Marxists have descended on Chicago for a four-day conference called Socialism 2026. It’s a sad showcase of some of the dumbest, most dangerous political radicals our nation has been cursed with. Many of these kooks have infiltrated once-respected professions and are twisting them in perverse ways by injecting them with political poison. This includes nursing.
Here’s more. (READ)
“Nursing is political. It doesn’t start and stop in the hospital.”
At Socialism 2026, Zion Zorro*, a University of Chicago Medicine nurse with National Nurses United who also says she is a member of the Tempest Collective, explains why she sees nursing as inherently political.
She then points to NNU’s broader agenda, including “abolishing ICE, stopping the wars, ending harm and funding care,” and argues nurses should collaborate with other unions and movements as part of a larger collective fight.*
- I believe it is Zion Zorro, but I may have the spelling wrong. I did my due diligence trying to verify it and could not find a definitive public listing.
It’s frightening to think that a person overseeing your health and recovery could hurt or neglect you while in their care for supporting our nation’s immigration laws. Check out this insanity. (WATCH)

Hypocrisy is expected.
Posters say politics should be nowhere near nursing or flooding our hospital halls.
Nursing is about patient care and ONLY patient care PERIOD.

This witch needs to have her nursing license pulled.

If God forbid, you end up in the hospital, don't be wearing a right leaning t-shirt or a MAGA hat. Never reveal your political affiliation if you aren't solid left.

The kind of nurse you hope will not be taking care of you.

Nurses do not take the Hippocratic Oath like doctors, but many do take a similar pledge upon graduation. This politicization of nursing seems at odds with that pledge.
Commenters fear what this could mean for the future of nursing. They’ve seen what unions have done to other important sectors of society.
Unions of (mostly) women:

Education
Nursing
The Nurses Unions can do for healthcare what the Teachers Unions have done for education.

Yes, destroy it. Sadly, that’s the goal.
Editor's Note: The Democrat Party has been infected by socialism, and it's spreading FAST. Democrats are claiming there's nothing to worry about, but we know the truth.
