This is a crime.
Your daily reminder that the insulin I’ve used for 26 years, Humalog, has gone from $21 a vial to $275 a vial with no changes to the insulin or even the packaging. That’s a 1200% increase on a hormone every human requires to live, but my body can’t make. I die in 48 hours w/o it

Govt policy is frequently an assault on our health.
Toxins in food, poison in water, pollutants in air, chemicals in pesticides all accumulating in our bodies & turning into disease.
All because govt fails to protect us, bowing too often to corporate demands for profit first.

No matter what our politics, a healthy skepticism regarding overreach by government is appropriate.

I really appreciate Donziger staying on this. I share his fury.
BREAKING: @ATLSolFund reports Georgia police brazenly lied in their sworn court affidavits by claiming climate protestors were designated "violent extremists" by the DHS – which the agency confirmed to the Washington Post is not true.
What else are Georgia police lying about?

Corporate tyrants.
After decimating Indigenous groups in the Amazon and evading a $9.5 billion pollution judgement in Ecuador, @Chevron is now reporting a $75 billion buyback of its own stock. How the rich get richer while the poor die.
This company should lose its license to operate.

It turns out the world is not a machine, the world is a screen onto which we project our thoughts.
Changing the world starts by changing how we think.
For one day, anytime you’re about to judge or blame someone choose to bless them instead.
You’ll see exactly what I mean. 2/2

The 20th century was dominated by a Newtonian, mechanistic paradigm.
The world was thought to be a big machine, and all we had to do to change the world was to tweak the machine.
The 21st-century mindset is different. 1/2

Einstein said we won’t solve the problems of the world from the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.
Something deeper, more holy is trying to emerge now.
All of us in our own way are called to bring it forth. 2/2

Gandhi said politics should be sacred.
He didn’t mean it should be religious. He meant it should come from the deepest part of who we are.
Modern politics isn’t a conduit for the emergence of a new world because it’s an old conversation. 1/2

If we’re going to change the world, it’s going to take more than doing different things.
It’s going to take becoming different people.
It’s not enough to say that we want more compassionate and merciful policies.
We need to become more compassionate and merciful people.
