<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>

    I&#39;m seeing stories of well off Trumpers who moved from blue states to places like Texas or Georgia because their neighbors hated them being fascist. And now, tragedy of tragedies, the South is turning blue. It&#39;s reminding me of old school flea dip on a dog: you gotta get every single square inch or all the fleas will hide in the part you didn&#39;t treat. On that note, we can&#39;t just let all the fleas go to #Florida. The blue voters there don&#39;t deserve it. Hell, the manatees do...

    Obviously this is a mix of bullcrap framing and gaslighting-- we know what we saw-- but it&#39;s beautiful to see that #Trump is having to walk back the Nazi slogans they put on the DHS social media account last year. And of course Trump and Vance are signaling they&#39;ll put all the blame on the peons in #ICE for the atrocities. We knew this would happen. ICE agents are the country&#39;s dumbest bricks and didn&#39;t see it. Now they do! I assure you from observation they do. https://www.w...

    Hegseth and Miller and Co. are low hanging fruit. I said we&#39;d win big and there would be a lot of Republican defections. These fleeing rats may not be willing to vote to impeach Trump but going after Cabinet members is easy. And these people want &quot;revenge&quot; for the election losses they themselves helped cause. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/pete-hegseth-impeachment-congress-iran-midterms-b3081797.html #GOP #Republicans #Hegseth

    There was a huge #NoKings march Saturday in #Chicago to celebrate the win and hold newly elected members of Congress to account for their part of the job. We organized ourselves with no leadership, with media and social media billionaires against us. We confronted ICE and formed mutual aid networks for a general strikes. We voted in numbers too big to rig and overcame horrific, illegal gerrymandering and voter suppression. We&#39;ll be damned if we let sell outs pour all that down the drain.

    The sex offenders of the Republican party are too broke to do another January 6 and the grifter class wants to manufacture respectability out of that. Good luck, guys!

    OMG yes please Vance run for President! Or listen to your &quot;friends&quot; and run for Senate or Governor in Ohio! Ohio wants another shot at telling you to fuck off and so do we all. https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/vances-allies-float-return-ohio-144037707.html #Ohio #JDVance

    On any given day it&#39;s damn hard to crown one story line the most bizarre but I&#39;m handing it to this: the Evangelical creator of Veggie Tales said God is not limited by human biology, i.e. doesn&#39;t have a penis. And MAGAs want to eat him alive. #MAGA #gender

    Second shift on ICE watch post election was dead as a doornail. It was dead as MAGA! And what little activity we saw was pathetic fear... of cat ladies with phones. While this was always the case, it&#39;s ramped up a lot. They are going to extraordinary lengths to hide their faces and their license plates but obviously that doesn&#39;t stop data breaches. These people are a special kind of stupid and evil.

    This is pretty much how #ICE is behaving where I am, too. Fresno resisters caught three masked, hooded ICE Nazis trying to sneak into the building undetected. Resisters had flashlights and cameras. This guy was shining a bright light back to try to make sure the cameras don&#39;t catch what part of his face was revealed. But they did catch it. The writing&#39;s on the wall. #FuckICE #ICEout

    There is now a website tracking which senators and representatives have made the commitment to new leadership, who&#39;s making vague noises and who&#39;s silent hoping we won&#39;t notice. We just 86&#39;d fascism with guns in our faces and they think we won&#39;t 86 them if they fuck around? https://the-record-congress.vercel.app/ #Senate #House #ChuckSchumer #HakeemJeffires

    #Minneapolis resisters marched yesterday, saying they were there to celebrate the wins of the Midterm Election, to send a message that they expect winners of elections to keep promises, and to keep a weather eye on any attempts to sabotage the transfer of power. #50501movement #midterms

    Republicans already learned this the hard way. Democrats in office can learn the hard or the easy way. We already proved we&#39;re motivated to choose fighters in primaries and win without the support of the corrupt leadership.

    When you&#39;re in a hole, you should stop digging. But the Guardians of Pedophiles Party doesn&#39;t learn and doesn&#39;t do consent. They aren&#39;t giving up. Neither are we, though. No matter how much some of our leaders want to capitulate, even though we put the wind at their backs, the people won&#39;t stop. Protests are ongoing nationwide and we&#39;re still fighting against ICE taking our neighbors. https://www.cleveland.com/open/2026/11/ohio-democrats-brace-for-gop-push-to-curb-amy-...

    A couple of anti-trans ballot measures passed in Colorado, but these can be easily undone because Dems have a trifecta with a supermajority. To keep up the pressure on them to act, there was a big trans rights rally in Denver yesterday. #trans #LGBT #Colorado #50501movement

    Rob Sneed at Memphis&#39; FOX13 is a Black reporter who asked Marsha Blackburn what she was going to do for Black communities. When he didn&#39;t accept a non-answer and pressed her, he was let go the next day. I hope he can land at an outlet that actually values his courage. Somebody posted his FB message here: https://www.reddit.com/r/memphis/comments/1xpjj0q/fox_13_reporteranchor_rob_sneed_has_been_released/ #Tennessee #media #racism

    Because I&#39;m from a red state and still have a red state area code, I&#39;m still getting panicky texts from the Republicans. I don&#39;t stop them because it&#39;s hilarious.
