I'm well aware of the heated discourse around the Gaza fundraisers. I continue to post for people I know, whom I speak with regularly, and who are legit. That said, I understand those who are wary of giving this way. I wish Bluesky wouldn’t delete and censor these accounts, but they seem determined.

A healthy, rational society wouldn’t let rip a dangerous airborne illness that can harm immune systems & any organ or organ system. But if it did, it would then institute increased monitoring for heart problems, dementia, autoimmune disorders, cancer, etc. Too bad we got capitalism instead. #Covid

‘Long COVID is common, affecting up to 10% to 20% of children with a history of COVID-19. With almost 6 million US children potentially affected, this is higher than the number of children with asthma, the most common chronic health problem in children.’ jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

It took us so long to have the right to love who we love in public, and we’ve embraced this change so beautifully that some of the younger kids now don’t understand how recent it is. It all feels so fragile now. My heart breaks for Jonathan and Tristan.

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

The second type of fascism about which I wanted to discuss is the identity fascism that spread in Romania between the two world wars and after the fall of Ceaușescu's regime. Romania is the result of the unification of 3 regions: Moldova, Muntenia and Transylvania. The first two unified in 1859.

📣 New: Andy Burnham has set out a wide-ranging critique of the government and alternative left policy programme in an impassioned speech to a progressive conference. He suggests Labour must move beyond "factionalism" and "too much timidity in our offer". labourlist.org/2025/05/andy...

Hmmm… so masks work and so do mask mandates in schools. “We further estimate that the removal of mandates during this time contributed to 21800 COVID deaths through the rest of 2022, 9% of the U.S. total that year.

When a constituent said people would die if they lost Medicaid, Senator Joni Ernst responded: "Well, we all are going to die". Republican party leadership are some of the worst people on this planet. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #Kindness #Medicaid

Yes, Joni, we are all going to die. But it shouldn't be our SENATORS who are killing us.

“Fixing climate change is too expensive.” Um no. What’s really expensive is doing nothing. Climate disasters cost billions—and those costs are rising fast. Climate solutions save money and lives, as well as building a better world for us all 🌏💚

It's really not. When Dems bother fighting back with arguments, they easily win this issue every time. When they stick their head in the sand and ignore it, they lose.

“Trans dignity is a losing issue for Democrats, Palestine freedom is a losing issue, the dignity of the homeless and immigrants is a losing issue.” I do not fucking care! Fight for it anyway or give up. What else are we fighting for if not?

This is good except for the fact that they fail to mention harm reduction strats like transmission prevention, & the role reinfection plays in worsening LC (or triggering for ppl who avoided it the first x number of infections). No suggestion of enforcing masking or clean air in LC med. facilities

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

Elon Musk is what happens when white-collar crime meets fascist fetishism. He didn’t just exploit tech — he weaponized it, sold us out, and sabotaged our institutions. He’s not a visionary. He’s a fucking enemy of the state.

"How is this scientific?" That’s what I was asked while testifying in court on behalf of a person with #LongCOVID seeking work comp benefits. What followed was an attack on me, and on the legitimacy of infection-associated illness, lived experience, and equity in medicine. /🧵

Abolish the billionaire class and provide universal basic income to everyone. Watch the world change. Add in universal healthcare, affordable housing, clean air & water and paid time off/childcare? There’s no reason we can’t make it happen. Those who hoard the wealth don’t WANT it.

At least seven of the cited sources in the ‘MAHA report’ do not even actually exist. For example, the document listed epidemiologist Katherine Keyes as first author of a study on anxiety in adolescents… “The paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with,” Keyes said.

You do not have to accept repeat Covid infections as inevitable. Mitigations work. Layers work best. Get your booster. Clean & ventilate the air. Test and stay home when sick. Perhaps most important of all, wear a well fitted N95. It protects you & those around you. Community care can save us!

It’s also a short step from treating a virus as a crime to treating the ill as criminals. I’m reminded of the recent remarks by Dr. Oz saying it was our “patriotic duty” to remain healthy so we consume fewer healthcare resources.
