They’re just pictures but one of these guys looks like he could actually run the FBI. You look at him, you could imagine that. The other one? 🤪🙄😐

I’ll say it again, esp for my journo friends: Untreated pain is the most underreported story of this century. A backlash going on 15 years against opioid meds continues to hurt millions of chronic pain patients. The trend is worsening and has resulted in misery and suicides.

I was fired from two science jobs for refusing to repeat lies. I was right, but they still fight me in court. Because once science bends to power, it stops being science. Truth doesn’t need loyalty. Narratives do. Real science welcomes correction. Fake science fears it.

@StephenM I think what she said is highly objectionable but not an incitement to violence. Incitement to violence is a legal term that should not be invoked for distasteful things.

I'm thinking of the courage it took for people not to give up names during HUAC. We're not used to having to be brave in that way. But we're going to have to find our courage.

Never ever agree to getting a spinal cord stimulator or a pain pump in this Tylenol only climate Remember, they’re banking on your desperation

One change I am noticing in the messages I get from pts who have been abandoned and forced off meds is some doctors seem to be enjoying this. Smirking at pts. Laughing at them. The power difference is fun for some, I suppose. All of this comes from the false narrative that…

@RealCandaceO Since you already have access to the documents from the French lawsuits, you know very well that Brigitte Macron is female. In other words, you know very well that your accusations are false.

The most ridiculous thing you can ever do is respond to a mean tweet in tones of outrage. Do you get mad at the toaster?

“ Opioids? Of all the things to be defending” How dare people with pain want to live a quality-filled life and not be treated like a rabid animal, documented as a drug seeker, be experimented on; put on harmful medications that cause dementia or dental decay
