This July, @acleek.bsky.social & I made a radio show about a major hospital landlord named Medical Properties Trust.

Now, we’ve unraveled MPT's aggressive effort to silence and surveil its critics as they tried to raise alarm, using docs leaked to @occrp.org www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The secret campaign to silence critics of a hospital real estate empire

When skeptics called out Medical Properties Trust, they found themselves harassed—and surveilled.

Interesting to see how Amazon Ring is slowly rolling out enabling footage from your doorbell camera to be requested by law enforcement (police, ICE and animal control?). The feature is officially “starting with lost pets” to get people used to the idea.

What a crazy random happenstance.

What's the street address? I know you may be kidding, but I'm fully serious. It is a long drive, so it would be upsetting if I drove all the way their for nothing.

While hospitals across the country were falling apart, leaving patients in crisis and facilities severely understaffed, a shocking campaign to silence and surveil critics was underway.

Read @h-lev.bsky.social and @acleek.bsky.social's latest investigation into Medical Properties Trust.

Obviously this means we're due for a Splash remake.

Popular baby names through the years and revelant cultural moments.

In 1984, the movie "Splash" premiers, starring Daryl Hannah as Madison.

Line graph showing the name 'Madison' rising sharply in popularity from 1980 to 2019, peaking near 12,000 per million births, then dropping in 2020.

Three words: Smart Cities Mission. Nothing quite like every single person I talked to joking about it when I asked about something that looked new and incomplete since my last trip.

Would not be shocked to learn this is more about casting Jared Leto than it is about the movie itself.

The cost of going to the movies probably doesn't help either.

Almost undoubtedly. In general, I think there are unavoidable reasons to meet with bad people beyond campaign donations. But there's no reason to be nice to them while doing so. Many congressmembers are former litigators, they know how to be polite but firm.
