My partner is going into the procedure room. I kissed them for good luck. Terrified of what could be’s, but will only know more when the procedure is done. This is routine and normal. They had a major colon resection and this colonoscopy is important. They may need a colostomy. Good luck

My partner’s chronic illness is such that no enema administered by a stranger will dissuade them from a proper colonoscopy

No Kings! No Tyranny in America! Exercise your First Amendment rights, or risk losing them. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are our inalienable rights. www.nokings.org

Go to NoKings.org and create that event and lead it. You can get it on the map! You can do this.

No Kings planners are trained. Promoting nonviolence and de-escalation. Most protests planned will be joyful and non-eventful. There probably will be counter protesters in bigger cities. But there’s a plan. No fear-mongering.

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY: Make your voices heard. Join us in a peaceful protest across our country against the most corrupt, deceitful & criminal Administration in U.S. History. We say NO KINGS, NO CROOKS, NO SPRAY-TAN CONMAN! 👎 Check for a location near you at: www.nokings.org #BeThere 👍

This is BY DESIGN. They are making vaccines difficult to obtain for the public (but they get them) while dismantling the pandemic detection and response infrastructure. They plan to invite and ride out the next pandemic in isolation and then buy up assets as people die off en mase.

You mean the Kansas flu epidemic labeled the “Spanish flu” epidemic? Our xenophobia & susceptibility to right wing propaganda has been on display for well over a hundred years.

The USA is on verge of collapse. The dollar will be worth nothing. The Regime and their Robber Barrons will hinge all on cryptocurrencies. This is all going to come crashing down. This is exactly what Project 2025 planned. There will be no other way out than Revolution. We are in 1789 France.

This whole regime is all about hiding reality because they want eugenics. No data means no problem. I hope independent agencies will continue to do the work to protect us all.

Unclench your jaw. Relax your brow. Go get a drink of water. See if you've taken your meds Eat something. Doesn't matter what you look like right now, i think you look amazing. Because you do. You're a wonderful person. And have this. 🫂🖤 you did great today. You made it through

They want to kill us and it’s eugenics. If maga doesn’t think this will affect them, they’re in for a very rude awakening because those red states will feel the worst impact of these decisions.

before appearing in other journals and publishes information on a wide variety of critical public health issues. This is a ruthless display of censoring public health information that is needed to ensure the public's health. It is irresponsible and endangering the lives of all Americans.

It’s that moment in the colonoscopy prep where there’s an almost peace and reprieve. My partner washed and rinsed. Starting the second dose of laxative and waiting for the shit to hit the bowl. If there’s any shit left. Has been vomiting, too. I’m terrified but bringing fluids and rags and buckets.

My partner is very sick. Going in for a colonoscopy tomorrow and may need a colostomy. Still recovering from cancer and in need of chemo. We can’t afford any of what’s happening to us, and we’ll ask family and friends for money first, so I need a quality and trustworthy fundraising service.

Trauma doesn’t just stay in your mind, it sits in your body for so long that if left unhealed, can impact your cells and change your DNA. When we say that wounds are inherited, we literally mean it. So learn to breathe, rest, and let go of what doesn’t deserve your attention before it consumes you.

5/6 I realised with the right support and adjustments I can do my job, and do it well However, if I’d not got the qualifications I did or I’d be forced into an unsuitable job I dread to think how unwell I’d be Disabled people aren’t just economic units pay tax, we’re people with so much potential

Here’s another great resource:

Republicans are currently going around the media to claim the nationwide peaceful No Kings protest on 10/18 is a “Hate America” rally. Actually, No Kings is a rally of love—love for the founding ideals of America, love for the democracy and freedoms we cherish, love for one another. Let’s show it:

Machado has received international recognition for her activism. In 2025, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy". (Wikipedia)

To be candid, I want the bubble to burst. Because it will eventually and inevitably, but the longer the current charade goes on the more our planet and communities are decimated— and the more dependent we become on the few powerful people left who control those resources.

It should strike people that the stock market isn’t crashing despite the shutdown. Like sub-prime mortgages, it has yet again totally detached itself from economic reality while they speculate on how many workers they can fire to replace with AI. It is helping a failing economic strategy save face.

We live in frightening times. We are asked to stay calm, to keep peaceful, to keep our anger from being expressed with violence. Trump is looking for ANY excuse to take complete power. AND he's setting things up to try to either CAUSE a violent reaction OR to make it look like that happened.

When the true history of this Trump presidency comes out in a few years, Americans and the world will be shamed and horrified

The only people who can vote are US citizens. Why deflect away from the very real threat we ALL face by focusing on immigrants right now? They have no political power. But US citizens do and they should be aware that assaults on immigrants are as threatening to them. Tell them to be scared.

America have been acting like fascists and dictators around the world for decades, and yet they are surprised that it is now turned inwards when they have spent decades voting red and blue who put Israel first, yet expect something different

Trump and Miller have described the protesters against ICE operations in Chicago and Portland as participating in organized violence against the federal government. This is fearmongering and looking for an excuse incite a confrontation between Americans. Disgusting.

I was born with congenital diseases/disabilities and it took decades until I became too sick to work for weeks or some days even move before I accepted that I don’t need permission - even from myself. Ableism was ingrained so deeply in us from birth we even torture ourselves

You’re allowed to identify as disabled, even if you think “others have it worse”. It’s not something that’s only gatekept by the “most severe”. Disability is a varied, diverse spectrum. If your condition(s) affect your life, if they disable you… you are valid.

It’s time for a general strike. Billionaires are nothing without people.

The general strike should be ongoing until conditions improve.

There needs to be a general strike & they should happen once a month. Marches & rallies should continue, but they're going to be meeting those with force & you'll probably see that on the 18th. Civil disobedience is the way to go. They can't hurt us for shutting things down, but it will hurt them.

Seriously time for General Strike.

Pls remember to stay hydrated today and take your vitamins! ✨❤️

Not everyone can attend or stand for protests, but there’s still divesting, boycotting, sharing knowledge and skills, joining the general strike, posting on social media and amplifying diverse voices. There’s still coining slogans and making signs. Sit- or lie-ins and calling in sick. And rest.

These hurtful, threatening times fill me with sadness and anger. But I will not let my anger make me cruel or unfeeling, especially towards those I hold dear. Our enemies have not earned our kindness, but nor have they earned the right to strip us of ours.

In your protest-ready bag, please don’t forget: Reusable water bottle filled with water Non-perishable snacks Weather appropriate clothing like a jacket or rain poncho Respirators or masks (KN95 or better) Know your Miranda rights and use them. If arrested, stay silent and get an attorney.

Demand UBI.

GENERAL STRIKE time !!!!!

Welp that article is going to be seared into my brain. I'm not linking to it, but I will shout again that DISABILITY IS NOT STATIC. Disabled people, like everyone else, have a range of capabilities. Just because you see someone do something you don't think they can do doesn't mean they're a fraud.
