New from me. Union nurses warn 🚨 Big Tech and Big Brother are invading our healthcare system, which was already in crisis. I speak with a panel of @nationalnurses.bsky.social from Maine, Missouri, and Illinois. This is a must-listen! @therealnews.com

'Purge Palantir!': Union nurses warn Big Tech and Big Brother are invading our healthcare system
“Palantir has no place in our hospitals, no place in our community... Nurses are advocates first. We're trained to advocate and to speak up when something is wrong, and that's what we're doing.”

If you're worried and confused about the AI crisis but don't understand all the lingo and concepts, I'll put the essence of all this in simpler terms.

Forget the actual tech reasons for a second. You should really be worried about the lack of transparency combined with incompetence.

Why did MedStar cut 1/3 of postpartum beds at D.C.'s busiest birthing hospital — in the middle of a maternal health crisis where nearly every mother who dies is Black?

And there’s no way patient information can’t be misused or sold
These systems learn from our clinical knowledge, taken without consent, then sold back to us as a "solution." Our care work is being automated for profit, but our licenses are on the line if it's wrong. If there's millions for a chatbot, there's money for safe staffing.

The AfD slogan in Saxony-Anhalt is: "Everything is possible." We cannot afford to leave the far right a monopoly over the alternative to an unbearable status quo. That's why I wrote Anti-fascist Economics. Thrilled that @leaypi.bsky.social sees my book as helping us see a feasible, better future. 🌹🌾

Because ignorant people think 9/11 was somehow “jihad,” I wrote this piece to share what Jihad actually is.

Please share with those who might be misinformed. I think people will see its true meaning is a beautiful concept we can all benefit from.

Just got this text from “Flip the Senate.”

It has Jon Ossoff, who isn’t flipping a seat, and has $45M in the bank.

It does NOT have Angie Nixon, who is flipping a seat and needs all the funds she can get as she polls 47-47. Smh the disrespect.

The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs.

Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too.

Luckily, I have a guide for that.
Getting off US tech: a guide
I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Capitalism and racism are the only reasons we don’t have universal healthcare in the US. ALL other developed countries have it. It is the norm.
A county official warned that the hospital in her city was understaffed and cutting corners. A year later, a woman froze to death on the roof.

This is the untold story of the for-profit healthcare company behind this hospital, and many more:
A for-profit hospital slashed costs. Then a patient froze to death on its roof.
A little-known company grew on promises to save distressed hospitals. Instead, it sunk them into financial chaos.
