@jrehmeyer.bsky.social@jrehmeyer.bsky.social → @julierehmeyer.bsky.social(1/3) As an outsider, it appears the US is approaching a crossroad on the edge of a precipice. What happens in November 2026 is going to determine the trajectory for a long time. The heart of the nation and the robustness of democracy is at stake with Project 2025 & Dark Enlightenment sympathisers.
Show Post(2/3) But what happens in the US affects the whole world too. Other countries are suffering inflationary pressures because of the 'war' on Iran. This comes at a bad time for Australia, which is in the grips of a major housing affordability crisis, disproportionately affecting people with #MECFS.
Show Post(3/3) The global reputation of the US is plummeting fast. Most are sick and tired of being exposed to Trumpist shenanigans every single day, except those who wish to emulate them, including rightwing populist grifters in Australia who are salivating at the chance to replicate that 'success' here.
Show Post9+ years of very severe #MECFS has done great harm to my physical health. I know there is a belief that ME/CFS does not cause damage. But years of nutritional deficiency, medication effects, and deconditioning from unavoidable restrictions, *does* do harm that is not all necessarily reversible.
