(Nor do they understand if only sick people have health insurance the economics don’t work…)

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

wrapping class discussion on Persepolis the comic/film with the window washer, and asked the class to imagine if in our country, the secretary of health & human services had no medical background or secretary of defense was a tv personality? Surely that would be ridiculous and never happen, right?

Slide with an image from Persepolis the book and two stills from Persepolis the film - in both a former window washer now in charge of who can leave Iran for medical reasons tells a woman her husband can only leave for surgery if god wills it… "If god wills it, he'll get better."

Irony is when a prof teaching the history of fascism goes to Spain, a country that lived under the tyranny of Franco until the mid 70s. A country who lived fascism is safer.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages
