I joined @ayman.msnbc.com last night to discuss Mahmoud Khalil, the attack on our First Amendment rights and why Democrats are desperate for leaders with courage.

I have never seen anything like this unified outrage at the Democratic Party leadership. Feels like this could be the start of something important.

Andrew Cuomo gave nursing home CEOs legal immunity from lawsuits amid the COVID massacre, as he raked in cash from health care industry donors. Now that thousands of New York City residents are dead, he’s asking voters to reward him with the mayoralty. www.levernews.com/investigatio...

One day someone will get creative and figure out how to educate educators to clean the air in indoor spaces so those working within the walls don’t lose their faculties to think and learn to be creative. h/t @joeallenjoe.bsky.social

Neurons are cool, but have you ever seen the choroid plexus? The choroid plexus (in cyan) is a highly vascularized collection of cells inside the brain's ventricles. It produces spinal fluid (CSF) and forms a barrier between the blood🔴, CSF, and brain tissue🟣! #FluorescenceFriday part 2 🔬🤓

If you are trying to compare SARS-CoV-2 to other viruses, you shouldn't. Al-Aly was skeptical of his own data. That one virus can cause this much mayhem all over the body. He kept running the data, and it always came back the same.

Imagine if flight attendants handed out free N95 masks before take off instead of just hot towels. Every public place is a key opportunity to educate people and normalize masks.

Kids have been back doing school in-person since Fall 2020. That was 4 years ago. My kid was a toddler when the pandemic started. They did in-person preschool, kindergarten and are now in Grade 1. t.co/txL2pVhwvz

There are millions of #Covid aware people trying to avoid Covid but we are not united & lack a driving force organization. Petitions & email requests gathering a few dozen won’t move anything. 100,000 or more will. HICPAC, newspaper, magazine, congress, etc Lets DO SOMETHING MORE than like posts.

Over the last week there have been fires in public parks in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and all around the NYC/NJ area, and it's November! Climate change is causing longer and more frequent droughts, increasing wildfire risks throughout the year, including in urban areas.

Remember 5 months ago when Finland quietly started vaccinating their population, even without having any #H5N1 cases? I have to quote @tryangregory.bsky.social here: "No one could have foreseen this".

Reminder: Masks protect against all types of airborne viruses. If another pandemic starts, masks will be a key first line of defense, especially as we won't have a vaccine right away.

Donald Trump’s comment about “enemies from within” is pulled straight out of Adolf Hitler’s playbook. Same with his “vermin” comment and his remark about “poisoning the blood” of America. It’s very clear where he’s getting his rhetoric. Media must acknowledge that reality.

The correct answer to why many Americans feel the country is on the wrong track is that we are. We have Trump’s SCOTUS rolling back established precedents, stripping away rights, and preventing federal action to address the crises we face, including GOP state level efforts to infringe on freedoms.

Democrats at the DNC convention keep claiming “COVID no longer controls our lives.” What scientists say: The global incidence of Long COVID is ~400 million individuals, which is estimated to have an annual economic impact of approximately $1 trillion. #DNCConvention2024

DNC bosses would rather risk Trump winning than lose their power over the party — and they know they’ll still be enriched if Trump wins & the country burns.

Neoliberalism isn’t an ideology so much as it is an excuse for politicians to suck up to the most powerful interests in America.

@davidsirota.com I am a big fan of you and The Lever. That is why I was shocked that you just blocked my Twitter account: @oxbits I am hoping this was done in error. I was actually crafting a tweet defending you against naysayers when I realized I had been blocked.

Millions lack paid sick leave. There are 2 ways CDC can address this in its COVID-19 quarantine guidance. 1) Go with 10 days bc science. Recommend paid sick leave to put pressure on the govt and employers to protect workers. 2) Roll back timeline, citing political realities, and hurt workers.
