A system can claim to be person-centered
and still fail the people within it
especially those receiving care
and the workers responsible for it

I wrote about that tension from experience

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly pissed he can't do anything to help his approval ratings because Israel won't let him make a deal with Iran, Republicans are increasingly demanding one, and Iran gains more leverage by the day as global supply chains continue to break down.

@paulinaVEVO Congrats! Well played!

I’ve been intending to read Slavoj Žižek, but haven’t gotten to it yet. And yes, I’ll read almost anyone if they spark my curiosity, even if others don’t think it’s worthwhile.

[JERRY JACQUES @MrJerryJacques]

@Silvercrowuk @sulekhat95 I beg to differ.

Less than 24 hours after optimism emerged around a possible Iran-US memorandum, negative vibes are already surfacing.
A well-informed Iranian source tells me there are signs of U.S. retreat on two central issues: the mechanism for unfreezing Iranian assets, and the scope of a ceasefire in Lebanon.
According to the source, the memorandum includes a Lebanon ceasefire framework, but Israel is reportedly uncomfortable with the arrangement and is pushing Washington to include language allowing it to carry out military operations in Lebanon under the justification of responding to “any threat.” Iran is rejecting that formulation and insisting on a sustainable and lasting ceasefire.
Tehran has informed all mediators, including Pakistan, that it will not sign the memorandum unless all clauses are fully agreed and guaranteed. Pakistan reportedly suggested moving forward with agreed sections while postponing contentious points, but Iran rejected that approach, insisting the disputed clauses are fundamental and non-negotiable.
The overall picture suggests Tehran increasingly views Washington as backing away from earlier understandings reached through mediators.

There are existential dimensions of reading that are diminished once the experience becomes fully detached from the physicality of books.

Imagine what that feels like when you have to separate yourself from books.

@BasedMikeLee Lies. Dude goes and play golf on the weekend during a war but he can’t go to his son’s wedding? He probably doesn’t approve of the bride. That’s the only explanation.

Turning 46 on June 12 and still not being able to grow a beard is nasty work.

Obama suggested Trump dismissed the Iran deal not because it failed, but because Obama was the one who made it, adding, “that seems to be a pattern.”

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken:

If you go back to the Obama administration, we looked very hard at the military option.

But we concluded that, for some of the exact reasons we're seeing now, that was not necessarily the best option.

President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”

[Rick Reilly @ReillyRick]

As a reporter, I'm so disappointed by the men of the White House press corps. They let Trump constantly bully women reporters. In sports, we stood up 4 each other. I once got into a brawl w/ a U Miami ass't coach over the sexist way he treated a female writer. Grow a pair!

With the Trump administration and the The White House account, Saturday Night Live doesn't need a script. In fact, they don't need actors. 🤷🏿‍♂️

BREAKING: For the first time a journalist has reportedly told Donald Trump on a phone call, “Every single claim you have made about this war has been proven a lie within hours, and I will not be publishing anything you’ve told me today.”

[JERRY JACQUES @MrJerryJacques]

@marcorubio wants the UN to bail Trump out of a war that he started. He argues that Iran can’t block an “international waterway”. This is after, of course, US has attacked Iran, took over Iranian vessels and bragged like pirates, and then set up a blockade. These guys are clowns
