Yesterday, @aaron.rupar of Public Notice & David Nir, our publisher, held a live discussion asking, "Can American democracy survive a full-scale assault?" They talk voter suppression, election subversion, Trump's dark plans & more. Watch the full event here!
A survey of OBGYNs in Texas found that 72% of respondents agree or strongly agree that current laws prevent them from providing optimal medical care. A majority fear repercussions.
76% strongly disagree or disagree that they can follow best practices or evidence-based standards.
More than 1 in 5 said they’ve considered leaving Texas, and 1 in 50 said they already have.
More than 1 in 10 said they plan on retiring early, while 1 in 25 said they are no longer practicing obstetrics. 1 in 30 are leaving medicine entirely.
Alberta doesn't pay into CPP. Individual Canadians do and each individual Canadian pays the same premiums and get the same benefits no matter where they live. Danielle Smith wants you to believe that Alberta, a province with 12% of the population and 16% of the contribution, can walk away with 53% of the fund because that's "just math".
There is no money to pay for Smith's touted $1,425 saving or $5,000 retirement bonus, because there is no $334 billion transfer amount.
Trump lies. Always.

atthenius - @Ruth_Mottram I think I got it all set up.
But it is Bluesky who is choosing not to federate at all as I understand it.
Wish they would.

I've had a lot of questions over the last few weeks about how Ghost is going to avoid ending up in the same situation as WordPress.
A lot of trust in open source has been broken.
So, I spent some time writing up how we structure and think about business, governance, open source, community, and ecosystems more broadly.
I certainly don't think we've got it all figured out — but I think our model is especially relevant at this particular moment in time.

in reply to E Rosalie • • •The brain drain is real. Not all doctors will leave, but many of the smartest ones will. I'd sure as heck get out if I were in that situation. Now. As a potential patient, which state would you rather live in.
Just another aspect of this cold civil war we're in
