After so many years of this pandemic we know what we must do to make it through yet another wave: wear a proper mask, test frequently, protect ourselves, and try to protect others, yes, after so many years we know what we must do, but (alas) how few of us are willing to do it.

Dear Famous People that are trying to avoid C19 by wiping down shopping carts. Please note that wearing a well fitted respirator is the most useful non-pharma thing you can do to avoid infection, and it’s great role modelling.

I have friends and family who won’t follow politics because it makes them angry and upset. Avoiding ugly truths is exactly why we’re here!

“I don't want sympathy from you. I literally want you to take a serious stand. I want you to share this tweet and make my voice heard around the world so everyone can see what's happening to us.”- @helpcatsmallam.bsky.social paypal.me/animalrescue703 My friend Mo needs our help more than ever.

Ms Rachel said actually no I will not shut up

dear cardiologists, I do not want to hear you being surprised or concerned about increases in cardiovascular events in recent years until you, yourself, address the elephant in the room that is the virus we all know and love as a major heart disease factor

pretty sure EIon's ketamine use example is demonstrating that the War On Drugs was really a a war on the poor and racialized. Rich people can do whatever the fck they want

Something that immunocompromised people can never forget is how we felt when we saw everyone abandon us when they all removed their masks in 2022 They didn’t care about our health or mental health They believed the government’s ableist & eugenicist lies because it sounded like “good news” to them

Trump cuts threaten safety training for America’s most dangerous jobs reut.rs/4kMstWR

The TODAY Show recommends N95s, vaccines, and frequent testing to dodge the potentially forthcoming NB.1.8.1 summer wave. 💉💪😷 The U.S. government recommends against vaccines for children and pregnant people. 🤦 Link to video & more detailed article: www.today.com/health/coron...

MAGA will absolutely commit genocide and mass murder if allowed to or instructed to.

Let's check in on today's coverage of Joni 'WELL WE ALL ARE GOING TO DIE' Ernst...

Senator Joni Ernst tells constituents that they might as well "die and reduce the surplus population." She is visited overnight by three spirits but refused to meet with them because they were not high-dollar donors. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Sen Joni Ernst ‘brilliantly’ says “we all die” as she votes to rip away critical health insurance from Iowa families. Why doesn’t she give up HER health insurance that covers her illnesses? I say she’s too cynical, cold and selfish for public service. That will be up to the people of Iowa.

Civics 101: presidents are not kings…

If they can make one person disappear, they can make all of us disappear one by one. The Trump Administration is threatening to suspend one of the most sacred constitutional rights: habeas corpus—your right to not disappear into government custody. www.rutherford.org/publications...

Knowing the types of science denial helps you identify when someone is denying science and how they are doing it. Knowledge is power, this is why politicians seeking control limit your access to knowledge.

Look, faces! Who are these guys?

I'm for this. #TaxTheBillionaires

NAACP calls for emergency shutdown of Musk’s supercomputer in Memphis

IT'S SHUT THE FUCK UP FRIDAY! If you are stopped or detained by ANY law enforcement FOR ANY REASON, the ONLY thing you should say (besides providing ID in a stop and ID state) is: I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. That's it.

I. AM. *c r y i n g* 😆 “Stripping but for nerds” omfg 🤣

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks go to Peter Thiel, avowed enemy of democracy. While we fight to bring fascists to heel, Keep an eye on one Peter A. Thiel. Spending cash in the dark Makes his power more stark— With an oligarch’s smug, even keel.

Trump released his proposed budget-and it’s as draconian as you’d expect He’s cutting SNAP by almost 2/3 Reducing cancer research by nearly 40% Taking $33 billion from the HUD And $12 billion from the Department of Education Once again-the cruelty is the point www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

GO. MOW. YOUR. MOM. Please report my murder!

RFK Jr. says the CDC will no longer recommend COVID vaccines for healthy pregnant women. Yet doctors have found that stillbirths can result from COVID directly infiltrating the placenta — even for people whose COVID symptoms were mild or nonexistent. @deldeib.bsky.social‬'s story from 2022:

Love being lectured on community by leftists who won't wear a mask

Joni Ernst on Medicaid cuts: “we all are going to die” JD Vance on school shootings: they are a “fact of life” Donald Trump on toys for children: two dolls are enough And Trump after a school shooting: “…get over it, we have to move forward” These people are incapable of governing. Or humaning.

These people have lost their humanity. Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa responded to a constituent at a town hall who yelled out that proposed GOP cuts to Medicaid will cost lives.

Musk's officially blamed his black eye on his 5 year old son, claiming he told him to punch him as a game. However, on closer inspection you can see other bruising and scratches.

This is embarrassing!!! Take that money and spend it in the communities. You change the country and win over young men (and other demographics) by implementing meaningful changes that improve people’s lives.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Genocide, ecocide, what's next? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

BREAKING: ICE RAID reported at Buona Forchetta tonight about a mile up the road in San Diego. Smoke bombs were used to disperse the crowd. FUCK ICE. WTF?!

As NB.1.8.1 “Nimbus” and XFG rise, despite the gaslighting propaganda yes children can be impacted especially by post-acute illness. This graphic is from Gross et al, “Long COVID in Young Children, School-Aged Children, and Teens”, JAMA Pediatrics (2025), jamanetwork.com/journals/jam....

Joni Ernst is a POS: "Illegals" don't get Medicaid benefits. Medicaid is not money mailed to people. Medicaid PAYS health bills. My mom's memory care was paid for by Medicaid. And it's HARD as HELL to qualify. Undocumented people sometimes pay IN thru taxes. They do NOT get friggin' benefits. Bitch.

Stop voting for Senators that don’t care if you die.

USA: "Doctors sound alarm over massive spike in Americans suddenly dropping dead from unexplained heart attacks" "The COVID virus — which is thought to have infected over 100 million Americans — has been shown to cause damage to the heart and blood vessels which may be a factor" archive.md/0zvzO

If you don’t have time to read the article “What to know about the new Covid-19 variant NB.1.8.1” please, allow me to summarize its contents: what you need to know about the new variant is that the pandemic never ended and you do not want to catch (or spread) this variant.

Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

We’re in a bad place right now.

This is serious! Will it be enough for people to care and pay attention?
