A Texas woman got an abortion. So Texas police used 83,000 Flock cameras to track her down. 83 THOUSAND!! They aren't using these cameras to track down rapists, pedophiles, or traffickers. They're not using them to find your missing children. They're using them to throw women in jail for making choices about their own bodies, with OUR tax dollars.
In America I ordered a milkshake and the young man turned it upside down over my head.
I did not move. A samurai does not flinch, even when the ice cream is above him and gravity is the law.
Nothing fell.
The cup hung there, upside down, defying the sky, and the boy held it over me with the calm of a man who has done this ten thousand times and buried his fear long ago.
This is the Blizzard. This is Dairy Queen.
If it falls, they told me, you get it free.
I understood at once. This was not dessert. This was an ordeal.
The boy was not showing off. He was swearing an oath, with his own arm, that he had made the thing thick enough to hang against the earth, and he was betting the price of it on his honor.
The flip is not a trick.
It is a vow.
In my land a smith proved his blade by cutting.
Here a boy of seventeen proves his by turning it over a stranger's head and looking him in the eye while the whole line waits to see if he lied.
He did not lie.
He set it upright, handed it to me, and said "there you go, man," then turned to the next customer as if he had not just gambled his good name across a counter.
I tipped him everything in my pocket.
He tried to give it back. He said it was just a Blizzard.
I told him it was not just a Blizzard.
I could not explain the rest in English, and there was a line, and he was busy.
So I bowed instead.
He said, "You too, man."
That answered nothing I had said.
It answered everything I had felt.

If 3 Black people took a White man on a boat expedition and didn’t return with him the president would be making a speech right now.

I own Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam. I can delete Steam at any time, copy the entire Cyberpunk game folder to another PC or drive, launch the executable directly, and it will play. I truly own it. PlayStation digital games cannot make the same promise.
Just got off the phone with my college roommate.
His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.
He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.
7 months later:
Savings: wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren’t their problem.
He told me he’s not the same person anymore.
Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn’t go away.
They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.
One diagnosis undid all of it in 7 months.
And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting a $30 million bonus this quarter.
I don’t know how people defend this system with a straight face.
I really don’t.
🚨Murdered Insurance CEO Had Deployed an AI to Automatically Deny Benefits for Sick People:
Just over a year before United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was murdered this week in Midtown Manhattan, a lawsuit filed against the insurance giant he helmed revealed just how draconian its claims-denying process had become.
Last November, the estates of two former UHC patients filed suit in Minnesota alleging that the insurer used an AI algorithm to deny and override claims to elderly patients that had been approved by their doctors.
The algorithm in question, known as nH Predict, allegedly had a 90 percent error rate — and according to the families of the two deceased men who filed the suit, UHC knew it.
As that lawsuit made its way through the courts, anger regarding the massive insurer's predilection towards denying claims has only grown, and speculation about the assassin's motives suggests that he may have been among those upset with UHC's coverage.
The plot always thickens.🥹
Thousands died because UHC CEO Brian Thompson used an AI system that rejected 90% of claims for profit. https://t.co/B41hE6mnkk
Health insurance companies are notoriously heartless. Blue Cross Blue Shield was going to limit anesthesia times for surgery, forcing surgeons to rush procedures thus endangering their patients. After Thompson was gunned down for his heartless deeds, Blue Cross Blue Shield suddenly had a change of heart so will not limit anesthesia times, at least for now:

Corrupt Representatives, Senators and the rest of our deep state government look the other way because insurance companies donate millions to campaign super PACs so there's no justice for those denied the medical care they were entitled to. These sins are even more egregious than what motivated our founding fathers to throw their Tea Party and begin the American Revolution.
Back to Brian Thompson. He was a licensed mass murdərer; a coldhearted sociopath who destroyed his victims except he did it as a Fortune 500 executive. The fact that he was a father is neither here nor there. Neither fatherhood nor death bestows nobility on an evil man.
I feel sorry for his widowed estranged wife and his children. I especially feel sorry for his hundreds of thousands of victims who are either suffering due to lack of needed medical care or who died from Thompson's brutal disregard for their welfare.
I don't feel sorry for HIM.
Not feeling sorry for someone murd3red whose chosen policies resulted in harming and killing hundreds of thousands of people is not justifying murdər.
If a similar fate befalls any in our deep state govt: CIA, FBI, CDC, DHS, FDA, HHS, NIH; state governors like Cuomo, Murphy, Whitmer, Wolf, etc., who forced nursing homes to take in people sick with COVID resulting in the de@ths of tens of thousands of elderly; hospitals that k!lled COVID patients to collect YUGE bonuses; Tony Fauci, Bill Gates (Gavi), Klaus Schwab, George and Alex Soros, Tedros (WHO) and other NWO WEF eugenicists who've harmed and killed millions via their manufactured wars and pandemics, poisonous treatments, bioweapon mRNA vaccines and geoengineered killer weather, I won't feel sorry for
ANY OF THEM either.
