** The Merits of Medicare for All Have Been Proven by This Pandemic ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
By Sonali Kolhatkar on Jul 06, 2020 04:00 pm
[link removed]

The horror of the coronavirus pandemic proves that progressives have been justified in demanding a single-payer health care system. A pandemic is not the time to be having discussions about how to design a national health care system. The fact that the United States, which has 4 percent of the world’s population, leads the world with 25 [...]

** What The World Is… ([link removed])

It is possible, I suppose that sometime we will learn everything there is to learn: what the world is, for example, and what it means. Mary Oliver from “Daises”

Oliver wrote “It is possible, I suppose that sometime we will learn everything there is to learn: what the world is, for example, and what it means.” I am failing to connect my own life experience to that of Oliver’s. I don’t like what I am learning about the world. What I keep learning about the world is disconnected from Oliver’s intimate and sacred connection to nature. What it means to me right now is that I am living in a zone of awareness in which I am witnessing the decline of American society.

After his disastrous handling of the COVID-19 epidemic, Trump is trying to improve his waning electoral chances by reserving all of Gilead’s stock of remdesivir. The U.S. has bought up almost all of the stock of remdesivir from Gilead, making it nearly impossible for this COVID-19 drug to be available anywhere else in the world. [...]

When President Clinton dropped 23,000 bombs on what was left of Yugoslavia in 1999 and NATO invaded and occupied the Yugoslav province of Kosovo, U.S. officials presented the war to the American public as a “humanitarian intervention” to protect Kosovo’s majority ethnic Albanian population from genocide at the hands of Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic. That [...]

Since we are able to accept the suffering of others when we dehumanize them, we must start with the simple recognition that Palestinians are fully human. (Common Dreams) For decades, Israel has used talk of peace as a cover for expansion of an unjust system. We are now poised on a dangerous cliff that should [...]
