I lost my mother unexpectedly in 2021 after 2 months following an aneurysm. Those 2 month's of 24/7 care/contact are a gift to my mother and myself. I'm definitely still grieving. In the final review it was a gift we gave to each other.

People have used this rhetoric against opioids.
It's bad because it reenforces prohibitions and prohibitions are coercion and oppression.
Remember: Rich people use drugs. Typically they use *more drugs* than poor people because they have more money.
do you ever think that anti-depressants are a band-aid solution because the roots of your depression come from structural inequalities and if the system was wiped out and replaced with something sustainable you’d actually feel better…..

🚨Think progress is irreversible?🚨 Think again. Here's a glimpse of women in Iran during the 1970s — a stark reminder that rights can be won, but they can also be lost. Stand up, speak out, and protect what matters before it's too late! #WomenOfIran #IranianRevolution #FreedomForWomen #WomenUnderOppression

Those opposing Kennedy absolutely outnumber His supporters. There is so much fear now however that if Trump wants something the underlings had better get on board or become his next target. God help those who are fighting the good fight. #dotherightthing

Please explain to me why as a practicing physician, I cannot accept so much as a pen from a pharmaceutical COMPANY out of concern that it might adulterate or influence my decision-making, and yet politicians can take millions in campaign contributions from the same COMPANIES and we are to have no concern about adulterating influence of those contributions??

0 donations from pharma CEOs.
0 donations from Wall St. CEOs.
0 donations from oil company CEOs.
8 million from working people giving $27 at a time.
I am very proud of that fact.

“Know that when they complain…it’s because their pain level is probably through the roof. Most people (inc. myself), won’t complain about how tired we are or how much #pain we’re in until it’s more than our threshold.” buff.ly/4hbMJ38 #ChronicPain #ChronicIllness

When people become sick, any promise of a cure is beguiling.
Common sense and the demand for evidence are easily supplanted by false hope.
In this vulnerable state, the need for critical appraisal of treatment options is more—rather than less—necessary.

I just tweeted about this, I definitely have felt personally victimized by this and in periods of desperation spent thousands on stuff like this, which in hindsight is infuriating.
