With clear evidence of a genetic predisposition linked to relevant biological pathways, these findings need to mark a turning point away from medicine's historic failure to correctly research this disease and meet its duty of patient care.

Unbelievable.
Except it's not, though, is it?
In fact, it happens all the fucking time.
Zionists don't like it when you mention the fact Israel is committing genocide in Palestine, and everyone's petrified of upsetting them.

Solidarity, Peter

One of the main goals of fascism is to distract, overwhelm & exhaust you to the point you're confused & eventually give up.
Pace yourself. Take care of your health, your family & your community - individuals you know have your back and vice versa.
This is going to be a long, long, uphill walk.

Good news: Twitter is collapsing.
And this chart doesn't even show the last two weeks—which have seen the largest exodus in site history.
There are reports from Newsweek and others that Twitter may merge with Truth Social.
If that happens, the last collapse of Twitter may happen almost overnight.
