Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.

"Si nous sommes si peu pour l’instant et que nous dérangeons autant, eh bien c’est que nous sommes au bon endroit. J’ai autant le droit de vivre que tous ces ultrariches, et on n’a pas à m’imposer la maladie pour la seule souveraineté alimentaire. C’est un mauvais calcul, et c’est mal nous connaître que de croire que nous allons nous laisser faire."

Voilà ce que m'a dit, entre autres, Fleur Breteau pour @mediapart . Nouvelle figure de la lutte contre les #pesticides, cette femme atteinte d'un #cancer a fait irruption le 8 juillet à l'Assemblée, à l'issue du vote de la loi "Duplomb".

This is beyond the invasion of privacy that I'm now accustomed to.

For example, when I have to go to the Cancer Hospital for another blood draw or CT scan as part of my Oncology care....if I have to keep my phone on, or turn it on?

I start getting a new wave of Cremation services ads.

It's just not ok.
