Gov. #TimWalz of #Minnesota replied to the social media post from #DHS by saying that “I’ve seen the video” & “don’t believe this #propaganda machine.” He promised “a full, fair & expeditious investigation.”

@GovTimWalz reply post: l've seen the video. Don't believe this propaganda machine. The state will ensure there is a full, fair, and expeditious investigation to ensure accountability and justice.

Dudes… watch the video… there WAS NO ATTACK!!!!

Several national #Republicans shared statements of support for #ICE after the #shooting. “Attacks on our law enforcement cannot be tolerated,” said [ #JanSixer] Rep #BarryLoudermilk of #Georgia.

Rep #AndyOgles of #Tennessee wrote that “if you put an ICE agent in mortal danger, self-defense is JUSTIFIED.”

Local & state officials [& anyone with eyeballs] have disputed federal accounts of the shooting & whether the agents were in any danger.

I'm working on a new project to make it easier to follow the #Georgia state legislature.

Besides a website and RSS feeds, I'm thinking of mastodon account that posts legislative action.

I'm curious if it'd be worth it to make individual accounts for votes by each member. Partly that seems like overkill. But part of me thinks it be easier to just follow, say, your reps.

I'm interested in thoughts, and boosts appreciate

Effective investigations into alleged police violence during the 2024 #Georgia protests are needed. In a letter, I express concerns to the Prosecutor General about the lack of accountability, despite reports of ill-treatment & injuries among protesters. See my letter and the authorities’ reply👇

"Why are people in #Albany ... so sick when its most powerful institution is a #hospital?

It didn’t surprise me to learn that ... some blamed #Phoebe for mishandling their loved ones’ cases...

What I didn’t expect was how fearful people were to criticize Phoebe on the record and how powerless they were to hold the hospital to account. The same was true of many of the current and former employees of the hospital."

Text from article:
I set out to answer a question I hoped would resonate with anyone who’s ever struggled to get the health care they need. Why are people in Albany — and, for that matter, the city of Albany itself — so sick when its most powerful institution is a hospital?

I started by speaking to dozens of people whose loved ones had died at Phoebe during COVID-19. It didn’t surprise me to learn that not all the miracles posted on Phoebe’s Facebook page were true. Maude Burke’s relatives told me she hadn’t fully recovered from COVID-19. She’d been readmitted to the hospital a couple days after she was discharged and died shortly thereafter. Nor did it surprise me that relatives like hers were bitter about their loss and that some blamed Phoebe for mishandling their loved ones’ cases. (A Phoebe spokesperson said, “We are confident that Ms. Burke received quality, compassionate care during her stay at Phoebe and that she was appropriately discharged.”)

When a well-off, widely respected pillar of the community and member of the hospital’s board can’t get the care he needs at the town’s only hospital, it raises the question: Who can?

“We had soiled beds, waiting rooms with holes in the chairs, mounting sepsis issues and had just laid off 200 qualified nurses,” a former Phoebe executive recalled, “but we had a new logo.”

In Part 2 of “Sick in a Hospital Town,” we look at how a century-old community hospital in Albany, Georgia, became the only hospital in town — and grew into a sprawling health care system by waging a yearslong battle to eliminate its competition.

Trump demanded "11,000 votes" to change Georgia's election results. To pretend otherwise whitewashes history

We visited Providence Canyon State Park in #Georgia for my birthday, which was on Thursday. The park has a disturbing origin story but the beauty of the strata below is undeniable. Earth is the original work of #art from which all of the art we create is derived. The last time we saw this many earthen colors was in New Mexico last year. Here, the soil is mostly sand, not clay but there was still some #clay present. #nature #geology
