While most of Europe is getting tough on migrants and asylum-seekers, residents on one Canary island are taking a more friendly approach to newcomers — because they say it reflects their own recent history. The World's @gerryhadden reports from El Hierro. bit.ly/42ciNNf

US healthcare cruelty: Read friend @michaelcdeibert 's thread on @PennMedicine not responding to his pleas to start treatment for colon cancer. Healthcare is a human right and coverage should be universal. Shame on @PennMEHP and the sickness profiteers. nitter.cf/michaelcdeibert/status…
More than 48 hours and still no contact from @PennMedicine despite the message below.

"The comic novel has fallen out of fashion, as has comedy, and yet our inflated cultural sense of self is still in need of the kind of old-fashioned puncturing Gerry Hadden offers up in Everything Turns Invisible." Kyle Minor, author Praying Drunk amzn.to/3ubusKm #books

The events in the United States on January 6 demonstrated that democracies are self-correcting and resilient because they vest power in institutions, not in rulers. The display should not make the world’s autocrats rest any easier, argues @DCTwining. trib.al/xN8ceED

As I was leaving Peru yesterday, on one of last flights out, there were just 38 reported Covid-19 cases. Peruvian friend: Yes, but in our hospitals there's often no running water. As for washing hands, well, we're in trouble...

#HighRiskCovid19 I’m 38 and currently having chemotherapy for the second time in 6 years. There are lots of us who would never describe ourselves as vulnerable but it seems in this #COVIDー19 situation, we are. Please think of us if you’re feeling unwell and #StayAtHome
