Chemistry undergrad, somewhat-of-a-Londoner, human being. Opinions are my own.

We’re here for you, more than ever. Please help spread our page far and wide many are desperately seeking reliable updates on public health, especially regarding bird flu, COVID-19, and tuberculosis. No one can silence us when it comes to sharing crucial health news. Together, we stay strong!

So the world's richest man spends a fortune backing Trump and is given the go-ahead to... -Run an "efficiency" agency despite having billions in govt contracts -Replace civil servants with his own cronies -Gain access to sensitive Treasury payment systems See the problem?

It’s been a while. I’m here in London, my home. I just have to remember that we are safe. For now. But the time is ticking. 2029 is not far. And unlike in the US, over here an election can be called early. The bad actors have their eyes on all of us. ALL OF US.

It’s been a few days… Apparently Gen Z males show more support for Trump (US) and Farage (UK). As a Gen Z male, this baffles me. But maybe now people who look for balanced, trustworthy sources and don’t fall for misinformation on social media, are in the minority…

I can see Biden-Harris just sitting there while the others give a standing ovation. Harris has her hands crossed, her signature sarcastic look on her face. As Trump talks about common sense, Biden visibly has to stop himself from bursting out laughing. This is the kind of pettiness I’m here for…

So today is the day. Don’t know whether to watch or not. They say don’t watch it, but I couldn’t miss out on the ironic humor of it all. I guess laughing at him makes it easier. But as Ezra Klein so brilliantly said, they think all attention is good attention, so…? #inauguration

I just realized. He said he’d be a dictator on day one. That day is almost here. That day has almost come. To all my friends in the #USA, who didn’t want this day to come, didn’t vote for it, and are dreading it, here’s a British college student for moral support. Do reach out :-) #inauguration

So I’ve decided that as a citizen of the UK and the world, how things are run is my business just like everyone else’sAnd . So I’m gonna be talking #politics. First opinion, Trump being name dropped on the #tiktok ban screen and the “we’re back” message gives me icky “dear leader” vibes
