(he/him) The pandemic has shone a light on everything wrong with our society. You're not for social justice if you're against COVID mitigation. #BringBackMasks

Periodic reminder: wear a well fitting n95 or better mask. The fascists are going to do nothing to protect people from the spread of this new variant or its damage. If you have stopped wearing mask it’s time to buy some new ones or find your stock so you can protect yourselves and your community

While the US attacks public health & disability rights… a new COVID variant is here. An n95 mask is a reliable defense against acute illness & long COVID. Unmitigated pandemics are fascist projects that most harm marginalized folks. Masking is resistance. Give/get mask mutual aid: maskbloc.org

Banana producer Chiquita has announced mass layoffs in Panama amid an ongoing strike. The United States-owned banana giant said on Friday it was letting “all” daily labourers go for the “unjustified abandonment of work at our plantations”.

THIS FUCKING GUY. Reinstating Medicaid asset limits, which kept elders and disabled people in a state of enforced poverty, is some outright cruel rightwing shit. This man is an embarrassment. Killing elders and disabled people for a 'balanced budget' is rancid.

happy pride. I don't want to see any fascist behavior, including what-about-the-children pearl-clutching about pride, and I DO want to see everyone giving queer people money

Remember: if your #Pride event does not require respirators, it is inaccessible— not to mention, frankly dangerous as hell with this current disease soup y’all are breathing freely without masks. A LOT of queer folks are disabled and high risk. Stop leaving us behind.

Happy Pride to all the queer disabled folks who are excluded from most things this month because of accessibility issues

“I was hungry” and you cut SNAP. “I was thirsty” and you cut funding to ensure clean water. “I was sick” and you cut medicaid. “I was a stranger” and you deported me. “I was in prison” and you just left me there to rot. “Whatever you do to the least of these, you do unto me.”-Jesus

Whenever a politician claims that God is on their side, all they are doing is reducing God to a mere tool of manipulation in order to get people on their side. It is blasphemy. It is using God’s name in vain. Christians should be the loudest ones opposing such behavior rather than cheering it on.

As the parent of a type-I diabetic, I would like to invite the ignorant piece of shit currently directing the FDA to kiss my ass.

The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans. Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect. I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as “procedures.”

now is a great time to tell a trans person you love them because a lot of us will be on the brink for the foreseeable future

as someone who had to counsel at least one individual dealing with ideation last night over this news, i am not kidding. please tell the trans people in your life that you love them today. could save them! you don’t know.

bc i'm tired of hearing about this and elon musk's hair plugs, let's get this out of the way: every single ban on trans healthcare includes carveouts for the exact same medications but for cisgender people

In this week's Briefing, we provide an overview of last week's ACIP Meeting, Respiratory Illnesses, and Measles Updates. ACIP reviewed lots of covid data and then discussed risk-based vs. universal vaccine recommendations, which they'll vote on in Jun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEgF...

Can someone please explain to me why masking is not required in NICUs and PICUs (among other places)? These are very vulnerable patients. And one in 5 children and adolescents with Covid-associated hospitalization are admitted to ICU. We must protect our babies and children!

a whole lot of people have no idea what a luxury it is to simply Walk To The Store

I think this is the first time I've lived walking distance from a grocery store and I'm out of my mind about it. I'll walk there several times a day. Oh did I forget to grab something? No big deal I'll simply Walk To The Store

"Historians who specialize in the 2020s tend to agree that Rockstar's decision to push the release of GTA 6 by almost a year acted a force multiplier for the great uprising, bringing tens of millions into the streets in the fall of 2025."

hey, you guys? am I the only one who cares that government officials are lying about who is really in charge of the organization that has dismantled multiple federal agencies?

What’s most troubling about this is the violation of the artistic integrity of a Dunkin’ Donuts commercial.

Sick of being sick? Some great strategies here! johndupuis.substack.com/p/sick-of-be...
