Ain't that the truth, though?
I don't want to wish homelessness, hunger, poverty, or sickness onto anyone, but it might be more expedient that way.

A new study reveals rising premature deaths, especially among Black Americans. Many people who pay into the system their whole lives die before ever reaching the eligibility age of 65. This bakes structural inequity into a program meant to be universal.

Say no to #Palantir in the #NHS
NHS #England is rolling out software to run our health records from Palantir – a US spy-tech firm that has supported mass #deportation in the US & enabled #genocide in #Gaza
One of Palantir’s founders is also openly against the NHS. #PeterThiel claimed it “makes people sick” & that the British people love NHS because we’re suffering from Stockholm syndrome
We can’t let a company like this take control of our #healthcare system

Just finished watching Leeja Miller's latest video on new anti-trans rules in the US 🥺
Leeja referenced a Trans Relocation Guide, so we wanted to share this here for any US folks affected by this 
Additionally, in case you're not already aware of it, there's a global, umbrella organisation called ILGA World that we recommend checking out. It's sub-divided into regional network organisations and has over 2000 member organisations.
The regional networks are:
- ILGA Asia
- ILGA-Europe
- ILGA Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) (no website - only a Facebook page)
- ILGA North America and the Caribbean (no website - only a Facebook group)
- ILGA Oceania (Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and Pacific islands) (no website - only a Facebook page)
- Pan Africa ILGA
ILGA-Europe produces a yearly Rainbow Map to rank European (and some adjacent) countries by LGBTQIA+ rights and equality.
If you are affected by the recent anti-trans rights actions taken in the US or elsewhere, please, please make a note of the above organisations, as well as the below websites about gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT):
Suffice to say, boosts very much welcome and appreciated

"A recent graduate of the LSU Health New Orleans School of Nursing has been held in an ICE processing center in Basile, Louisiana, for the past six months following her arrest by immigration agents over the summer...Palacios said she applied for asylum as a child. She had previously been granted a work permit and had requested another when she was arrested in June. She does not have any criminal convictions."

Many clinicians ask for #consent to record appointments.
Do patients?
A 2015 paper found 77% of patients WANT clinics to allow recording.
- 35% CONSIDERED secretly recording
- 15% DID secretly record
"19 (15%) respondents indicated having secretly recorded a clinical encounter and 14 (11%) were aware of someone who had secretly recorded a clinical encounter. 45 (35%) said they would consider recording secretly and 44 (34%) said they would record after asking permission. Totally, 69% of respondents indicated their desire to record clinical encounters, split equally between wanting to do so covertly or with permission."

Though #MikeJohnson had signaled openness to allowing debate on the proposal, he ultimately rejected a bid to do so by politically vulnerable #Republicans who had hoped for a vote that would, at the very least, allow them to show voters they had tried to avoid rising premiums.
