George Santos is the Milli Vanilli of politics and how he got away with the lies for so long https://open.substack.com/pub/deanobeidallah/p/george-santos-is-the-milli-vanilli
I'm glad insulin is capped at $35 for people on Medicare. It's a bill Democrats unanimously vote for, and so-called "pro life" Republicans unanimously opposed.
But here's the thing.
Insulin needs to be free & accessible to all people. Healthcare is a human right & there's no reason why corporations should profit billions off a life saving drug, the patent for which was sold for $3.
In the wealthiest nation on Earth, no person should struggle with insulin access. #MakeInsulinFree

In 2015 we went to Gdansk (Poland) and then we wanted to visit Auschwitz but the distance was too long for us.
In 2019 we went to Krakow and then we had two places that we had to see:
- Auschwitz-Birkenau
- The βWieliczkaβ Salt Mine
If you are visitin Krakow I recommend that you visit Auschwitz. And I recommend that you take the guided tour. The guides there are excellent and informative.
I also recommend you to follow @auschwitzmuseum here on Mastodon.
Here's some New Years perspective to start your 2023.
Barbara Walters, Anne Frank, & Martin Luther King, Jr. were all born in 1929. Yet while we were just with Ms. Walters days ago, those two icons are portrayed as ancient history.
But the ideals they fought for weren't in some distant pastβthey're a contemporary reality we must continue to fight for today. We control that narrative. Letβs keep fighting for that justice in 2023 & beyond.
Remember, "The past is never dead. It's not even past.β

Today I used all kinds of transportation: my own bike, underground train, eScooter and car sharing services, and I walked. For those who say βI need and Iβm dependent on a car.β #transport #urbanism #multimodal

"This year can be called a year of losses for Ukraine, Europe, & the whole world. But that's wrong. We shouldn't say that.
We haven't lost anything.
It was taken from us.
#Ukraine did not lose its sons & daughters β they were taken away by murderers. Ukrainians did not lose their homes β they were destroyed by terrorists. We did not lose our lands β they were occupied by invaders.
The world did not lose peace
β #Russia destroyed it."
