New #radiotherapy innovations are being stifled by the tortuous commissioning process. Patients deserve better! #radonc #oncology #medtwitter Postcode lottery for new cancer treatments, doctors warn - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Unless GB News becomes as successful as Fox News (and BBC/ITV/Channel 4 disappear), #Reform UK will never break the 40% ceiling and will never govern. #Populism absolutely relies on lies and disinformation. The appalling and woeful US media allowed it, but the British media won’t

Come on @ASCO, it’s time to speak out and condemn what is happening at the #CDC and department of health and human services under RFK Jr. It’s not just US public health & scientific research at risk here - there are global consequences & implications. #medtwitter #medonc #radonc #ASCO

We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

Is the faculty going to condemn what is going on in the US #CDC under RFK Jr leadership? This is a public health emergency and you should be speaking out @fphuk.bsky.social

I’m British, but the US mid-term elections will be the most consequential in my lifetime. If #Trump consolidates power then a US authoritarian autocracy is nailed on. A disaster for the US and the entire world.

My latest: Trump’s Terrible Tariffs Trump’s tariffs not only hurt American consumers but also do long-term damage to American national security interests. open.substack.com/pub/michaelm...

Why has #Elon #Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars to try and deport himself?

Did Musk not realize he was just paying to keep Trump out of prison?

This is extraordinarily corrupt. But I still think he’s far more malevolent and sociopathic than merely corrupt.

The other 6 #G7 leaders should demand that #Trump publicly apologizes for his mistake on blaming @JustinTrudeau for Russia’s expulsion from the #G8. Stephen Harper was the Prime Minister at the time. Trump is a dangerous Russian asset

If someone tells you this charade was to celebrate the military show them this photo. Who and what do you see at the center. This propaganda shot cost millions of dollars to produce. Every element is intentional.

The #Trump #Musk feud has sparked innumerable PhD opportunities in the study of narcissistic personality disorder

The #Musk #Trump feud has cheered me up no end! Long may it last!!

@uksabr.bsky.social is coming to Newcastle! Save the dates: Annual Professional Conference and pre-conference lung workshop. Wed 19, Thurs 20 & Fri 21 Nov. More details bit.ly/3Zh2YVj - there is no other event like it. @gerryhanna.bsky.social @drpeedell.bsky.social @marina-khan.bsky.social

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

Meet the Pentagon’s new press secretary

❗️BTOG / NLCA ‘State of the Nation’ webinar on 15th May❗️ The National Lung Cancer Audit has been instrumental in improvement of lung cancer outcomes in UK Come and hear about our successes and challenges. Neal Navani always gives a beautifully clear and concise talk. 👍

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

So Navarro here is expressly admitting that it was Trump’s tariffs that caused the economy to contract in the first quarter of 2025.

No country in the world will take the US seriously as long as a completely ignorant liar is president.

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

The continued blindness of most of the US population to #Trump’s election denial and insurrection is something that historians will find hard to find answers to. It’s absolute lunacy that this man was allowed to stand again for the highest office of the land. I remain gobsmacked

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

The United States is a pariah state under #Trump & #MAGA

I gift this NYT piece by David French, so that all can read. “Millions of Americans are desperate for a quick and effective response to Trump’s attacks on the Constitution. But the election foreclosed that possibility. The courts — even if they have the courage — lack the power to save America.

US campaign entices Canada tourists: “Come visit America and also maybe El Salvador!”

The fear among academics and lawyers now talking on the record on just about any topic that involves the federal government or the White House is really extraordinary and worrisome, and getting worse, it seems to me, every week. Dissent by an establishment figures becoming verboten in the US

BREAKING: the heroes at Susman Godfrey sue the Trump administration over the illegal retaliation against them They have more integrity in their pinky finger than these other firms that have been capitulating have in their entire partnerships And kudos to the team at Munger for representing them

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

Biggest mistakes I'm seeing in early reporting (thread): 1. Tariffmageddon isn't over: Lotsa tariffs to account for, but the average tariff rate is only down around one quarter. So most of the pain of Liberation Day is still with us.

Down 15% because the administration is very stupid

I don’t even know what to say here. We’re talking about a generational posting crashout. Lmfao NOW you’re concerned about conflicts of interest.

NEW: There's no reason to act like Trump is pursuing a trade policy or an industrial revitalization strategy. These are just sanctions, imposed to intimidate countries and companies into submission like they're universities or law firms. They're what a mob boss would do. prospect.org/economy/2025...

Measles and tariffs, what century is this?

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

Whilst #Trump is President and #MAGA #GOP in Government, I will never attend any #Oncology conferences in the United States. I hope fellow European cancer specialists will back ESMO and ESTRO over #ASCO and #ASTRO. Together, Europe can be bigger & better than the US

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

So good. 🤡 @brendanvduke.bsky.social

Goldman devotes a report to foreign boycotts of US goods. 🇺🇸 “.. this headwind provides an additional reason why US GDP growth will likely underperform consensus expectations in 2025. “.. Foreign Sentiment Towards the US Has Declined Sharply”

Ridiculous sections by NHSE and DH to cut AI funding for radiotherapy. It’s so stupid that I’m not actually that worried, because I’m certain it will be overturned www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

@nedprice.bsky.social: "The irony of this is that Jeffrey Goldberg probably did more than all of these supposed custodians of our national security combined to protect our national security by reporting on this. If this gets them to stop this practice, that is to our collective national benefit."

It’s not difficult to understand how serious this is. All you have to do is imagine that you are the enemy that is being targeted, and you have received this information. #Hesgeth #Signal

Surprising to hear that a government formed exclusively of a country’s most stupid people isn’t really working out.
