tfw you're off Twitter all day writing about the latest horror Trump has perpetrated against vulnerable communities, you see #SusanSarandon trending and all you can think is this:

Susan Sarandon: Trump Might Be Better for America Than Hillary Clinton
thedailybeast.com/susan-sarandon…
LOL that the reason Sarandon is trending is for attacking Liz Warren.
Powerful actress, but she sure does like to be on the wrong side of history....
thedailybeast.com/susan-sarandon…
And please don't @ me about Sarandon. I am well aware she isn't a sole reason why Trump is president. But folks with national platforms have options in how they use them. Folks who voted Trump/Trump proxy voted against my family, my neighborhood, my city. I'm not okay with that.

🧵Sorry, this is wrong. Trump did a lot of terrible things and just because they didn't affect you doesn't mean they didn't happen. Trump banned Muslims; created massive anti-LGBTQ policies under the HHS, HUD, Dept. of Ed; rolled back 149 safety regulations on air, food, water.
🧵Trump completely eviscerated the State Dept and allowed Mike Pompeo to turn USAID into an evangelical hub for anti-woman and anti-LGBTQ networking for rogue nations as I reported for 2yrs and the US paid for it. Trump also basically ended the civil rights end of the DOJ.

🧵Prior to the pandemic Trump eviscerated the US pandemic preparedness protocols so that when COVID hit there was no PPE stored for emergency use and HCWs were using trash bags and the same masks. 3/

Ryan Wesley Routh, the alleged shooter in today's incident against Trump, is a 60 year old white man with a history of mental illness. He appears to have voted for Trump in 2016 and his Facebook page has COVID conspiracies on it. He is not an immigrant nor is he Haitian.
A Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel sticking out of fence and “engaged” with the suspect, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said at a news conference late Sunday afternoon. The suspect fled in a car and was taken into custody after being stopped on the highway.
The gunman was 300 to 500 yards away from Trump, a Secret Service official said. Law enforcement found an AK-47 style rifle, GoPro and backpacks where the suspect was positioned, Bradshaw said.

When I tell you to try not to get #cancer, that's not a glib statement. There are things you can do to protect yourself from killer cancers which are dramatically on the rise among people <50, especially Black men and white women. Wear sunscreen irrespective of race.
🧵2/
Stop smoking. Just stop. It causes so many different cancers, it's just not worth it.
Limit your alcohol consumption. Esophageal cancer is on the rise among <50 and it is a direct result of alcohol and smoking.
🧵3/
Maintain your weight. I know this is controversial but more weight in women and those AFAB adds estrogen which we now know is a #cancer feeder and implicated in breast cancer and endometrial and ovarian cancers.

🧵1/It's astonishing how many people want to scold sick people and those with #cancer. It always makes me wonder what they think the future holds for them and those they love. The struggle to survive a catastrophic illness is in itself life-altering. Be supportive. Period.
🧵2/
It shouldn't be hard to do this and yet it seems to be. We got meaner and less empathetic during the pandemic when we should have gotten more compassionate. No doubt there will be studies in the coming years on this and on resiliency. But for now we all should do better.
🧵3/
The POV that very sick people somehow made themselves that way has always been an element of the whole American individualism concept/theorem (or fantasy). But it's very damaging and toxic. Resist thinking sick people are somehow weak and less valuable. That's harmful.

Pretty angry about my #cancer and that cancer numbers are going up, in all age groups, and all we are talking about is immigration, which is a GOP canard and impacts very few Americans in reality, while nearly half of us will get cancer and a third of those die.
🧵2/
What are we doing for #cancer and for people with cancer? Where is the testing? There are tests for like 5 cancers and the rest--including 10 of the next most common-- you are on your own, hoping you have symptoms before stage 4. That's lunacy. Where's the research?
🧵3/
I have been reporting on #cancer since my 20s when I got breast cancer at 26 and a recurrence at 28. The incidence of #breastcancer is exactly the same now as it was when I was 26. How? Why? Now I have a different cancer, for which there is no testing.

Some thoughts on how to treat friends, family and patients who are battling serious illness, like I am.

When you take away the personal agency and autonomy of sick people you may have the best of intentions, but you are actually causing harm.
🧵2/
Never ever make decisions for someone else's life without their permission. It doesn't matter that you "know" it is what they need and/or want or so you think and you also think they are 'just afraid to ask." They aren't. They just want to make their own choices.
🧵3/
You may think someone just doesn't know how to ask for something, but in point of fact, a lot of us are just trying to figure out what we want and need and how we should handle things. It takes time. And thought. And energy. Sometimes we're just sitting with our diagnoses.
