If the supreme court gives the Trump regime what it wants, it's over. No more due process. No more law. Game, Set. Match.

Does he think there are actual physical barriers?

What do you think he's been doing for the last two months?

Isn't "Thou shalt tariff the penguins" a sign of the apocalypse?

People are dumb.

I took one every 8 hours when I was doing 3/day.

I think I have to leave this sub because reading the delusions is driving me insane.

Because they are fucking morons.

This is straight from Project 2025.

Exact fucking language.

My doctor told me that after I've been stable for at least a year, she would start increasing the spacing between my doses of Xolair (every 5 weeks, then 6 weeks, etc). If the hives don't come back, it could eventually lead to stopping, but it will probably take years.

It should not be injected in the stomach. It should be about two inches away from the bellybutton and should be done into the subcutaneous layer of fat. Is it possible they injected it incorrectly?

I guess we'll have more people freed up to protest.

It sounds like he wants to send the 37 former death row inmates to El Salvador (review their prisons to see if the prison conditions are equal to their crimes).

Isn't that what they want?

He's right, but he's talking about the wrong thing. The world hates us now. Europe hates us. Canada despises us. Our "allies" are now Russia and North Korea. The US has been magafied.

This is huge. It was all over the place.

How do you not know this?

"When people protested last year, they did not know that they would have no protection under free speech OR right to assembly in future- OR that those rights would be pulled retroactively by a completely lawless new administration, so that a protest they undertook then, which was considered legal then, would be retroactively declared illegal by the next government and, further, would be ground enough for them to be disappeared, sent to a gulag in EL Salvador, lose their immigration status, etc."

"Now that we know that all protest can be deemed terrorist under one pretext or another, protestors who come out will be risking the might of a totalitarian and lawless state. And what's so sickening is that they cannot count of the public at large being outraged by brownwshirt antics on the street. They might still be willing to stage open and suicidal protest, but when the majority of the country- the Great and Glorious Center, including the majority of Bulwark and PSA- doesn't give a ff about the cause in question, then what will they accomplish by protesting? stirrings here and there, they can be easily spooked or confused out of them."

Aren't these the very reasons to protest?

We aren't about to lose rights; we've already lost them.

It's going to have to get worse before American "comfort" is outweighed by pain, when people have lost so much that they don't care about their personal safety anymore.

We are too comfortable. And that's why we're losing.

The number of votes gets higher every day.

That fucking lunatic is going to blow up the world, either literally or economically, while fucking magas cheer him on.

Yep. It was very depressing. I would have relief for a few days and then--POW! They came back. It's like a punch in the gut every time.

My guess is your doctor will add antihistamines and/or doses to your regimen. That's always the next step in treatment. You have to demonstrate a failure of antihistamine treatment for six weeks to be eligible for Xolair (at least in the US).

The same thing happened to me. I would start a new antihistamine, the hives would go away for a few days, and then they'd come back. It's pretty common.

Have you tried taking two or three antihistamines at the same time? That's usually the next step, but it doesn't always work either. You can try one in the morning and the other at night, or you can try both two or three times per day. You should be under the care of a doctor when doing this.

I was taking Fexofenadine, cetirizine, and famotidine 3x/day, plus montelukast at night. I also took benadryl when needed. I started Xolair last May, and I am now taking the same antihistamines only once per day. I hope you are able to get approved for it. It has worked for a lot of us suffering from hives.

I'm sorry you are going through this. It sounds like you've tried , everything, so it may be time to talk to your doctor about starting immunosuppressant drugs, such as Cyclosporine. These drugs are used in organ transplants to stop the body from rejecting the new organ. You can search this sub to read about other people using it.

Dupixent is another drug that has been used with some success.

Infections and vaccines are known to trigger hives (anything that stimulates the immune system is a potential trigger). My current flare started after the shingles vaccine, but even a cold might do it. Multiple Covid infections have probably stimulated your immune system repeatedly. You have the worst of all worlds. Sorry.

What is the highest dose of Prednisone you have taken? Have you ever been hospitalized and received IV steroids at higher doses? Sometimes that is necessary to "break" a flare and worked for me in the past.

I don't have any advice for topical treatments because none of them ever worked for me.

Again, I'm sorry you have to deal with this. We all know how maddening it is.

No one knows what the current (and future) political climate will do to population change. A lot of the things going on now are changing the "migration south" to "migration to states with human rights protections."

Also, if Trump does succeed in deporting millions of people, a lot of them will be coming from Florida and Texas because their republican governments won't put up a fight to stop the deportations.

Don't forget climate change. Weather extremes (heat and hurricanes) may make parts of the south unlivable. Where will all those people go?

There are so many moving parts that it is impossible to predict. And, of course, this assumes "elections" will mean anything in the future, which appears to be doubtful, at best, at this time.
