Please remember that nonprofit and not-for-profit are only a federal tax filing status. These terms do not denote ethics or morality. In fact, many legitimate businesses operate as non-profits with exorbitant operating and overhead fees making leadership wealthy. They sink the "profit" into c-suite salaries or growth. This is definitely not your solution.

You can look at this picture as 1) Sisyphus failing to get the rock uphill. 2) Sisyphus being strong enough not to let the rock roll over him. 3)Sisyphus not giving up regardless of 1 or 2. 2/3 of these perspectives are healthy, the first one is defeatist.

@KimbleKimble6 This video is precious. It took my breath. I remember that magic moment with my own kids. And the baby in the video is an absolute cherub. ♥️

One of my favorite quotes: "Sometimes God sends his angels in the form of other people." 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 Storytime: My cousin had a poster on her bedroom wall back in the 70s when we were children. It had a funny looking kid on it and the words read: "I know I’m perfect, cause God don’t make no mistakes."

👋 I'm on your side in Rhode Island. We have a five-alarm fire raging here. I have brought the MDs into the discussion and we have created a package of real solutions. I have spent a year under my own sails to advocate changes. Unfortunately, corralling docs is like herding cats, they don't show up to comittee hearings. Time constraints play a role for many docs; and the retired docs who have the TIME to enter the arena, selfishly, do not. Who shows up? Lawyers, insurers, Pharma lobbyists, etc. The NPs, RNs, PAs, CRNAs are organized here and have hammered out protections for themselves. Docs are waiting in the dugout on the wrong field wondering why they don't get at bat. Maybe it's because advocacy and leadership are actually built into all core nursing curriculum. Sorry if that's cynical, some need to hear it. National leadership is needed with state-run coalitions. Not the AMA. From what I hear, docs are not even IN the AMA. Primary care is the first collapse, the dam is already breached. If I sound alarmed, it's because I am.

McKee Campaign Team @DanMcKeeRI

The PAC Helena Foulkes donated to was Donald Trump's single largest campaign donor. Before that, she was personally writing checks to Mitch McConnell. Governor McKee has spent every day in office standing up to Trump's attacks on Rhode Islanders' jobs and health care.

@DavidPlace01 Every Democrat run major city in this nation suffers like this. We are about the same size as some of those areas-- we are clearly playing the same game. "Hey Detroit! Hey Chicago! Hey S.F., hold my beer! "

@ccnrhodeisland 1) It is not 350k. Not yet. 2) I have personally spent the last year of my life opening doors, having conversations, begging to be heard-- there ARE solutions, and they are not complex. I have a package of bills on this-- and I will keep pushing.

@Policy_Solution Nonprofit is merely a tax filing status. It does not signify morality.

@projo They should visit my inbox. Form Letters from across the nation vs the folks in my own district show quite the interesting tell on where local folks stand. I will vote my district. That's the job.

Sadly, MDs have no organizational /collective bargaining. They have no seat at the table, instead, they are on the menu. As my home state of RI marches toward a collapse of our primary care... how can so few see this? One Doc told me: it's not a critical situation anymore. It's an autopsy.

Well, to quote one of the most brilliant minds of American history: "Nothing can be certain, except death and taxes." I've also read that lack of debate proves that the matter is already settled. (I honestly don't recall who said that- but I'll buy you a coffee if you can ID the first quote. It's an easy one, Ian! )

@favelaoverlord @teacherinRI My understanding was that .com is "supposed" to signal USA based domain names bc Verisign is US based . So, you're not wrong. However, anyone in the world can register a .com. But, yes, unless using a country coded TLD - America should be listed first.
