A new study has found that among children who contracted Covid 41% of toddlers, and 45% of preschoolers had at least one long-lasting symptom, so while you have likely heard the children are the future, know that in the present the children are still struggling to recover.

The disastrous Citizens United decision put a for-sale sign on our democracy and has permitted $15 BILLION in outside spending since 2010. Our campaign finance system is broken, and if we want to fix it, we need to #EndCitizensUnited.

We were on the cusp of an immense breakthrough: A cure to our HIV epidemic. A vaccine to prevent one of the world’s deadliest diseases. Until RFK Jr. defunded vaccine trials because a cure to HIV isn't as important as tax breaks for rich people like Big Pharma CEOs.

Pride Month so far: Jonathan Joss is murdered in a disgusting hate crime and the Navy intentionally announces they are changing the name of the USNS HARVEY MILK. America... now more than ever... David Lynch's words ring loudly. "Fix your hearts or die." This cannot be our normal.

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

I keep hearing “that’s not what people voted for” about terrible things that are happening in the US. I don’t understand this phrase. It seems people did vote for the terrible things. The terrible things were promised from the campaign and even spelled out in detail in Project 2025.

Given everything going on with both climate change and airborne viruses, improving IAQ (indoor air quality) everywhere should be a top priority. But alas, there seems little hope of that now or like we're all on our own. So important in healthcare settings & schools & everywhere.

The media spin machine is so predictable. "Antisemitism on the rise" "antisemitism in America" all over the place. We know what you're doing.

Imposter syndrome had a great run, but unfortunately someone found it stabbed to death right in front of the FEMA head who’s unfamiliar with hurricanes

That shit about Jonathan Joss was already bad on its own because it seemed like senseless gun violence when it was initially reported. Now that the circumstances are out there, it's 10x worse. That's why it's important to stand up for LGBTQ+ people. Nobody should ever have to deal with that.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

it is jarring to know in detail how many people, including many senior elected officials, simply don't care how millions of people in and out of the US will unnecessarily suffer and die for the second time in five years

White Christian Nationalist Senator Joni Ernst from Iowa flippantly told a town hall member “we are all going to die sometime “ in response to Medicaid cuts. In her sarcastic apology she doubled down by saying those who want to live forever can do so by embracing Jesus. Vote this heartless skank out

According to WAPO, there are currently ~23,000 US citizens in the IDF, part of a military whose two highest officials are under ICC indictment for war crimes and which the ICJ found was plausibly committing genocide. And yet I've never seen anyone talk about the legal issues they might face.

Zionists are burning little children alive on a daily basis, we've all seen the videos, but you are here posting about the legality of fundraisers for the victims of that genocide. Turn every gadget off, sit down and ask yourself if that is really the piece of shit you want to be

Palestinians don’t like bulk messaging, but they have to resort to it as people keep on ignoring them. If their accounts were able to stay up, they wouldn’t resort to bulk messaging. English also isn’t their first language so they tend to use copy paste messages when advertising their GFMs.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.
