  Have you ever been told that your pain is imaginary? That feeling better just takes yoga, CBD oil, and the blood of a unicorn on a full moon? That's the reality of the more than 190 million people suffering the excruciating condition known as endometriosis. This disease affecting one in ten cis women and uncounted numbers of others is chronically overlooked, underfunded, and misunderstood—and improperly treated across the medical system. Discrimination and medical gaslighting are rife in endo care, often leaving patients worse off. 
   
   
   
  Journalist Tracey Lindeman knows it all too well. Decades of suffering from endometriosis propelled the creation of BLEED—part memoir, part investigative journalism, and all scathing indictment of how the medical system fails patients. Through extensive interviews and research, BLEED tracks the modern endo experience to the origins of medicine and how the system gained its power by marginalizing women. Using an intersectional lens, BLEED dives into how the system perpetuates misogyny, racism, classism, ageism, transphobia, fatphobia, and other prejudices to this day. 
   
   
   
  BLEED isn't a self-help book. It's an evidence file and an eye-opening, enraging book. It will validate those who have been gaslit, mistreated, or ignored by medicine and spur listeners to fight for nothing short of revolution.

  If you voted for Donald Trump, and you thought he was joking when he said he'd be "A Dictator just for a day" - I bet you're not laughing now. Are you? 
  And when he continues to say he's "thinking" about extending his time in the White house to a third term, do you think he's Still "joking?" 
  Yes, I know the consitution says no President can serve more than two terms. The Consitution also says it's unlawful to send the National Guard and/or the Army into Cities. Ditto, allowing masked federal agents to stop, harass, and detain anyone guilty - of not looking white - Plus sendng them who knows where without due process..Likewise creating Global economic instability - which also raises Americans cost of living.(This is "America First?") This is, and will always be 'Trump first". And nothing says that better than his 200 Million dollar Roman Emperor ballroom. To be built next to, and, of course, dwarfing the white house. 
  Third Trump Term impossible? Think about it - Who builds a Billionaires Ballroom...and leaves? 
  In the last century, the Editor of the Baltimore Sun newspaper H.L. Mencken observed: "Nobody ever 
  went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people." 
  In Brother Trumps "Golden Age" it is America that is 
  "broke."
