reminder that a major factor in the under-funding and under-diagnosis of ME/CFS & Long Covid is medical misogyny

Let me remind you that the leader of the Canadian Conservative party is on record for the permanent abolition of all future vaccine mandates, no matter the degree of public health emergency or epidemic, no matter the risk of uncontrolled spread, no matter the potential suffering and deaths.

Hi Bluesky 👋 Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

A young Tory MP's name gets mentioned as someone ready to cross the floor. He goes to ground and then suddenly announces he is stepping down. Young MPs just don't quit politics unless someone dumped a political horse head in the bed. #cutthroatontherideau #carneyneedsjust1

🚨 Shout out to these 2 women from McKees Rocks, PA (outside of Pittsburgh). They dragged these ICE people and the police who stood idly by as a man was disappeared. ✊🏼No Fear✊🏼 1/2

Newsom: Joe Rogan is the Facebook of podcasting.

There's gonna be a lot of tired Torontonians tomorrow. #worldseries

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Probably the main reason Doug Ford wants to get rid of speed cameras. #onpoli #TOpoli

Same. #AlsoTiredOfWaitingForTheEPSTEIN_Files

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement? The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy. At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Every week Poilievre repeats the same playbook - fearmongering, scapegoating, and distortion. Here’s what Poilievre pushed this last week-- and what the data actually says. #cdnpoli

I've watched Ford's daughter drive like a bat out of hell on the Etobicoke streets. So maybe daddy can't afford the fines? Also, his buddies in their luxury vehicles and his donors probably received too many tickets. #onpoli #TOpoli

I wonder which of the Vaughan "developers" got dinged with a speeding ticket from an automated camera. "Hey Dougie. Uncle Vito doesn't like speed cameras. You know what to do."

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

I can't get over how weird this photo is. I love that someone in England captioned it: "Darling, be a dear and DO click on the floor lamp."

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

❤️ if you think Kimmel and Colbert need to start their own podcasts immediately to amplify the resistance so the truth can be made loud and clear and we can take back the House and Senate come 2026 midterms.

They claim autocracy isn’t their plan, but they sure are governing like there is never going to be a Democratic president again.

This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment. This is the litmus test. Learn from history. Who will step up and fight? Who will bend the knee and be complicit? History will remember.

This mf’er is a hugely unpopular lame duck and people and institutions with actual power are out here acting, for eight months straight, like he’s some goddam immortal emperor. Fuck that noise.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

It’s pretty crazy that this administration wants to charge minors as adults, but not adults for abusing minors.

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

It's interesting that the asshole who fully embraced the sedition convoy, engages in daily rage farming, and attacks the transgender community relentlessly is now seeking to grift more taxpayer money for additional protection. That’s a hard no. #cdnpoli

Charlie Kirk spent his life making people like me unsafe. His followers sent me death threats for years and threatened my employer if they didn’t terminate me. His work was NEVER about free speech. It was about hate and emboldening violent people. The dishonesty of the past 24hrs is disgusting.

The Niebolt Street house from Stephen King’s “It” was a derelict, dilapidated and abandoned property that housed a portal to pure evil. In Hamilton, this is a charming, characteristic 2-storey with a loft on a spacious corner lot in a quiet neighbourhood and was just reduced to $899,000.00 😂

The media's job RIGHT NOW should be educating the public on who Charlie Kirk was, and his many evil positions. They have ample footage to illustrate it As should every political 'resistance' esque group. Where's the Lincoln Project's two minute highlight reel of his violent, racist, Christofascism

Tbf, he thinks it happened on 7/11

Biff never had to look for a job in his life. #onpoli

The gaslighting on the signature is maybe their most embarrassing thing yet. Just an absolute disregard for the truth, or dignity. @reptimburchett

Anybody else think Doug Ford is behind these speed cameras being vandalized? #onpoli #TOpoli

Holy Shit!!!!! Did he have his tighty whitey's on? #PedoCult #TrumpPedo

Four years ago, I tested for COVID. I'd had dinner with someone with cancer the night before. Thanks to the vaccine, I did not give that dinner companion COVID. And I only ran a low-grade fever for a few days. Fuck that idiot RFK Jr. and the equally stupid buffoon who hired him.

Today’s journalists act so afraid.

I'm not taking health advice from someone who looks like a gas station hot dog.

Shuler: They want to convince people that we are each other’s enemies—that we need to fight one another to land a good job, to find a home in a safe neighborhood, that only so many of us can live with dignity at the same time. But we are not each other’s enemies. We are each other’s neighbors

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
