One week ago, on my birthday I gave birth to the most beautiful gift. Yet, this post isn’t anything like I thought it would be. With all the tools I have at my disposal I find myself initiated into a club nobody wishes to be a part of. The thousands experiencing birth trauma 1/5

The senselessness of doing this as an 'experiment'. All humans float. Racism has you trying to prove eugenics wrong (ding dong eugenics is false). Put money into safe patient swimming classes for Black kids and adults.
Scientists in the UK poured cold water on a long-standing myth that people of African, Caribbean and Asian heritage cannot float because of ‘heavy bones’

Every hospital in England has been urged to disobey an NHS directive to use software operated by US analytics software company Palantir. A coalition of human rights, health and patient organisations, and unions sent out the plea to NHS trusts by email bmj.com/content/392/bmj.s481…

BREAKING: A whistleblower says women at an ICE detention center were forced to wear diapers, denied basic sanitation, and packed onto floors “like goats in a cage.” People lying in urine and feces. No menstrual supplies. Boxes filled with used diapers. He reported it — and was fired. This happened in Baltimore.
ICE forces women detainees to wear diapers—compare them to "goats locked in a cage." 'I saw people lying in feces, throwing up, and sleeping in urine," said whistleblower. Overcrowded on the floor like "pictures that I saw in school of how they brought slaves over from Africa." "We didn't always have sanitary stuff for them if they were having their cycle. They were given diapers." "And because you can't put the diapers in the toilet, and the rooms didn't have trash cans. So some of us would give them boxes. And they would fill up with these diapers." Days after reporting the conditions to his supervisor—he was fired for not being a "good fit." The abuse occurred at the ICE detention facility in Baltimore, Maryland.

This is such a car crash. She says ‘it’s unproven’ then goes on the discuss it as fact. She’s put multiple groups together. Why shouldn’t a migrant nurse send money back to her children in a different country? They can’t come here with her so, should she leave them to starve?
🚨REVEALED: MIGRANTS ARE SENDING £24.5 BILLION HOME FROM UK EACH YEAR They're literally robbing us blind Taking benefits from the UK and shipping them back home Stop the remittances Deport them all

Meanwhile we have British citizens sitting in several other countries practising tax avoidance. This needs to be reviewed by @Ofcom . Just opinions and conjecture dressed up as news

"Facebook had to borrow $100 billion the other day in order to finance the investment in data centres. And what they’ve tried to do is shift that off balance sheet, so that we don’t see that […] they’ve now run out of cash and they’re borrowing money. And that’s a sure sign that Facebook has over reached itself." @AyoCaesar talks to economist Ann Pettifor, who predicted the 2008 financial crisis, the AI bubble.

So these day I’m posting most of my thoughts on my substack - Healthy Futures. Here’s my latest on the reproductive coercion already experienced by the people of Greenland and how Trump’s plans may lead to further reproductive oppression. substack.com/@annabelsowemim…

there is no use for this technology other than creating fake evidence for the police to use to justify locking up anyone they want. a recipe for the ultimate police state.

for those out of the loop, this woman won the nobel prize, dedicated it to trump in hopes he would put her in leadership after invading venezuela, he said “thanks lol” and then completely passed over her, and now she’s offering to *give* him her prize. it’s getting weird!
Hannity: Did you at any point offered to give him the Nobel peace prize? Machado: It hasn’t happened yet. We want to give it to him. Share it with him.

Rest in peace to Dr Aggrey Burke, the NHS’ first Black consultant psychiatrist.  Here's a very good piece from 2022 which maps out his life and formidable career. A truly significant figure in Black British history who deserves continued recognition. theguardian.com/society/2022…

I cannot believe we are in the crazy situation where patients can't see a GP because there aren't enough doctors... But there are UNEMPLOYED GPs sitting at home because GP surgeries aren't given enough funding to hire them! Somebody make it make sense!!! – at Formby, England
Practices are telling us they need more GPs but lack the funding to employ them. Thank you to the more than 8,000 GPs and GP Registrars who signed our letter to the Health Secretary urging him to make the 10-Year Workforce Plan a genuine roadmap to train, recruit and retain more doctors and restore patient safety.
