Hexagons aren't always MQ-9s, but in this case, yes, there are two MQ-9 Reapers over LA today. Just ridiculous.

The people of Los Angeles will rally on Monday, 6/9 to demand the release of everyone unjustly detained by ICE, like SEIU leader David Huerta, and an end to militaristic escalation on our communities. Join us and @aclusocal.bsky.social at 11 AM in LA to call for an end to these human rights abuses.

The Trump regime’s playbook: if data makes us look bad, kill the data. From hiding COVID cases (“if we don’t test, no infections”) to gutting inflation tracking by slashing staff—now some cities report nothing on prices. If you stop counting, the truth disappears. #EconSky #News #FuckTrump #Resist

Here's the latest variant picture for my new "Global - Other" report, to mid-May. The NB.1.8.1 "Nimbus" variant is clearly dominant at 43%. The XFG.* variant is another challenger, growing to 9%. #COVID19 #GlobalOther #NB_1_8_1 #Nimbus #XFG 🧵

Fun fact. The first time NB.1.8.1 was detected in US wastewater was 2/26/25 from Sacramento, CA (reported 3/6/25). The first time it was found in a person was 3/18/25 from Alameda County, CA (reported 5/12/25). One of these techniques is faster (and cheaper) than the other.

The media have been complicit with the government in covering up the threat of the ongoing Covid pandemic and the risks to the public. If they’re recommending N95s, we should pay attention. They don’t suggest masks lightly.

This is getting somewhat lost. The night before Ukraine's drone raid, Russia conducted what was the largest drone attack on Ukraine in the war to date—and, I guess, ever—with 472 Shahed-type attack drones. Broke last week's record by 100 drones. kyivindependent.com/russia-shatt...

The Pentagon is giving all transgender military service members until June 6 to voluntarily resign, CBS reports. Want to hear some Orwellian Newspeak? After that, the military will begin “involuntary separations” for any who remain. They get kicked out.

As NB.1.8.1 “Nimbus” and XFG rise, people need to realize the risk of COVID-induced organ damage in all ages. This graphic is from Ewing et al, “Review of organ damage from COVID and Long COVID: a disease with a spectrum of pathology”, Medical Review (2024), www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi....

There is an H3N2 variant that is rising in frequency that has the potential to evade immunity from the 2025-2026 Northern Hemisphere vaccine. Imagine if we had a vaccine platform that could be easily updated today so that we could have a better matched vaccine by September? #mRNA
