From the Chicago Daily Tribune: Don MacGregor Killed by Villistas
Despite the title, HRC has nothing to do with the subject matter of this post--but she serves as a damn good role model for what is now infecting medical literature. Twin themes here are a) money buys influence and b) there is no end of sell-outs. This article isn't sexy but it is important.
We have been getting involved in the "Nuit Debout" movement here in France.
Fed up of the same old political elite, fed up of the same inequality and fed up of the same failure to serve the people.
Much is at stake in November. If enough people do not show up to vote for the Democratic nominee, a Republican will be elected as president, and the GOP may very well control all three branches of government. In addition, the next president will likely have a rare opportunity to swing the court dramatically to the left or to the right for the next several decades. Republicans are offering a slate of presidential candidates that is especially horrific; much of the world visibly cringes at the thought of the current front-runner, Donald Trump, being sworn into office. To avoid many nightmares, the Democratic nominee simply must win the presidential election. The alternative is unthinkable.

Identified only as Mr. C, the 28-year-old plaintiff says that he has identified as a transgender man since college.
Mr. C applied for a sales job with the Ciming Health Checkup Center in Guiyamg, Guizhou Province, last April.

From the International Socialist Review: Robert Minor: "In the Anthracite Hills"
I knew I'd lost my chance. It was 7:44 am and I knew that the venue where Bernie Sanders was holding a town hall event today in my city had opened at seven to allow people to enter. I had meant to get up at 5:00 am, but I'd had a rough night. Pain in my shoulder, pain in my left hip, pain in my neck. The kind of pain that keeps you awake, that doesn't give you a moment's peace. Pain that was worse than usual for me, and a sure sign that my autoimmune symptoms had flared up.
