<p>The Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/cancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cancer</span></a> research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BigPharma" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BigPharma</span></a> got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts.</p><p>&quot;Mary Austin&quot; is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I&#39;m &quot;Mary.&quot; 🤷‍♀️</p>

    #Democrats are having a billionaire-organized convention in #Denver #Colorado this weekend to discuss the future of the party. Yesterday bridge trolls welcomed Democrats to Denver with a banner that said &quot;WELCOME DEMS - WE&#39;RE WATCHING&quot; and one that said &quot;NO SCHUMER CORONATION.&quot; This was going on a few hours ago. Of course there&#39;s a lot of security around the convention, but there are also a lot of protestors out there already. #NoKings #50501movement

    Not that this is the main point, but for a hot second I didn&#39;t see the little chihuahua head poking out of that bag and I was like, &quot;Why on earth are they smiling so much over a bag?&quot; Anyway, there you have it: we need leaders who GAF about people with #disability and don&#39;t shoot their #dogs. The bar is in hell but by God we will raise it to purgatory for the next two years. As the song goes, you gotta go through hell before you get to Heaven. #healthcare #SocialSecurity #C...

    Prosecutor races have a huge impact on needed criminal justice reform, on eliminating systemic racism. #NorthCarolina just struck a real blow here. https://boltsmag.org/north-carolina-forsyth-county-prosecutor-oneill-loses/ #racism #BlackLivesMatter #CriminalJustice

    RE: https://social.vivaldi.net/@jon/117608716482105437 The oil industry locked in so hard on greed they&#39;re creating demand destruction and Big Tech really said &quot;Hold my beer.&quot; 🍺

    I was just on another resister organizing call and there was such joy when I told the group that Ayanna Pressley seems to be considering a leadership challenge. We&#39;ve been busting our butts. We need leaders who will defund the monsters in ICE who are hoping to kill us along with our immigrant neighbors.

    As I&#39;ve been saying this whole time, there&#39;s no daylight between the Nazis and the Vichy collaborators. There wasn&#39;t last time and there&#39;s no difference now. Nazi billionaires are openly pivoting to bribing Vichy Dems. The Nazis already tried to present their thousand year Reich as inevitable and we told them to get bent. We&#39;re not obeying in advance for the Vichy squishes after all that. #house #Senate #HakeemJeffries #Schumer

    Chris Van Hollen is formally challenging #Schumer now! LET&#39;S FUCKIN GO! Our calls clearly matter. Keep it up with the Senate and don&#39;t forget to call your reps to ask them to support Ayanna Pressley for Speaker. She seems to be feeling out a leadership challenge too and she would really take the fight to Gym Jordan. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/11/12/congress/chris-van-hollen-senate-majority-leader-01164433 https://act.ayannapressley.com/sign/soc-pressley-agenda/ #Hake...

    #Hegseth is a vindictive POS who also never washes his hands. My conspiracy theory here is he wanted to award the medal to force the poor soldier into a dookie handshake. https://www.cnn.com/2026/11/12/politics/hegseth-awards-medal-soldier-reprimanded-him

    @Darkphoenix@universeodon.com I&#39;m for rebuilding the East Wing and the actual Rose Garden, but as long as they&#39;re sealed off like some pharaoh&#39;s tomb curse I&#39;m good.

    Protestors from Climate Defiance disrupted a Congressional briefing on BAAJA, the bill that Republicans and some Dems are using to destroy environment protection and force data centers down our throats. When calling and writing and interacting normally with our representatives only gets ignored, I really think this is warranted. If they won&#39;t listen they need to hear the message louder. https://www.instagram.com/reels/Dfn34uqAGlc/

    Leadership update: Ayanna Pressley seems to be testing the waters for a leadership challenge. I&#39;m for anybody who isn&#39;t actively selling us out to the tech fascists we just overcame to have the election. https://act.ayannapressley.com/sign/soc-pressley-agenda/ #HakeemJeffries

    There aren&#39;t many ball washers left pretending we can trust Hakeem Jeffries, that all his obvious failures are just Extra Special Smart Politics. But I&#39;d like to see if I can sell these people a bridge. Exhibit A: #HakeemJeffries #Hegseth
