Yesterday upwards of 300 million people across India held a national strike.

Numerous unions and farmers' groups flooded the streets, shutting down large segments of the economy.

One of the key demands was a withdrawal from the trade deal struck with the Trump administration.

The last thing anyone diagnosed with a potentially terminal cancer should have to worry is how they’re going to pay for treatment. I’m lucky. I’ve been on Medicare since I became disabled in 2009. Estimated costs for my Whipple on Tuesday. Doesn’t include the 7-14 days inpatient after.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Outrageous and unacceptable. They’ve completely perverted the DOJ. There is no justice to be had right now.
You should read this. It is the type of detail that experts in authoritarian regimes see as telling.
In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability.

My friend found these #crochet patterns the other day. They’re life sized. I wish I’d known about them when I was taking A & P last year.

I’m making a set of GI organs for the hepatopancreaticobiliary surgeon who’s about to save my life in a little over a week.

Why is the president even commenting on this case? Why is the press asking him about it? Are we about to see a Trump Infallibility and Omniscience executive order proclaimed?

I have no idea why anyone would be shocked by what he posted. The man is and has always been a vile racist POS.
Trump’s racist video is by far the most widely denounced thing he’s done since January 6

I’m just going to preemptively state that if I ever post a video that contains patently offensive and disgusting content it was because I didn’t see it.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
