last wk.I can't tell you how correct Ed Zitron is about Apple being well positioned to eat. The more chaotic and agentic and scammy it gets out there, the better their gated community looks. Every other tech company capexing their way to the center of the earth, sunk in debt.

On some level, fact-checking Musk's "zero died" claim misses the point. He's communicating in a coded race-war trope that his global fascist audience will instantly grasp: Zero people died *who matter.* He sees these USAID cuts as a dry run for much worse to come. newrepublic.com/article/2135...

New in PN: Gender-affirming care for insecure men "Here’s a little secret: the testosterone Hegseth wants to give to cisgender troops is same stuff they give to trans men. So which is it: taking hormones renders you non-deployable and therefore unfit, or they make you the perfect killing machine?"
