🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Thinking about the possibility of Zionists agreeing to, or keeping any ceasefire/peace agreement is as depressing as thinking a Chief Justice will refuse to uphold swearing in someone disqualified by 14th amendment section 3.

The future is not what it used to be. The expectations of many will disappear. How will the
β€˜poorly educated’, the poorly prepared, and the selfish react to materialised reality?

Living with ME Nine people with ME reveal their unremitting struggles as they negotiate life with their illness, including their battles to be believed, diagnosed and supported.

My first post here, so I thought I'd make it about 2 things that have shaped my life #MECFS & #photography. For the past 3 years I've been photographing other people who also have ME, & I was delighted when @wellcomecollection.bsky.social published a selection

For everyone with #ME however mild or severe, for those that have died and those who care for people with ME. Also for the scientists who are working to solve the puzzle of the illness and the medical staff who care about us.

To 2025 πŸ™ Happy New Year.

Didn’t want to neglect serendipity. What if we are looking for something which is broken and it’s not broken but working better than it should?

When focussing on the jigsaw pieces, perhaps it helps to keep in mind the big picture.

Is focussing on everything the same as not focussing on anything? What to focus on and why a necessary step to progress. (IMHO)
