I had an energizing conversation earlier today with Joyce Vance about how we fight authoritarianism head-on, and what it will take to get ourselves out of the crisis we’re living through.

My latest Fine Print [ [link removed] ] column: The assault on rural hospitals is an assault on all
Across the country, rural hospitals are shutting their doors, leaving entire communities without emergency rooms, maternity care, or even basic health services. Behind every closure is a family forced to drive hours for treatment, a local nurse pushed out of the job she loves, a town losing one of its last remaining anchors.
Nowhere is this more evident than here in Georgia. In my latest Fine Print column for the Georgia Trust for Local News (GTLN), I talk about the closure of the labor and delivery unit at St. Mary’s Sacred Heart Hospital in Lavonia, how Trump’s Medicaid cuts are accelerating these closures, and what it will take for us to put a stop to this cruelty. This is a crisis made by decisions—it’s up to us to stop it.
