Egads and Gadzooks, the Nazis are everywhere. But I think I just might possibly, with my tiny little female brain, be able to suss them out, should I run into one by accident.

This was a nauseating read. Written beautifully as always, but I had to take breaks from the content.
I have been studying the effects of neoliberalism on healthcare for awhile now. The outcome is a repeated public health failure.
Healthcare as a commodity is very normalized for those of us who grew up in the 80s or were not yet born. It's not normal. It doesn't work. Boy, does it not work.
It is important that we begin to think of what is next. We can do so much better.
Our housing non-profit hosted a free screening of a local Maine documentary that explores homelessness. One of the comments was that we can’t let homeless people and tent cities become normative. He went on to say that the in the 80s homelessness began to increase. I am president of our board and shared this truth. We all know that the government started dismantling the safety net then. Thanks for your comment. And thanks to Jared for his essay.
Thanks for the continued education and confirmation of my research that I have conducted over the past few years. This piece provides an excellent overview and I have been posting your writings on Substack and elsewhere in particular when people ask "what is going on?"
Regarding the oases, I envision the Don, his family, the MAGA Chainsaw Massacre dude and others shipping water from my state of California to Gaza. They will use the water to irrigate their golf courses and fill their pools and fountains while our salmon and steelhead populations go the way of the woolly mammoth.
"Ain't it grand?' as my family from the south would say. It is a grand fuck over of the masses so that the Chainsaw Massacre DOGE can move to Mars. Hopefully the martians will vaporize his spaceship in an area of space visible to these awful people...

I’m still weighing options but it doesn’t appear there are any sites that are particularly stringent about any of this, as is the case with social media. Unfortunately we’re living in a moment where markets are not ethical and this push around Substack has been centered at trying to go after left and progressive voices who have managed to build a platform outside corporate mediums that aren’t interested in critiques of capitalism. I’m still looking and researching.
The network of “federated” servers seems to be less (or not at all) infested by fascists. For example, I’m on Mastodon.social and it’s been “clean” for the last year.
On the other hand, when the oligarchs gain complete control of the Internet in any country probably no space will be free of their toxic cr**.

It doesn't have to be like this.

This is going in my Friday roundup on Untrickled!
Thank you for the hard truth we need to know.
It has come to my attention that substack is a Nazi bar and at this time I do not want to support any nazis.
Is there any chance you would consider moving to another platform, e.g., Ghost, that doesn't support nazis?
Although I am a paying subscriber, I feel I have no choice but to unsubscribe. Your voice is important and I will miss reading your thoughts.
Thanks for considering a move.
