Such an honor to be back on Death Panel (this time with Miles!). We talked through all the ways Trump has attacked Long COVID and COVID-19 research and supports in the first few months of his second term.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

This is gonna be great!

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

so this is how it feels when my haters become my waiters at the table of success

no reason not to primary chuck schumer now

raise your hand if you're not in NYC but you're following the mayoral election out of a desperate need to believe that good things are possible

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

Driving to his poll site because he doesn't live here

A party that actually wanted to mobilize young and disillusioned voters would be studying Zohran Mamdani’s campaign like the Bible

THIS. My husband got it at work and then gave it to me. It was 3 weeks after Biden told everyone they could vax and relax, so his work dropped he mask mandate. My life is forever changed with no consequence to them. My life is precious and I will never be gaslighted to believe less.

the arbitrary rules on domain name registrar transfers are so annoying. i get that they're there to prevent from theft. but still.

this is extremely low stakes given *waves hands* but if you are shipping items via usps or ups and don't know about pirate ship – you're welcome. www.pirateship.com

Please consider joining the @patientled.bsky.social registry whether you have Long COVID or not. We are excited to begin longitudinal data collection (which has been lacking) & let interested folks know about additional research & clinical trial opportunities: mydatahelps.org/e/PLRCRG/Wel... 1/2

Saw this whole out doing errands today

The liberal establishment is putting more effort into stopping a progressive from becoming mayor of New York than they are to stopping all of Trump’s illegal actions combined at the moment.

went to a party yesterday, ran into some folks I haven't seen since I got sick. "you're still sick?" they always ask. then they follow up with "well, you're going to get better, right?" always looks of horror & disgust when i say, matter-of-factly, "i'll probably be sick for the rest of my life."

they should make a way out other than through

I cannot fucking believe we are reposting Get Your War On in 20 fucking 25

they are trying to murder as many LGBT Americans as they can.

what are you supposed to do when the "good" political party doesn't treat a dozen credible sexual harassment claims as disqualifying for a political candidate. how are you supposed to ignore that

I'm a patient rep on this trial – I think it's super interesting. Take a look and sign up if you meet the criteria!

i feel like my pots is worse whenever i sleep badly. anyone else?

I'm excited about this #LongCovid trial! If you meet the eligibility criteria, please consider enrolling - more sites nationwide to be added:

I am just a microscopist with social anxiety. But seeing #Covid impact on the brain through the lenses of the microscope has affected me. It’s hard not to feel for the millions sick everywhere. Below is a 2021 video about our research. Can we please keep talking about #LongCovid?

I really want the pandemic—the hundreds of millions with Long Covid, the tens of millions dead—to mean something. Like cleaner indoor air, normalised masking, funding for post-viral illnesses. Instead, we got mask bans, disability cuts and an anti-vaxxer in the White House

“Recent policy changes around COVID-19 vaccines are already sowing chaos and confusion and restricting vaccine access — including for people who should still be eligible to receive them.” I wrote about RFK Jr’s anti-vax chaos for @thesicktimes.bsky.social. thesicktimes.org/2025/06/19/t...

i don't care what your politics are: if your assessment of the covid pandemic doesn't include long covid, you haven't assessed the covid pandemic.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

www.theguardian.com/society/2025... Ondine did such a huge job to get recognition for all with Long Covid👇

can someone tell me if this week's if books could kill is another hour of michel hobbes talking about covid but not mentioning long covid as a major consequence? i don't think my long covid addled body has the constitution for another one of these

i also offer this service, straight man to straight man

You really can’t make this up, you really can’t. It’s complete and utter incompetence across the board and across all agencies. Which, of course, is the point.

Interesting that I’m not seeing any reports of the “He’s An Asshole But The City Needs An Asshole To Stand Up To Trump” mayoral candidate doing any standing up to Trump re: the unjustified arrest of the sitting Comptroller

“latest shooting of gazans seeking food”

This photo. ICE is a gang.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Okay so excited to finally share that I'm part of this really cool team of people trying to spin up a new worker owned publication in the Bay Area! We're fundraising now and it would be so rad if you supported us! Awoooo!!

The New York Times editorial board today

Bizarrely, it appears that Trump’s nominee to lead the FAA has been lying about holding a commercial pilot license www.politico.com/news/2025/06... #aviation

Why is germ theory in the same air quotes as "miasma theory," I ask as a historian of medicine who is very very tired

This is worth sitting with. Just for instance, I know who gave me the infection that left me bedbound. It does happen. This isn’t an abstraction.
