The image is a black-and-white political poster from 1972, featuring Shirley Chisholm, an American politician and civil rights activist. The central figure in the poster is Chisholm, who appears speaking with her hands gesturing as if she's making a point or addressing someone directly.
At the top of the poster, large bold text reads "BRING U.S. TOGETHER," followed by smaller red letters stating "VOTE CHISHOLM 1972." Below Chisholm's image, there is more text in black that says "UNBOUGHT AND UNBOSSED."
The overall tone of the poster suggests a message of unity and authenticity as it promotes Shirley Chisholm's presidential campaign. The design uses contrasting colors—black for bold lettering against white—and has an energetic feel to convey strength and determination.
This image is from Bring U.S. together. Vote Chisholm 1972, unbought and unbossed [1972], which likely refers to the book or publication where this poster appears as a part of historical context on Shirley Chisholm's presidential campaign in that year. The dimensions mentioned (sheet size) indicate it was intended for display purposes.

New Rules at VA Effect Treatment and Hiring of Patients and Staff Based Upon Political and Marital Affiliations

Please note this not "only" effects patients -- staff can be discriminated against (or fired?) for #nationalorigin , #sexualorientation , #maritalstatus, membership in a #union and/or lawful political party affiliation.

Hashtags in quotes below added by me to the quotes.

TITLE: ‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans
URL: theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j

"Doctors at Department of #Veterans Affairs ( #VA ) hospitals nationwide could refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats under new hospital guidelines imposed following an executive order by Donald Trump."

"The new rules, obtained by the Guardian, also apply to #psychologists, dentists and a host of other occupations. They have already gone into effect in at least some VA medical centers."

"Medical staff are still required to treat veterans regardless of race, color, religion and sex, and all veterans remain entitled to treatment. But individual workers are now free to decline to care for patients based on personal characteristics not explicitly prohibited by federal law."

"Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated."

...

"They 'seem to open the door to #discrimination on the basis of anything that is not legally protected', said Dr Kenneth Kizer, the VA’s top healthcare official during the Clinton administration. He said the changes open up the possibility that doctors could refuse to treat veterans based on their “reason for seeking care – including allegations of #rape and #sexualassault – current or past political #partyaffiliation or #politicalactivity, and personal 'behavior such as alcohol or marijuana use'."

...

"Similarly, the bylaw on 'decisions regarding medical staff membership' no longer forbids VA hospitals from discriminating against candidates for staff positions based on national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, membership in a labor organization or 'lawful political party affiliation'."

> On the other hand, to satisfy this need might require channeling into the production or importing of automobiles a great many material and social resources that could be devoted to other ends---a channeling and organization of social resources that is already political 🧵
