This is seriously important. We might be able to unpick the HIV virus from cells. This will do more to change lives than any fuckwit political posturing. Politics is mostly self-indulgence now, but proper science still delivers.

As always. There's an amazing treatment that is curing lupus. It will only be available to certain ppl once it's out of testing phase

I get that, but science can't fix politics. Once their work exists, it's down to us to radicalise and ensure social benefits are shared fairly throughout society. It's tough, but it's the only way that happens.

Radicalize to do what? - wreck capitalism. That’s the problem. Not too many want an actual solution. People just keep doing the same shit over and over for the rich.

Most people seek an acceptable balance of risk/comfort. I get that. But my own balance, not theirs, defines me, my ideas, and what I choose. It's not an easy solution but that's what radicalisation is about for me: advocating change until others agree and unite to create change.

My issue is the problem at the heart of this. Money.

It’s capitalism vs anti capitalism no matter how we frame this, and capitalism is pounding tf outta the anti capitalists daily, and I’m wondering when are people gonna wake up?

Yeah. I live in Texas. Abortions are illegal here.

Never thought Democrats would let evangelicals own our Supreme Court.. apparently they care more about fundraising than policy.
