“project 2025 wont happen” they said. this is just the beginning of the doc.

and no, this isnt “it just means a dr wont preform trans operations if theyre against it”, it also means basic healthcare. say a queer person has a broken arm, they go to the dr and the dr is anti-lgbtq, this means the dr can legally deny the individual treatment solely based on the persons identity. and they leave without a cast for their broken arm, leading it to worsen. thats just an example. this would make it legal for a dr to deny a lgbtq person treatment even if they have something deadly like cancer.

we are WATCHING project ‘25 slowly go into action. it wont all be this immediate bc the doc is 1000 years long but within a year or two if we dont fight the fuck back hardcore, the entire doc will to into place. women, girls, and afabs, poc, disabled ppl, immigrants, we need to stand the FUCK UP RIGHT NOW.

esp trans ppl and women. some of the anti-trans and anti-woman bans and laws havent fully passed yet, but at this rate, theyre close. FIGHT. BACK. NOW. there is no more fucking waiting.

insurance companies can now legally fully deny

the USA is becoming a place where only white cishet christian abled men can access basic healthcare without discrimination or fear of being denied treatment solely based on their gender, race, sexuality, etc.

Trump’s War on Science: A Betrayal of Public Health and Common Sense

You ever hear a bad idea so blindingly stupid you have to stop and wonder if it was cooked up by someone actively rooting for humanity’s downfall? Well, Donald Trump has managed to pull a double-header in that department. First, his administration is plotting to halt federal funding for gain-of-function research—critical work that helps us understand and combat the next global pandemic. Second, Trump’s team wants to muzzle the CDC, NIH, and other federal health agencies, halting their ability to communicate with the public and fund life-saving research. Folks, this is not just incompetence; it’s a slow-motion catastrophe.

Let’s start with gain-of-function research. Now, I get it—making viruses more dangerous in a lab sounds like the start of a bad sci-fi movie. But the reality is this: it’s one of the best tools we have to predict and prevent pandemics. It’s like doing a fire drill—you simulate the worst-case scenario so you’re ready when the real thing happens. But Trump and his enablers, in their infinite ignorance, want to shut it all down. Why? Because a bunch of conspiracy-loving Republicans blame it for Covid-19, even though there’s zero evidence to support that claim. None. Nada. Zilch.

Let me be clear: killing this research won’t make us safer—it’ll leave us defenseless. You think other countries will stop doing this work? Of course not. China, Russia, and others will keep pushing the envelope, while we sit here twiddling our thumbs, pretending ignorance is a shield against viruses. Spoiler alert: it’s not. Pandemics don’t care about your politics. They don’t care if you think science is scary or inconvenient. They just spread—and if we’re not ready, people die. It’s that simple.

Now, let’s move on to the second act of this disaster: silencing our top health agencies. Trump’s HHS has decided that all scientific communications must be vetted by political appointees before being released. Translation: they’re putting public health in the hands of spin doctors. This isn’t just unethical; it’s dangerous. During a bird flu outbreak, they’re delaying critical reports. Scientists can’t publish data, can’t approve grants, and can’t even speak publicly without some bureaucrat rubber-stamping it first. And all this during a time when trust in public health institutions is already hanging by a thread.

Let me spell this out: these actions are not about protecting people. They’re about control. Trump and his cronies are weaponizing ignorance, suppressing inconvenient truths, and sabotaging the very systems designed to keep us safe—all for political gain. This isn’t just bad policy; it’s an abdication of responsibility, a betrayal of trust, and a clear and present danger to every single one of us.

So, what do we do? We fight back. We demand accountability. We refuse to let science be politicized by a man whose grasp of facts is as flimsy as his hairline. This isn’t about left or right—it’s about survival. If we let this slide, if we let Trump’s war on science go unchecked, we won’t just be risking the next pandemic—we’ll be inviting it. And when it comes, the blame will lie squarely at the feet of those who chose politics over progress and willful ignorance over wisdom. Let’s make sure history remembers their names—and ours, as the ones who stood up and said, "Enough."

There are a lot of bad things about the UK, and many rich people want to tear the NHS down as they object to helping others. But the NHS is truly a jewel.

From Ruins to Renewal: A Journey of Hope and Healing!

Dear friends,

I write to you with humility, a little shy, but life’s trials compel us.

Only now can we begin to heal from the scars of war. My family and I stand amidst the ruins, longing to rebuild our lives and rise again, bringing light to a place shadowed by loss.

Two months ago, I started this campaign out of necessity—a decision I never thought I would make. I had always resisted the idea of asking for help, but life’s hardships left me with no choice. Despite our efforts, we have not yet reached our goal. With your kindness and support, we can turn this struggle into hope and rebuild what was lost. Together, we can make a difference.

