You can exclaim like that over most of her posts. Yesterday she was gushing over Libs of TikTok, something I find hard to believe any ostensible sex trafficking survivor would do.

My GP had to pay $1,000 for antivirals for him and his partner. How a front-line health worker has to fork out for anti-virals from his own wallet to avoid long Covid and ensure he can keep treating patients is mildly insane. There's no public health advice to explain this.

I don't know if the rogue Chechen thesis is correct or if they were cut-outs or just plain framed; this is how Putin has operated always. If he was prepared to blow up apartments full of innocent people, then next to nothing was too much for him.

Maybe in a different language. But this is owning the decision at all levels; not pretending some alien 'health issue' flew in to take the brave leader off course. Very refreshing but she was so admired close to home and much further afield.
