Thanks Stephen!

Rolling back opioid prescribing restrictions is necessary. Cutting people with chronic pain off from their meds has pushed them to the street supply, where overdose risk is far greater. This was bad policy from the start. It’s okay to admit a mistake has been made. #CPP

This is so correct!

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

It’s been a tough week for my health. Hormone ups & downs have thrown my #migraine #pain into chaos. & the weather is wreaking havoc on my #fatigue. I did manage a short hike with Whiskey on Friday. Huge shifts in barometric pressure start tomorrow am & continue Wednesday. Fingers and paws crossed.

I’m glad she’s speaking out, but where’s the empathy? Reminds me of people who are now in pain and can’t get pain meds, but didn’t care about others in pain. Can we only care about others after we are actually in their shoes? This is part of the problem with America today.

How’s this for a feed cleanse? Two bald eaglets hatched last night & they’re pretty darn cute! Last year this eagle couple were disappointed when their eggs didn’t hatch, so this is great news.

Great time to read up on history, even recent history. I highly recommend this book - it’s a great and quick read-and it’s a little look behind the scenes at CDC. #DontPunishPain #PatientsNotAddicts #GivePainAVoice #EndTheWarOnPainPatients #EndTheWarOnDrugs #StopDEAandDOJJailingGoodDoctors

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Yes!

If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.

A reminder that Elon Musk's corporations were promised $3 billion across nearly 100 different contracts last year with 17 federal agencies. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.

This is great - one thing we can all do is vote with our wallets. Being disabled and at home all the time, it took me a while to stop buying from Amazon, but I’m totally there….

Further cutting the minuscule amount of benefits for disabled people and children should be a crime.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

Hey Canadians - where can I buy my “Canada isn’t for Sale” hat that is made by and benefits a Canadian company? I’m seeing a company named Toronto Embroidery - good choice? Thanks. 🇨🇦🇨🇦

First they took our pain meds. Then they took our reproductive health care.Then they came for all controlled medication. Now they’re coming for all medicine and treatments for chronic illness, because we’re “over-relient” on them. I f’in told everyone for ten years this was coming, but no one cared.

Feed cleanse! Whiskey is slowly waking up and giving me that look - we better go on a hike today lady! Or at least get out of bed? Woke with extreme pain today, so we’ll see….

Brilliant post and the comments are great too….

hakeem jeffries' wife packing up to go stay at her parents because she asked him to wash the dishes and he stood in front of the sink throwing his hands in the air and saying "what can i do, the water isn't even on"

Feed cleanse! I’m doing some serious purging of “my stuff” and found all kind of fabulous sentimental stuff. I’m not dying yet that I know of, but Swedish death cleaning is the bomb.

Good point!

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich. How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?
