<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>

    Must be another product she hawks but doesn&#39;t consume, because Kirk Hot Sauce wouldn&#39;t give you tears. In all seriousness, the Nazi hot sauce ingredient list contains zero (0) peppers of any kind.

    Yesterday I saw a goofy internet question that asked whether, for something like $4 million, you would be willing to be an air fryer for three months (It would feel good to fry the food) or whether you would subject your best friend to being a random kitchen appliance for the same sum. And I&#39;m like duuude turn me into an air fryer for free. I would gladly just serve up food and not have to think about fascism for a few months.

    #Denver #Colorado protestors did not let the country down outside the &quot;What&#39;s Next&quot; billionaire-backed Dem conference yesterday. These photos are from @rosetinted.vision on Ig and Sunrise Movement, a youth org. #Democrats

    People on other platforms are joking that Sen Hyde-Smith got to &quot;pick a different protein&quot; by eating crow. But this works at least as well. The cartoonist says &quot;How do you eat an elephant? One bite (and vote) at a time.&quot; #Mississippi

    I have no trouble believing this as the explanation for what happened yesterday. But this would have been so unthinkable 10 or even 5 years ago, I frankly don&#39;t blame the people who are wondering if there&#39;s an even weirder, conspiracy-related reason. There is no bottom with the mutiny of preverts.

    So much ink spilled about how wrong the white pollsters and pundits were and how could this possibly happen... IDK, I&#39;m Jane Q Rando and I called it with no (relevant) professional expertise. All it took was the courage to think straight and cover the protest movement. Instead they hung out in the Nazi bar and read other corporate sellouts&#39; bullcrap and yeah that makes it hard to understand reality in the streets. It&#39;s like going to a football game and spending the whole time in t...

    I&#39;m thinking back to 2022 when Leon thought buying Twitter would buy him everyone&#39;s minds. Instead, there are already a bunch of articles about how badly ultra MAGAs and a bunch of cowardly journalists missed the boat because they contracted brainworms from hanging out in the Nazi bar. Fascists never engage in self reflection anyway, and now they have a rancid Nazi bar that will further isolate them from reality. At this point they&#39;re still talking... https://www.independent.co.uk...

    RE: https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:movn6xzezospl7lnkhy7nzpt/post/3n2ac3smxz22g I&#39;ve been called a &quot;Marxist&quot; by quite a few RWNJ&#39;s and ICE agents over the last two years. The spirit of Marx certainly lives... rent free in their otherwise empty heads. 😂

    #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...

    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...
