Please please get your flu (and Covid) 💉 and wear a mask. To dispel the rumors: sometimes we send a test that tells us if the Flu A is H1 or H3 - if/when it results as either we know it's a normal Flu A.

37% strongly approve...yes, it's a poll; anecdata from this household says cell phone polls are not uncommon & sometimes get answered...my partner still answers all calls but I am rejecting polls because the last poll I did they rejected some of my answers & needed my personal info and rn that's no.

Yesterday, a bankruptcy judge blew up the Alex Jones settlement with Sandy Hook families. That judge, Christopher Lopez, runs the country's true deep state: a bankruptcy court where corporations routinely wriggle free of accountability. Incredible report from Moe Tkacik: prospect.org/justice/2025...

Company housing went away for good reasons. It's being re-proposed as a solution for various problems these days, incl lack of affordable housing (see CA teachers) but maybe we could try to learn from history that this was really bad for workers?

And is RFK Jr qualified to work on healthy foods? And isn't that also code for "take people off their psychiatric medications, all they need is healthy foods"? And what exactly does "pro-American" mean in this context? 🤨

Over on 🧵 I shared some info about how the 2/5 stuff isn't legit and at least the WA one could cause harm...and right now all my threads & replies are gone. Oh Meta. (Meta does this, but usually not everything...and they often reappear after a time. 🤷‍♂️)

Do you happen to know the backline numbers maybe? It might be easier for whoever has access to those numbers to coordinate this. Just a thought.

A private citizen shutting down a government agency is a coup. Do not normalize this.

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB". The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

Yes...and...there's a whole spectrum of sick and can't even volunteer a few hrs for years to sick but holding on to a job if it's arranged *just so*. The cynic in me says that the Disability Tax is real & feeds the economy in it's own way (saving $$$ means acting less disabled around here).

He gave us Operation Warp Speed - but also did an awful lot to destroy confidence in public health. So it's unsurprising that he has plans for more wonderful vaccines - and that ppl don't trust them & even view this as betrayal.
