If you had told me in Dec 2020 that I would be thankful to have had cancer in the middle of a global pandemic I would have laughed at you. Today, I am unbelievably thankful I had cancer when I did, I can’t fathom being diagnosed now.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Better screening is necessary, no one should have to deal with the experience I had, and I was militant about my screenings. It was two years of hell. Grateful to be alive, in spite of subpar care for women’s health issues.

I don’t know if this is the plan. But if it is, let me rain on that parade. Elon will never allow Democrats to win the mid-terms. If the plan is not to get him out of our govt systems now, it’s a wrap.

Nothing to see here, folks. Just would-be dictator Trump giving $800,000 to his handpicked FBI chief who has vowed to use federal power to punish Trump's enemies.

Our aid programs around the world are an important part of our soft power. Creating a vacuum in these spaces simply opens a path for our adversaries, who are already expanding influence in these regions, to step in. It is so short-sighted and dumb. And of course cruel, but that’s a given

“The State Department is blocking new passports for trans Americans” The EU needs to update its laws and open asylum pathways for trans people. Denying someone identification is state sponsored erasure and it needs to be recognised as persecution.

The United States is under attack. Elon Musk—who has been elected to nothing and is a deeply troubled person—is literally destroying our government from the inside and doing so without authority or consent of the governed. Working on a report on this right now. It’s an emergency.
