Seriously though, what’s going to happen to our IEP and 504 kids? #SpecialEducation

Awful. Long Covid and ME/CFS are interconnected. This work needs more funding, not less. It's ridiculous that antisemitism, which I have done so much work to expose and fight against over the years, is being used by wannabe Nazis as a false pretext to destroy this kind of research.

I hear you. I see you. I care. #LongCovidAwarenessDay #LongCovidAwarenessDay2025

i do NOT have anything nice to say about charles schumer

If you vote for this Republican Funding Bill, you are complicit in all that DOGE, President Elon, and Trump does.

gavin newsom: thanks for joining us on the pod today…now childcare is obviously difficult, do you have any suggestions? casey anthony: so many

Ya’ll pre-teens are MEAN 😭

Hi, @governorferguson.bsky.social - I sent this to your office. No reply yet, so I’ll ask here too: what is the plan for special needs kids in WA once Trump nukes the Dept. of Ed. (now) and inevitably stops enforcing federal protections for those on 504s and IEPs? #Autism #WA

5 years ago today, COVID-19 was officially declared a global pandemic.

First, it was bathrooms, then sports, and now they’re getting to what they really wanted — the complete erasure of the trans community. Also, if you think this is going to stop at trans people, you are deeply mistaken.

so my gf and I have ten days to find a place to live if anyone has any leads in or around seattle

It’s clear that the leadership of the Democratic Party is absolutely fucking worthless and has no grasp of the moment they are in.

New York Times: “30 Charts That Show How Everything Changed…in March 2020” “The number of people reporting a disability soared. Many Americans struggled with long Covid and reported cognitive issues like “brain fog” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

On one hand, things are pretty bleak and every time I open the times app to read the news it’s like being punched in the face. On the other hand….THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES ARE BACK TONIGHT YALL

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism. But what the autistic people in your life hear when you spread that widely debunked misinformation is that you would prefer to have a child die a painful death from eradicated communicable disease than to be like them. Oh, and that’s bullshit. Hope this helps!

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. - sincerely, parent of an autistic child that is so over this bullshit

It’s pretty interesting that both Tim Walz and Gavin Newsom are clearly positioning themselves to run for President and one thought he should publicize that he’s having diplomatic conversations with Canadian provinces close to Minnesota and the other thought he should publicize that he sucks

Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

Sitting there with your little paddles and not leaving or interrupting this bullshit only grants it the veneer of normalcy. This isn’t normal. And if you value decorum over the lives of trans people, over the destruction of democracy, go find another job. We don’t need you.

As clear a sign as any that congressional Dems either don’t fully grasp or are incapable of confronting the constitutional crisis.

They are selling our country for parts.

Big "I can see Russia from my backyard" vibes. Also if I had an alcoholic beverage every time this useless woman was "very concerned," y'all would have been attending my funeral years ago.

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education. I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”. Here is a portion:

Paradise, Rainier NPS @altnps.bsky.social @resistancerangers.bsky.social

We had an earthquake! M4.5 5:02AM PST in the San Juan Islands area. Federally-funded USGS ShakeAlert notified via Google and @myshakeapp.bsky.social. This is a typical EQ for this area and small aftershocks are normal. Plz fill out DYFI earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/... if you felt anything!

yesterday’s false spring was 🙌🏼 #Seattle

no day would be completely without a side eye from my #corgi

This was downgraded to a 2.9. Unlikely many folks outside the Bremerton area would have felt this earthquake. But if you did, use this link to tell scientists. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

A child in Texas died from measles — the first measles death in the U.S. in a decade. The child wasn't vaccinated.

Blake Lively on her colleague Michelle Trachtenberg who passed away at 39.

RIP Michelle Trachtenberg. i have a lot of fond nostalgia associated with her, and also she and I are the same age so this news hit a little different.

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky

Vice President of Google, Royal Hansen, shares a heartbreaking account of Long COVID & his son. “…the medical and scientific developments directed at Long COVID and other post-viral syndromes are emerging at different paces…there is so much more to be done..”

Look at this leader. Lift her up.

Breaking: Diana Taurasi has announced she is retiring from basketball, she told TIME.

Dark and stormy night ahead! Prepare for heavy rain and gusty winds—near 50 mph in the Seattle area. At this time of year, that’s usually not enough to cause widespread power outages as trees are bare/weaker branches have already fallen. We’ll see.

some #Seattle scenes from the last couple of days

Hey King & Pierce counties. Did you feel this early morning earthquake? Let scientists know at this link earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Fortune: 'DOGE shut the funding spigot for medical research overnight. Scientists are calling it ‘the end of science’ in America' 'Recently, the medical research communities saw their livelihoods flash before their eyes...' fortune.com/2025/02/21/d...

It’s been a long fucking day, I’m tired, and I misspoke. Let me rephrase it in a more correct way. Fuck Hakeem Jeffries and almost every other elected Democratic official for forcing me to be the one to get arrested instead of them doing their goddamn job and being leaders.

Washington Post: 'Trump ends a federal committee focused on long covid' “I am now concerned that our government is retreating from its commitment to addressing long covid and that patients will be negatively impacted by this decision,” the committee member said.
