I’ve watched with dread as Jewish folks in my life align with these views the last few years, so I repeat myself: the Christian Zionist endtimes prophecy at the heart of Bannon et al ends in Jewish conversion or death. I say as a jewish person to other jews: You are being used.

Does talking about what a threat "diasporic" Jews are to the nation state count as antisemitism or is this okay because he's ostensibly pro-Israel.

ProPublica is recording the casualties of the DOGE purge, highlighting the scale of what is being lost as public health programs and seasoned experts are caught in the Trump administration’s blunt-force drive to shrink the federal government.

god the frolic hand tattoo goes so hard

friendly reminder that SAGAFTRA president, fran drescher, justified removing airborne workplace safety precautions by citing a quack with notoriously extremist affiliations ! tiktok.com/t/ZT2PkG4po/

🚨 Breaking: Los Angeles will discontinue their COVlD dashboard in 8 days due to "significantly reduced risks to the general public." How can we ~assess our risks~ without data? LA is leaving us to repeat infections, to disability and death in the dark. publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Corona...

Another friendly reminder. Fran Drescher is a zionist.

remove data sow doubt in vaccines charge for them remove telehealth access terminate disease funding stigmatize then & masks get you sicker and sicker because it’s cheaper for them if you die don’t you see? now are you ready to protect your & your communities health? fortune.com/2025/02/19/a...

"The number of people killed by extremists in America dropped for a third consecutive year last year, but this year’s death toll has already exceeded 2024 and is likely to rise even more."

If: -you won't mask in public indoor spaces -alt text isn't worth your energy -you don't notice or care when sidewalks are impassable via wheelchair you can save the breath it would take you to claim you are "gonna oppose nazis." I don't believe you have the strength of character to do so.

Anyone else notice Collateral Global (GBD successor org) has scrubbed Bhattacharya (GBD author) and Bardosh (CG Director, funded by the Conly-Heneghan "EVIDENCE Collaborative") off their site? Burying COIs to make it easier for Bhattacharya to funnel money stripped out of the NIH budget to them?

so this is why we’re all wearing masks in st the very least indoor public spaces right that’s what opposition implies here right? that people didn’t have to die? don’t? becuase we live in a shared reality where this airborne virus is a problem?

nothing like investigating a little body quirk and finding out that too is often lupus related

Many folks are returning to masking regularly as US healthcare infrastructure shudders under corruption and collapse; as you find the one that works for you, have you ever tried these ones? What’s your favorite mask? How do you style it?

hey what’s up i looked cute at the gig this weekend 🙂‍↕️📸✨

If you're wondering about if this important vaccine advisory committee meeting is still happening, it's not. @helenbranswell.bsky.social with the scoop www.statnews.com/2025/02/20/a...

Will more Long Covid advocates/organizations be more vocal about holding the current administration accountable, rather than trying to cozy up to RFK Jr, who has made vague statements on caring about Long Covid?

there’s this antimask belief i still see to this day that masking is immunosuppressive, to which i, baffled, respond: would it not, then, as a person with lupus, still be good for me? if my immune system is pathologically overactive, how would [to be clear, pseudoscientific] reductions harm me?

Memory is one of our most critical resources in movement and remembering what came before is more vital than ever. It is necessary for not only learning how to fight, but for building a vision of what could be

Five major airlines are suing to overturn a rule from then-Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg that actually holds airlines accountable for damaging disabled people's wheelchairs. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

🏳️‍⚧️ ATTENTION FEDS 🏳️‍⚧️ The trump administration is trying to erase transgender people. We were all ordered to remove pronouns from our email signatures. In solidarity with our transgender friends, erase your entire signature block. If they can't show who they are, none of us shows who we are.

Worth triple the price.

Have information you think the public should know about the Census Bureau or other parts of the federal government? I'm a @npr.org correspondent who's available via the encrypted messaging app Signal at hansi.01

slept for about 12hrs yesterday. wish i could do it again. sometimes i think about the lupus foundation stat that only like 11% of people with lupus have full time jobs. i have a full time job and multiple part time commitments. im gonna sleep a little more before work now.

I've been writing BLOOD IN THE MACHINE for months, but I was on the fence about going all-in. Recent events have made the call easier. Elon Musk, the Silicon Valley oligarchs and their AI are taking over. I want to do all I can to push back. I hope you'll join me, and I'm asking for your support.

It’s interesting to think about the GW Bush and Obama push to privatize space travel and human space activity and how that’s lined Elon Musk’s pockets and what he’s doing with that capital now

the harmful policies of this administration will be reproduced within your body— which will thus go on to impact others— unless you make a conscious effort to prevent them. wear a mask.

i repeat myself: when we say “you can become disabled at any moment” it doesn’t just mean you could have an aneurysm, it also means the state could declare you “unfit”— in need of “reparent”ing— for things recently considered normal.
