“To do nothing, to put our heads down and go back to work as if everything is normal, is to capitulate, it is to accept that our universities are forever going to be the playthings of right-wing politicians and the rich”

This is blatantly illegal and dangerous beyond belief.

Our national security is in the hands of complete amateurs.

What other highly sensitive national security conversations are happening over group chat? Any other random people accidentally added to those, too?
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

OMG. Zoom now sends you an AI generated summary of your meeting. It's pretty accurate except for one thing. It referred to me as "she" everywhere! #notmypronoun #they/them

I think @cignahealthcare.bsky.social automatically rejects every request my doctors make. Why can’t I get an arm monitor so my doctors can keep track of the secondary diabetes I now have thanks to metastatic breast cancer treatment? We need the data to make life altering decisions about my care.

Thanks to all of you who shared my posts. Cigna decided not to reject my doctor’s third request for a PET scan.

Feel free to share my posts about Cigna and Accredo because they only respond to public shaming.

Cigna forcing me to use Accredo pharmacy has lead to me being in a situation where I can’t get my chemo. And Accredo has been gaslighting me for weeks. Today I thought about quitting my treatment and just letting the cancer kill me. Because I can’t keep begging for care.

Greg Abbott is taking a break from his obsession with killing pregnant women, children and migrants and trying to kill his state’s university system instead.

Cigna is denying me a PET scan bc. they state it is not medically necessary based on their clinical guidelines. I have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer spreading throughout my bones and liver. My insurance company says I don't need the only scan that can show what's going on!

Unpopular opinion: Lainey Wilson should have won. Not Beyoncé. And yes I have listened to both albums.

What famous film haven’t you seen that everyone would think had seen? Tonight I’m watching Sister Act. How was it that I never watched it? 🤷‍♂️

I’ve been away from home for a month and coming back is weird because I still have my Christmas lights up. I just received lots of Christmas cards. I’m watching the Doctor Who xmas episode. It’s like time travel for me!

Also: love Ncuti Gatwa.

I’m going to start using this app more now that Fb decided my profile would follow Vance. How the hell did that happen? I had to unfollow someone I never followed? Not to mention someone I detest.
