For context Chalder was one of the primary investigators on the infamous PACE graded exercise therapy trial.

She spent her career focusing on psychosocial factors with #MECFS and believes you can treat it with CBT.

She now has a study on #LongCovid showing up on Visible.
1️⃣ Visible Health has launched a local clinical trial feature. One of the first surfacing to users is an ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) trial led by Trudie Chalder, a researcher whose work has been highly controversial in ME. This raises important patient-safety concerns.

We are not at war with Venezuela.

We have no proof these men were “narcoterrorists”.

We don’t even know if there were drugs on board.

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.

The only reason Olivia Nuzzi is of any actual interest is that she should face absolute rejection for her active complicity in helping RFK Jr, given that he is deranged, and has landed in the most dangerous role he could possibly have, and children are dying because of it, and will continue to die.
There is blood on the hands of Donald Trump, RFK, and every Republican who has allowed this sham to go on for far too long. When kids die unnecessarily and once-eradicated diseases darken the doors of terrified families and pediatricians, Americans will know who is responsible.

The press *wants* this to be a sex scandal so that they can focus on the designated "wh*re", Olivia Nuzzi, as the villain.

It's not a sex scandal and Olivia Nuzzi is not the real villain. The scandal is that the culture of US journalism is corrupt to the core and this is just one example of it.
No one is sneering at Kennedy’s sexual behavior. We all just assume that’s a thing men get to do! but when women do it, they are just the most evil bitches in the world who are ruining the workplace - nay, the entire country

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies.

This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week.

This is almost everything the government is doing.

Interesting. Even though Behn lost yesterday in Tennessee, she saw a huge swing blue in that district, losing by far less than you'd expect for a +22 Trump area. Any Republican in a less than +15 point district should be very nervous about keeping their job. Voting for ACA extention would help.

That makes 214.
