(1/3) I’m a few days into the three week pain management program at the Mayo Clinic. I’ve had a headache every day since I got COVID a year ago and I’m starting to realize this pain may not go away.

It looks like there is a good possibility that the U.S. will not have flu shots for Fall 2025. People will die because Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cannot admit he has been lying about vaccines for two decades. People will die because the Republicans in the Senate are vile, power-drunk cowards.

Rep. Jim McGovern: "Last night every single Republican voted NO to protect Medicaid & to ensure kids are fed. Every. Single. One." NEVER FORGET! Hunger is STILL a dangerous issue in America. The GOP want to control a woman's UTERUS, but could care less about the child once it's born. So DISGUSTING!

Pritzker: "We're talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That's what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. And we're seeing today that we've got an administration in Washington that's ignoring court orders."

Who's Showing Up to Vote in the Senate? Not John Fetterman open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

Senator Chris Murphy is totally on-point: Republicans are in the midst of a massive transfer of wealth to billionaires, while gutting Medicaid from children, seniors, veterans & people with disabilities. People WILL suffer & DIE. All for the TAX BREAKS. CALL YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS. 202-224-3121

The first reaction to this news should be concern about the future of voting by mail www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Next time someone tells you Covid is just the flu, remember the flu has killed ~16K people in the U.S. alone this season. Including kids 💔

Health is political When Biden & the world said Covid was over, there were consequences

If you're a so-called leftist making fun of Covid informed folks, congratulations, you've capitulated to end-stage capitalism

Mark my words: if The Democrats do not ban corporate and dark money from the primary process, Elon Musk will start to spend money in Democratic primaries in 2026 and beyond.

While everyone is focused on what DOGE is doing, Elon Musk is quietly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on an April Wisconsin Supreme Court race. This race could have electoral consequences in future elections, like 2028 in a crucial swing state. Pay attention.

Democrats need to act with the same urgency they email us for money. They need to get corporate and dark money out of the primary process.

Tell the Board of Supervisors: Restore Remote Public Comment in SF! We need access to democratic participation for ALL – not just those that can make it to City Hall in the middle of the day. Write them a letter at bit.ly/RPC-SF

Thanks for speaking out about the irresponsible conference #Stanford University held on #LongCovid, @pjavidan.bsky.social stanforddaily.com/2025/02/13/s...

Really comprehensive and brutal description of what’s going on at US science agencies by @dereklowe.bsky.social. Read to the end: because this doesn’t need to continue, the rest is not inevitable. We can fight back.

DOGE is "the logical end point of a strain of thought that’s become popular in Silicon Valley...that building software and writing code aren’t just dominant skills for the 21st century, but proof of competence in any realm" www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Wow, never been long-quoted in a Substack before. Cheers John! johndupuis.substack.com/p/covid-stil... @dupuisj.bsky.social

I work in the office carrying out the government purge. Here’s what I want you to know.

This is like FDR's famous "100 days" -- except that FDR was trying to fix the Great Depression, whereas Trump is trying to start one.

OK, "Reclaim the Treasury Payment System" isn't a great rallying cry for getting the masses out in the streets. But if you're in the media and not writing about Musk's ongoing coup and not screaming, "Fire!," then you are doing it wrong Here's my howl. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

The logic of the coup that is going on now. And how to resist it. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

I don’t know if this is the plan. But if it is, let me rain on that parade. Elon will never allow Democrats to win the mid-terms. If the plan is not to get him out of our govt systems now, it’s a wrap.

Masking while biking: - stops particulate pollution - stops your face getting cold - stops you swallowing insects AND stops you inhaling virus while stopped at busy intersections alongside coughing strangers!

Thank you @lieslmcconchie.bsky.social for building and taking over 400 air filters up to LA today!!

"That’s the term that defined the displacement and death of tens of thousands of native Americans. It was used to justify slavery. It’s about the most openly racist thing I’ve heard a president say in my lifetime." 48hills.org/2025/01/mani...

Protest “Walk for Life” invasion of #sanfrancisco on Saturday January 25! We support the annual rockin’ rally from noon to 2pm on library steps at 100 Larkin near civic center. Show up and show we are #prochoice and stand up for #reproductiverights #abortionrights #reproductivejustice

Does San Francisco need to close public schools? No. The problems go *far* deeper. Per a previously confidential report: “Basic information available with a single ‘click’ in any comparable organization takes hours or days to produce...” missionlocal.org/2024/12/san-...

"The ‘moderates’ got *their* candidate in every single election in which the Republicans nominated Trump: 2016 Clinton, 2020 Biden, 2024 Harris… and they lost to Trump two out of three times. And now they’re going to blame *the left* for that? No f*cking way." My rant:

Creator of the Olympic Black Power Statue on the campus of #sjsu #sanjosestateuniversity has a new statue in honor of #leonardpeltier. See it here and honor the political prisoner of the American Indian Movement Nov 29 in #santacruz 1817 Soquel Ave 4 to 9 pm. Music plus more!

Covid is a social justice issue. Staying covid safe in the “you do you” era costs money. Respirators, tests, isolation, hepa filters & vaccines… the costs add up and are out of reach for many. Long Covid is also a social justice issue. Have no safety net? Chronic illness will be harder 🧵

1. California's Dept of Public Health reports a #birdflu case in a child with no known contact with infected animals. They're looking into possible wild bird exposure. Oddly, the press release doesn't say which type of bird flu (there are many). I'm assuming #H5N1. Specimen being sent to #CDC.

Did you develop Long Covid after dropping precautions bc you believed the Great Barrington Declaration that young people will be fine if they get Covid-19? Please be in touch at [email protected] for a potential @motherjones.com article and reposts are appreciated.

When people talk about the devastation from COVID, they usually cite the number of people who died (7 million, 20 million, 30 million) or the economic cost ($14 trillion, $35 trillion, etc) but this pales in comparison to the true cost, something most people do not understand or talk about:

😒 “Try not to breathe on people” is the medical advice given to their millions of viewers. 5 years into ongoing airborne pandemic it is bananas that all these media docs are either so terrified or incompetent they won’t even suggest wearing a mask

I need people to understand this. Far too many folks think that if healthcare workers aren’t masking - it means the threat has passed. No - it means they’re resistant to change. It took decades to get them to adopt handwashing - and the person who advocated for it was written off as mentally ill

Guy behind me in line at CVS asked if I was immune-suppressed or just cautious. I told him I like not getting sick. He said wearing a mask "didn't help," then seem surprised when I told him I have not been sick in 5 years 😷