It's me Mahmoud, an ER doctor who has been volunteering since the beginning of the war and continues to do so. Today, I find myself standing alone, supporting my mother, sister, and brother after losing our beloved father last March.

Please, extend your hand and be part of our journey toward hope and renewal.

Thanks to those who carry the light of kindness in their hearts, turning our struggles into hope and our despair into resilience.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Mahmoud Y. Shaheen.

opinions im willing to ‘agree to disagree’ on:

- the evil dead reboot in 2013 was really good

- messy and over the top makeup is infinitely more fun than the ‘clean girl’ aesthetic

- takis arent that great (they make my tummy hurt)

- pineapple on pizza is awesome

- jigsaw (saw 8) SUCKS ASS

opinions im not willing to ‘agree to disagree’ on:

- all human beings deserve to be treated with equal respect and empathy

- healthcare should be available for EVERYONE, and withholding it is an infringement on people’s rights

- children deserve a right to privacy

- danger days is a great album.

Reblogging this for some content I’m working on regarding Red Note, but it boils down to:

1. Americans are petty bitches

2. Our education system ineffectively teaches us stuff outside our own borders because

3. American soft power + hard power ensures we can travel the world and practically never leave our borders (not to mention our nation spans a whole continent east to west)

4. People 40 and under have watched their standard of living drop significantly over the past 30 years to the point is is obvious and recognizable (even though they did the thing they were told were going to give them a comfortable, healthy life)

5. The internet means Americans can learn about the horrors of the past and that the USA not only spies on its own people, but actively has worked to influence and manufacture consent for bad events.

6. We have been fed constant and consistent lies about other nations in order to harbinge distrust.

7. Our data, information, ssn’s and other info was not kept save in American hands, therefore the extended surveillance brought on by the patriot act is a lie

8. Thanks to luigi, Americans are aware that C-suite skinwalkers are actually very easy to kill and just as mortal as the rest of us.

It’s just 50 years of comically stupid bullshit that brought us to this point

Well, yes, it’s obvious why Rednote is a bigger threat now.

Thanks to the wonderful people who don't want our lord and savior Luigi Mangione's (ALLEGED) actions to be a one-time event scribbled in the footnotes of our grandchildren's history books, we have a current Wikipedia page listing current and former healthcare CEOs (updated 5 days ago at the time of writing).

Now I'm no proponent of violence (wink wink), but they may not even put this shit in the history books to begin with if nobody else joins in. We're essentially a crowd surrounding a dead body in the middle of the streets and we all keep shouting "SOMEONE CALL 911!" Back and forth at each other, waiting for another guy to do it... And days pass as nobody's actually started dialing yet.

Key word: yet.

I have a life. This account is run by a human on the other end of the screen. I have a job, a best friend, people I really care about, pets, a story I'm in the middle of writing. I have a million reasons not to do it that I could lean on, and so I'm sure do you.

But if nothing changes, if nobody else steps up...

Let's just say this should be an event for the history books. Hell, let's make them write a whole ass chapter.

Surprised that no one is talking about the line, "Together, we will end the chronic disease epidemic and keep our children safe, healthy, and disease-free." from the inauguration speech. On the surface, it sounds like a really good thing! Like, hey we're going to find cures and provide treatments for all these chronic illnesses that people are suffering from!

However, given who's saying it, I'm guessing it's a lot more sinister. Since funding research is expensive and Trump is greedy and also ableist, I'm guessing it's more along the lines of 'chronic illness rates will go down if we don't report them and also if everyone who has one is dead'.

In fact, he's working on this already by

Reversing previously established health care policies, like Medicaid and Medicare prescription caps

Directing health agencies to stop communicating

Those of us with disabilities and chronic illnesses are often very vulnerable financially and in other ways and can be reliant on others for our care. It is hard for us to organize or advocate for ourselves due to our health challenges and restrictions. We're largely out of society's view already.

The continued impact of COVID and the threat of potential future epidemics and pandemics, especially if they're being set up to be mismanaged by the Trump administration, is a huge threat to not only those of us who are already ill, but to everyone. Anyone can become chronically ill, even you.

Anyways, the point is, please don't forget about us. Please include us in your efforts to protect those affected by all of this.

If you, like me, have a chronic illness, disability, mental illness, neurodivergency, or are part of any other vulnerable health-related minority, don't lose hope. There's goodness in the world still and we need to be here to see it and to add to it. It's not easy and it's not going to be easy, but it's important. I love you.
