    "The blockade is warfare.”

    That’s how Greg Levi describes #US policy toward Cuba after traveling to the island and seeing its impact firsthand.

    Levi, a #socialist candidate for the #USSenate in #Ohio, talked with BotB journalist Liz Oliva Fernández about what he saw in Cuban #hospitals and communities, why he believes US citizens don’t know much about Cuba, and why he refuses to stay silent despite the political risks.

    He also opens up about his working-class roots, his experience in the US military, his criticism of US democracy and why he chose to run for Senate as an independent socialist.

    U.S. Rep. Carlos Giménez (R-FL) says Cuba’s healthcare system “sucks” and “doesn’t work,” pointing to hospitals without #medicine and deteriorating conditions.

    But this criticism leaves out a major part of the story: the policies Giménez has championed are the reason why Cuba’s #hospitals are collapsing. #US #EconomicWarfare has restricted Cuba’s ability to obtain medicines, #medical equipment, fuel and other resources needed to keep its #healthcare system running.

  5. The Listener Will See You Now

    Ambient AI now records the conversation at the hospital bed and the exam table. The microphone is optional, for the moment. The receptionist slid a tablet across the counter and asked, in the bright tone reserved for upgrades, whether I would consent to let the clinic "AI Listen" to the appointment. Percy and Lotty, The Boles Brits, were already complaining inside their carrier, due for the rabies shots the state requires. The pitch was efficiency. The software would listen to my conversation with the veterinarian, transcribe it, and "ambient scribe" the care notes so the doctor could spend less time typing and more time with the animals. I declined. There was a checkbox for that, which I noted with the small relief of a man who has read the next paragraph before signing the first. […]

    I oppose government intrusion into the provider #patient #relationship.

    If a #woman is using #estrogen patches, it's none of your business why.

    Same for a #man using #testosterone. If he's trying to #cheat at #sports, the #league can manage it.

    #Rogaine and #Viagra are gender-affiriming care.

"If the #civilian harm of targeting the object is disproportionate to the #military gain, it cannot be attacked. For example, destroying a country’s electricity-generating capacity has cascading effects throughout a modern #society, disrupting #sanitation, #refrigeration, #hospitals & other necessities."

  12. #Fraud investgators have found over 300 fake rescues for #MtEverest climbers between 2022 and 2025. These actions have racked up nearly $20 million in fraudulent #insurance claims. The #Kathmandu Post first exposed the fake remote #rescue network in 2018, prompting a recent 700-page gov't report investigating 10 #helicopter providers, and six #corrupt #hospitals, working with 36 shady #travel and #rescue agencies. #Nepali police say the network persists due to difficulty to audit & reach #Everest and confirm #insurancefraud.

    In some cases, #drugs are administered to simulate altitude sickness and baking soda mixed into food to make trekkers appear ill.
