Doctors at a major insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files. “We literally click & submit,” a former @Cigna doctor told @propublica @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.” propub.li/405d89f

I'm just learning that Las Vegas NM and Jackson MS are struggling with securing clean water for their residents. Flint MI has been struggling for...years. This is so unbelievable, that the US (!) isn't able to rectify this. "No money" just seems like an inappropriate response.

In Roxbury, officially known as the “heart of black culture in Boston,” in the 1960s the government demolished the Dudley Street Church and replaced it with a police station. (I posted this earlier, but this time I took a try at colorizing the "before" photo.)

When my mom died I found this Letter to the Editor among her possessions. She’s calling out John Klein, the Town Supervisor in Smithtown LI, for his racist housing policies. I think it’s from the 1970s. It inspires me to name names, and call out BS. Don’t live afraid.

If Black elders who suffered Jim Crow are still w/us, & Native elders who were stripped of their land & rights are still w/us, & Japanese elders who were forced into Camps are still w/us—why do we pretend the people & systems who committed those atrocities are magically gone?🤔
