“Exposure to respiratory viruses before a baby’s first birthday — when immune systems are immature and before most childhood vaccinations — consistently predicted reduced earnings, education and health decades later.”

Cicely Saunders fell in love with a dying man.

London, 1948. David Tasma, a 40-year-old Polish Jew who escaped the Warsaw Ghetto, was dying of cancer in agonizing pain. Cicely, a 30-year-old medical social worker, sat with him for weeks. He told her there was no proper place for people like him to die with dignity.

Before he died, he gave her his life savings — £500 — and said:
“I’ll be a window in your home.”
She built that home.

Born June 22, 1918, in north London, Cicely trained as a nurse during WWII and witnessed hospitals abandon the dying — isolating them, leaving them in pain, treating death as failure.

After a back injury, she became a medical social worker, then, at 33, entered medical school on a doctor’s challenge. She qualified as a doctor in 1957.

At St Joseph’s Hospice, she pioneered regular morphine dosing to control pain without addiction or drowsiness, and developed the concept of “total pain” — addressing physical, emotional, social, and spiritual suffering.

In 1967, she opened St Christopher’s Hospice in Sydenham — the first modern hospice combining expert care, teaching, and research. David Tasma’s £500 seeded it; a plain window honors him.

She pioneered home care, outpatient services, and bereavement support. Her words:
“You matter because you are you, and you matter to the end of your life.”
Her model spread globally, birthing the modern hospice and palliative care movement.

Cicely married Polish painter Marian Bohusz-Szyszko in 1980. She worked at St Christopher’s into her late 80s and died there of breast cancer on July 14, 2005, at 87 — cared for by the principles she created.

Before Cicely, the dying were forgotten.

She turned love and grief into a revolution of dignity that has comforted millions.

Every hospice on Earth owes its light to her window for David Tasma.

🚨 The White House May Have Just Confirmed The Most Important Part Of The Epstein Story Without Meaning To.

New reporting comes out.

The response isn't:

"None of this happened."

The response is:

"Find the leaker."

Think about the logic.

If officials are launching a leak probe, they're looking for people inside the administration who spoke to reporters.

That means they're treating the conversations as real.

BREAKING: In a stunning endorsement against a sitting Republican Senator, the United Steelworkers in Ohio have endorsed Sherrod Brown. This is a huge step towards winning back working class voters. Let's go!

(📢) Please RT this 200-post thread on the eve of Musk becoming humanity’s first trillionaire.

I’m a Musk biographer, and IMO—based on research—he’s one of the most dangerous men alive. I urge folks to consider this before aiding in enriching him further. https://t.co/qoWLKMI4rB

A 9,000-year-old skeleton discovered in a cave near Cheddar, England, became known as “Cheddar Man.” When scientists analyzed his DNA, they found an astonishing connection: a living descendant was working as a history teacher less than half a mile from where the ancient remains were uncovered, linking nearly 300 generations across nine millennia.

This is exactly how it was designed to be under Project 2025. MAGA have installed their Caesar as was the aim of those who bought him the keys to the White House and are pulling the strings in the shadows.

This is why government no longer functions as intended by the Founding Fathers. Washington is now the headquarters of feudal America where Trump is king (until he isn’t).

Take a listen to Peter Baker from the New York Times, in this trailer for the documentary Trump’s Power and the Rule of law.

@MatthewStadlen Fox News is in the UK. Disgusting.

Quite possibly the most extraordinary exchange I’ve ever been involved in on TV.

[Candace Owens @RealCandaceO]

Absolutely wild to learn that Donald Trump called Charlie and reprimanded him about his coverage of the Epstein Files. On July 12th—the day after I keep insisting a made a decision to kill Charlie according to our timeline.

I have said over and over again, Tucker’s speech at SAS caused the psychopathic Zionists to begin targeting Charlie.

Also this absolutely makes my skin crawl about Erika hugging Trump. That woman is truly despicable. Anything BUT a legitimately grieving widow.

Pope Leo at Port of Arguineguín: “Dear migrants: before saying any other word to you, I want to bow before your dignity. You are not numbers, nor files! You are people with a family and a home that you have left behind, with dreams that no one has the right to despise.”

Mehdi Hasan: “Some people say Bari Weiss will be fired because the ratings are going down and the chaos. That misunderstands what’s going on here. She’s not there to make CBS win in the ratings. She’s there to make CBS a safe place for Trump and MAGA”

This is a man, @mehdirhasan, whose time has come. The groupthink among my generation of editors has damaged the country and coarsened our politics.

🚨 @campbellclaret on Bloomberg with Jacob Rees-Mogg cuts through the noise:

A rejoin referendum likely won’t happen anytime soon because while Nigel Farage and Reform remain influential, the EU simply won’t have us back.

“While we’ve got the prospect of people like Jacob getting into bed with people like Nigel Farage… the EU’s not going to think about having us back.”

Brutal but accurate. Farage’s chaos is the biggest barrier to fixing Brexit.

Rees-Mogg admits the Leave campaign was chaotic, different people promised different things, no coherent plan, and the government implementing it (Theresa May, a Remainer) didn’t believe in it.

Classic Brexit: sold with lies, delivered with confusion.

Ten years on, the division Brexit created inside the Tory party helped birth Reform and now it’s blocking the very reset or rejoin that a growing majority of the public wants.

Brexit broke British politics. Fixing it means moving past the Farage era.

@JohnCrookes7 White nationalism is a project of the tech oligarchs. Also, Russian agit prop and destabilisation. Between them they provide a lot of the cash to foment fear and disorder on and off-line.
