Something I said?
So weird how folks so passionate about women's access to healthcare just don't want to discuss how they were paid to Tweet about that #passion.
I'm really asking: if someone was legitimately passionate about something, why _wouldn't_ they want to discuss the institutional support behind that...? Guess I'm just wary whenever someone is reluctant to disclose/discuss the money behind the messages.

I've always been curious: like, who in the hell do American Nazis / white power idiots / whatever I'm supposed to call them think American fought in World War Two?
This one goes out to all the racist, immigrant-hating right wing dickheads out there who think my grandfathers risked their lives to defeat "socialists" in World War Two. cc: @replouiegohmert @RepMoBrooks
@replouiegohmert @RepMoBrooks Do Republicans who think Hitler was a socialist also think all ladybugs are girls?

Not a great look for Uber's chief legal officer to be trolling Lorena Gonzalez on Twitter right now either, particularly in light of the company's history. Maybe take it down about a thousand notches, tech.
Tony West being Kamala Harris' brother-in-law doesn't interest me much. Way more interested in how someone who was integral to the Obama administration's decision to stop defending DOMA came to be such an ardent defender of one of the most infamously unethical companies in tech.
Hey @Uber / @tonywest care to comment on how it's possible that "drivers’ work is outside the usual course of Uber’s business" but also that its drivers' names are closely held "trade secrets" at the same time? bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The climate town hall brings up a strange well of sadness in me. It's great it's happening but I've felt intuitively since small how crucial it is to take care of this planet. That it is, for a single moment, a matter of politics is still fundamentally odd to me.
I suppose I should consider it good Dem candidates are competing for which one would take the best care of this spectacular & irreplaceable place we all live. I should be happy this is even a thing right now. But I just feel sad. Why is stewardship of the place we live an issue.
How disappointing and predictable that women are, perhaps, going to being admitted to the true halls of power precisely at the moment the house most needs cleaning.

With all the brouhaha about how regressive that abortion ban from somewhere in the US is, you'd imagine our own laws are fab, and that Indian women can access abortion if / when they need / want to...

but not really. The MTP Act legalising abortion left control with docs. 》
》Also, the MTP Act was essentially a 1970s population control measure. So, yeah, women got some sort of right to access abortion but women's rights weren't really prioritised in the statute.

Also, the 20-week cut-off period for a legal procedure has often been a disaster. 》
》Women past the 20-week cut-off have approached courts time and time again to be able to access legal abortion with varied results. Not that many have the means to go rushing to court.

Indian abortion law needs a rehaul and just maybe we should be talking about that (too).

*Thread* Was at a husting today AND when I highlighted the actual #waitinglist statistics for access to #healthcare #consultants and lack of #frontlinestaff #nurses & #GPs a sitting MEP & member of one our main political parties aimed to DISMISS the data... 1/
The data I presented was not compiled by me but by many prestigious organisations who represent #nurses #doctors #midwives #consultants #pharmacists #paramedics #carers #physios #OTs (tag anyone you wish here) 2/
The response I (and the audience got) was along the lines of “with technology data can be wrong” and “people don’t turn up to appointments”. I had no hestitation in finding an example and explained just how bloody difficult it can be for the #elderly to attend clinics... 3/

The GOP is still determined to end access to #healthcare for millions of Americans like me with #cancer and other life-threatening #PreExistingConditions.

Trump joins #antivaxxers to attack #Obamacare thinkprogress.org/trump-anti-vax… via @thinkprogress
Also, before the #ACA (also known as #Obamacare, which is a law not insurance) became law, women paid twice as much as men for health insurance, pregnancy was a #PreExistingCondition, mammograms and PAP tests were out-of-pocket expenses and 60M Americans were uninsured.
The #ACA has expanded #Medicaid in many states, created the healthcare marketplace which shows people a range of options within their states for affordable healthcare & it has saved millions of lives.
ACA will still be law after #M4A because it's essential healthcare protection.

You know what, I'm mad, I have some European followers, y'all are about to learn why black people in the states are so fucking prickly at white people. It's going to get uncomfortable so strap the fuck in and get ready for this ride, because this is emotional labor.
So before I get into it, I'm going to give a list of Trigger Warnings.

T:W/ Rape. Death. Objectification. Ableism. Sexism. Dehumanization. The whole nine fucking yards.
Everyone knows about the transatlantic slave trade on a basic level. Some people like to excuse that black people sold out their own to chattel slavery in order to waive accountability. What white people did with the black people in their possession is on /white/ people though.

So some shit went down for me personally at the end of 2018. First, let me just say I'm old. I'm not old-old - sorry to anyone in their 80s but that's my definition of old-old these days. I am 48, so I'm Perimenopause old
so the "shit that went down" as I turned the page on 2018 is what began my #AdventuresInPerimenopause, aka the worst medical experience of my life...and I had my ankle surgically reconstructed w/no pain meds when I was 4 months pregnant
a few months before "shit went down" I had finally began to lose some of the 50lbs of extra weight that's been, well a weight, on me for a year. I was on a program, thinking about exercise - that's step 1, right? - and had safely dropped 15 lbs in 2 weeks
