I have been so sad and discouraged. I kept thinking, “Where is the cavalry?”
Just returned from NBCC’s Summit where we were given our orders:
We ARE the cavalry!
Challenge accepted! @nbccstopbc.bsky.social
Mount up, bold ones! Our researchers can’t give up. Neither can we.

Deeply saddened that the ENTIRE TEAM at NCI PDQ Cancer Information has been eliminated.
Our evidence-based summaries were updated throughout the year with the latest research and supported informed decision making between clinicians & patients with cancer across the US. 🇺🇸

Women (and men) with Metastatic Breast Cancer can't wait... Breast Cancer advocates won't either!
1/ The U.S. House introduced H.R. 2048, the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act. This bill would improve the lives of eligible individuals with metastatic breast cancer by waiving Medicare and SSDI waiting periods. #NBCContheHill

Tell your Senators not to roll over! Tell them to stand their ground! Vote NO on the Continuing Resolution! Hard work and negotiations have already occurred throughout the year. We need the regular Appropriations Bill to PASS so it can support the DOD BCRP and other programs.
2/ The bill now heads to the Senate and its fate remains uncertain. We must keep up the pressure. Call your Senators TODAY and demand that they vote NO on the Continuing Resolution & instead pass their regular Appropriations Bill which will support the DOD BCRP and other programs

1/ Last night, the House of Representatives voted to pass a “continuing resolution” which extends government funding until September 30 but does not set appropriations (funding) levels for specific programs including the DOD Breast Cancer Research Program.

He said he agreed with much of Trump's policies, but "Putin is a liar and a murderer."
Putin authorizes the constant killing and torture of civilians, and anyone who visits Ukraine will see this.

To replace the "system" with oligarchy, they first must bring the system down. We really have to keep that front of mind.

The mayor didn't know, but pursued to discover that these unidentified white men in hoodies (providing no ID) were federal workers. Note the owner of the taco truck complies with all federal and local immigration laws. This is where we are.
