Over the last decade, Valley Children's Hospital claimed it gave $90.5 million back to the community, according to tax filings. How would you react if 80% of that went to the hospital's own medical group? I spent a month reporting this for @fresnoland: https://t.co/CcPOpVaORE

Of the $90.5 million the hospital spent on direct community investment in the last decade, 80% went to its associated medical group.

Reminder that this is a second wave, a few days behind the Global Sumud Flotilla. We’re still sailing as the last of those participants are being released from Israeli prison.

We’re on high alert tonight. The Conscience and Thousand Madleens flotilla are ~200 nautical miles from Gaza, approaching the so-called “red zone” in international waters where Israel has attacked flotillas attempting to reach Gaza in the past.

I think like many people I’ve been confused why every company from my landlord to my grocery store and hospital is trying to sell me financial products and lend money. I looked into it and discovered a new wave of financialization where every corporation now wants to be a bank:
