’His [Jacob Israël de Haan, an Orthodox Jewish queer poet and lawyer ] steadfast opposition to mainstream Zionism made de Haan a controversial figure, drawing the ire of Zionist leadership. On 30 June 1924, de Haan was assassinated by a member of the Zionist organization Haganah.’
Zionists have that way with bullets

Not great.
In #Canada, vet #consolidation has gone largely unnoticed amid a vet shortage and stories of vet burnout.
2023 report from the Ontario #Veterinary #Medical Association #OMVA said #CorporateInterests contol 20% of #VeterinaryHospitals in Canada, and estimates those chains employ about 40% of the nation's vets.

Taken together, it’s what those who study #authoritarian regimes warn is a classic case of what’s called #consolidation — where the #state apparatus is being transformed around a singular figure, in this case #Trump.
Jason Stanley, a philosophy prof at Yale, said in #history the question comes up over & over again: How could people not have taken an authoritarian leader at his word about what was going to happen?
UnitedHealth's Optum has rather quietly assembled ~90,000 physicians into its provider empire
But its acquisition of a 100-provider clinic in Oregon is drawing outsized scrutiny due to Oregon's oversight and transparency laws, which may be the new norm

Elizabeth Warren tweets:
In the mid-’90s, the 20 biggest U.S. banks held 15% of all bank assets.
Today, they hold more than 65%.
More consolidation = more risks for consumers, small businesses, & our economy. It’s time for regulators to promote more competition & strengthen merger review guidelines.

@adamconover (I hope that's legit) makes a great point with compelling details that the root of most of our current problems in the US and maybe globally is the reemergence of #trusts via rampant, unchecked #corporate #consolidation aka #mergers.
We need #TrustBusters in our government to not only block mergers but to actively #BreakThemUp.
Yes we need #MedicareForAll and stronger #unions and #VotingReform and #PoliceReform. But we won't get that or at least not as fast and definitely not for our maximum benefit if we let giant multinational corporations keep running everything.
Is anyone else starting to notice successive bank collapses and the assets being sold to large ones like Chase? Shouldn’t we be promoting more and smaller than few and larger? Seems like a future disaster is being created. https://apple.news/ATrZqns0MTaenbR5eQBFtJw #US #Bank #Consolidation

Corporate consolidation always goes badly for working people. It’s only ever done to benefit those at the very top, whose class interests directly conflict with the interests of humanity as a whole. Even if one were to argue that this doesn’t change the motivations at play, a larger corporation has more power. It has more power over labor because it controls more of the job market, and it has more power over the government by virtue of the share of the economy represented by the newly merged corporation.
