"The hidden harms of medical gaslighting" Fibromyalgia, Long COVID, endometriosis, chronic fatigue syndrome and autoimmune disorders put patients at higher risk of “medical gaslighting,” where genuine clinical concerns are dismissed or invalidated without proper medical evaluation.
 A screenshot of an online article from the American Psychological Association website. The large bold headline reads, "The hidden harms of medical gaslighting," with the subheading, "Researchers are leading efforts to better support patients with difficult-to-diagnose conditions." The piece is by Heather Stringer, dated October 1, 2026, and is tagged with three blue oval buttons: "Health Care," "Health Equity," and "Chronic Illness." Below the text, a photograph shows a Black woman with braids looking highly distressed and overwhelmed while talking on a smartphone. She has her eyes closed tightly and her left hand pressed against her forehead in frustration.

With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

Corporations spend more than $1.5B a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5B they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions. Kudos to these Autozone workers.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

A decade ago, Florida stripped a teacher of her license for sexually abusing a 16-year-old. Last year, she opened a private school there with ease. As private schools fueled by taxpayer dollars proliferate, states are choosing not to closely regulate who runs them or what they teach:
