I went in for chest pains at the end of last year, I was *shocked* at how fast I was seen. Once they established I wasn't dying, I had a pretty long wait but overall service was really good and I paid nothing.

Well, not nothing, I've paid taxes my whole life. But I doubt I've paid the 6 figures amount that would've cost me in the US even if you add all my lifetime taxes together and during that time I still drove on roads and stuff.

Socialized medicine isn't just a better option, it's the only moral choice.

A couple of op-eds for a Student newspaper criticizing Israel? I thought I saw the pieces linked earlier but I don't see them now. The article linked on this post says it supported a student divestment program and referenced the International Criminal Court calling attacks on Gaza a genocide.

Hardly spicy compared to your average social media post.

For the record, and I know I'm not the first to say it, this woman committed NO crime. She didn't overstay a visa, she didn't protest illegally. She wrote something the administration didn't like.

For that, she was arrested by 8 masked officers in the middle of the street, in broad daylight. She was thrown in the back on an unmarked SUV. She's received no legal representation. No trial. Not even charges, because again, she committed no crime.

Americans, you realize you're watching the death of your rights and the rule of law, right? You have no illusions about the fact that you are defenseless? There is no longer any guardrail between you and an El Salvadoran prison camp. In something that reminds me very much of Stalin, an accusation is now a conviction.

The article has pictures of the chat. The DoD and NSA have both confirmed this happened. A spokesperson for JD Vance has confirmed it happened. What evidence would you accept?
