This is the best account of what it’s like to be a long term survivor. For those of us diagnosed before the meds, stigma has a whole different meaning. They don’t want to see the wounds we bear from a hard fought battle and don’t understand the toll it’s taken. /1

Hmmmm, everyone can’t get enough of those teaser emails….it almost seems like they are distracted from the healthcare premiums that are about to skyrocket. Coincidence? 🤔

Interesting…they worry about the potentially flawed research on HRT so they remove a war in but that Vaccines Cause Autism thing is ‘scientifically proven’

THIS is what a credible source looks like. Not ‘a source familiar with someone who sat next to an unnamed aide and agreed to speak off the record’ as we’ve seen all afternoon

I’m a no.

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

See how this works? Portugal actually intercepted the vessel instead of randomly blowing it out of the fucking water

Assistant DHS secretary Tricia McLaughlin: “This is nothing more than a desperate Hail Mary attempt to keep a criminal illegal alien in our country” I can’t imagine dead one would have to be inside to say that about a man wanting to be with his daughter as she battles cancer

So they CAN afford 2 private jets to carry that worthless bag of Botox and dermal filler around the country. But body cams to ensure accountability are just out of reach budget wise

Read the headline on the article…they MAY be vindictively punishing him to quote the judge. MAY be 🙄

Don't let your Senators get wobbly on us! Send a letter today! No unconditional surrender on continuing resolution. Save public health. Save science. Save healthcare. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Sorry @apnews.com but NO! This is a grossly misleading headline and article and I’m shocked to see such a blatant misrepresentation of the facts.

Morbid curiosity made me want to know what the fuckhead said in his UN speech. I knew I couldn’t stand listening to his voice that long without jabbing a fork in my ears so I found the transcript. I’ve never been more embarrassed to be am American…that’s a heavy statement times being what they are

Longing for simpler times like the Saturday Night Massacre…Nixon only fired 2 Attorneys General and a special prosecutor to create a constitutional crisis. But now…look what can happen in a single Saturday…progress?

This is a well written piece that sums up my reaction very well

I think this is what we’re afraid of…i think the word he was looking for is improvement

THIS is the response that matters, someone who actually served calling out our joke of a commander in chief

Come join us on September 16th at 11AM ET until 11AM the next morning for 24 Hours to Save AIDS Research from from the attacks by the Trump Administration. @saveaidsresearch.bsky.social

I fail to see the need to hand trump any credit for dumb luck. Let’s not forget that operation warp speed came AFTER he suggested that we inject bleach that hydroxychloroquine was the answer among other quackery. Hardly worthy of a Nobel prize

Do people posting excruciatingly long threads know that it’s like trying to read a novel delivered in a box of fortune cookies?

I’ve learned to live with the undeserved pardons and the ridiculous cabinet picks but this is fucking insane!

Gotta love this! Local UCSD Doctor too

Finally! This has been buried under so many distractions that it somehow escaped notice. I’d love to see less talk about the bullshit Epstein files and more real outrage over this and other atrocities.

People need to read this and other stories about what’s actually going on with redistricting. Seems that everyone thinks this is the work of one heroic move by Newsom and new maps are automatically set to counter Texas’ move. There still needs to be an election in November

There’s NO WAY she knows even half of the words that are mentioned as being in that letter.

I can only imagine the parts they left out

It’s a shame he’s not American, he could be president. Maybe trump can give him pointers on how to be a convicted rapist and keep your job

It’s not the biggest win, but it’s a victory especially considering we’re in the minority

But something remarkable happened. We fought for our lives and survived. Many didn’t. Not sugar coating the costs of that struggle. But just to say there is a day after this. And we’ll celebrate but never forget what they’ve done. End/

Fact check for the alarmists out there

THIS RIGHT HERE is exactly why migrant labor is hired and how they’re exploited. This pay is called piecework and it is illegal unless it has a base minimum wage. Wanna know why trump called off raids in farm workers? Because this unfair system is the backbone of corporate farming

This country is in a constitutional crisis. The president has ordered the occupation of our 2nd largest city and claims he plans to ‘liberate’ it. This is the talk of nazism, fascism, dictatorship. The congress refuses to do its job to hold the presidency in check.

NEW: Important Context spoke with a dozen people working at NIH about Director Jay Bhattacharya. The descriptions were universally unflattering, painting the health economist as ineffectual, dishonest, ideological, arrogant, and uncommitted to science. www.importantcontext.news/p/out-of-his...

This survey has provided data to develop prevention programs to combat substance misuse and change health outcomes. Taking action on substance abuse prevention is proven to cut public health spending much more efficiently than slashing the Medicaid budget

One more time! His tariff threats are just a distraction. I wonder what he slipped in under the radar this time. apnews.com/article/dona...

What the hell is the point of linking a story behind a paywall?! Any idea how many different subscriptions a person would need for all the links? it’s infuriating…especially when it’s the LA Times, WaPo or NYT which everyone should be boycotting…I am anyway

Here’s one way to beat the bigotry apnews.com/article/bois... Salt Lake City and Boise make pride flags official city emblems, skirting flag ban laws

Harm reduction, including NARCAN is proven to save lives. This is going to be a huge disaster

Surprisingly, this pisses me off a little. He shows up, destroys literally every agency he touches, flouts every principle of government, fails to produce promises results and now he wants to run. He should be forced to clean up his damned mess.

At least we know he’s alive! Well done Senator, persistence pays off!

A perfect example would be Gavin Newsom

This is one that really matters. Small county in the middle of the red heart of California.

I could watch this clip a thousand times

A bigger victory when you consider that Thurmond was the biggest racist in the senate and never changed

“Greenland’s residents and politicians have reacted with anger to Trump’s repeated suggestions, with Danish leaders also pushing back” We need to stop dumbing this down. It’s not a “suggestion” it’s a threat of hostile aggression. apnews.com/article/gree...

2025: #TB community is confronting clinic closures, treatment pauses & cancelled clinical trials in fallout from USAID grant terminations. TAG + our allies remain dedicated to fighting for everyone, everywhere to have access to TB treatment, diagnosis, & prevention. We WILL fight #WorldTBDay2025

The Trump administration plans to defund over $1 bil in CDC HIV prevention programs, shutting down the Division of HIV Prevention andslashing access to PrEP, STI, & hepatitis prevention. With 30,000+ infections still happening yearly, now is NOT the time to cut funding.
