INSANELY powerful speech about one of the most evil, legal industries: Big Tobacco.
This industry kills 8+ million people/year. More than HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria combined. The #1 cause of preventable death on earth.
Yet the fight against it gets just 0.1% of global health funding. 🧵
mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise.
In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival.
This is why sustained investment in science & research matters.

We should be learning from other countries...
This is a well-documented pattern in medical research and reflects systemic gender bias in pain assessment and treatment.👇
You should be, you look great.
Exactly!
Stop admiring parasites!
The ultra-rich are disgusting, wealth-hoarding parasites on society.
They are so deranged, depraved and delusional, that they think it is right for them to wallow in extreme luxury, while huge swathes of children are povertystricken and deprived of healthcare.

Very much looking forward to this
Orban’sdefeat is very, very good news for 🇺🇦 & EU!
Now, can we get rid of Rutte over at NATO? And Fico in 🇸🇰 & that craphound in 🇨🇿.
Oh, and Farage. Especially fucking Farage!
Very true...
I'll take your word for it and follow her
Essential point, and it only gets more intense with time, such that a handful are oligarchs and the rest basically hopeless.
Today I met an elderly woman who lost her husband unexpectedly, has an autistic son, no financial cushion, no life insurance. She was begging by the side of a shopping center parking lot. I gave her what I had in my wallet. What are we even doing in this country?

Good pack, thank you. I followed all.
I've reposted this before, but it is so good, it should be reposted every day.
That's really great, happy for you. I'm just an amateur guitarist, but it would really be a downer if I couldn't play.
Only if you fill it with garlic and include a wooden stake

Jeff Bezos' Washington Post editorial board endorsed Pam Bondi as a "qualified" and "serious" pick for Attorney General.
Nowhere in the endorsement did they mention that she's a former Amazon lobbyist.
Another reminder that billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy.
If I talk about an American president, and say that he is totally ignorant on all subjects save grifting, and that he's a pathological liar, a racist, a rapist and a felon,
it doesn't really matter if I redact his name.
The entire world knows exactly who I mean.
It's the same with the Epstein files
I would add that oligarchy is - by nature and necessity - authoritarian.
D.C.’s biggest bully just pulled up to the Supreme Court to try to intimidate the justices into ending birthright citizenship.
No sitting president has ever attended oral arguments — but this one thinks the Constitution is optional and that the Court must bow down to him.
As a gay man myself, let me be clear, conversion therapy is torture meant to psychologically damage and in most cases physically harm/kill LGBTQ+ people and the majority of the illegitimate Supreme Court voted against Colorado’s ban on it. Pure evil, inhumane and immoral.
When Doc puts you in her Starter Packs, it is a great honor and it implies a Humble TRUST that you will embrace these friends and do no harm. Thank You for including me in yours!
