Sincere Q for public health friends about one change in particular among RFK’s childhood vaccine recommendations: I understand many of these are very reckless. Is the HPV change (from two doses to one) among them? I had the idea credible evidence was emerging to suggest one may be as good as 2-3?

If you live alone and deal with a chronic health condition, I just want you to know there are small volunteer-run online spaces where people check in on each other and help reduce isolation. There are also some apps available. #CovidCautious #LongCovid #ChronicallyIll #SoloLiving #YouAreNotAlone

One hundred thousand people a year and y'all using past tense when you talk about Covid now jfc

I am fucking begging all of you to wear masks. Please don't be one of the hundred thousand people to die a year.

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican. He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

Does clean air matter to you? Please help push this agenda by signing this petition to the Toronto Board of Health to direct Toronto Public Health to adopt Health Canada’s new IAQ Guidance! You don’t need to live in Toronto to sign! Takes less than 1 minute. cleanindoorairto.ca

Lab-grown mini muscles showed that blood from people with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and Long COVID can directly weaken and damage muscle cells. The muscles first tried to adapt their energy use, then became fragile and lost strength.

Podcasters & social media folks - take a look at this opportunity to do important work with amazing humans!

Yes one thousand times yes! Absolutely yes! Please share this piece!

I know people believe that the Democrats are in the minority and can't do anything. I would encourage you to read about how, in fact, minority parties can be disruptive. If they want to be. You don't even have to read. You can just see how the Republicans acted during the Obama years.

It's possible to just do things. To just begin. It takes some people [who usually won't get paid], some ideas and a way to raise a small amount of money.

For example, @librariesftp.bsky.social started with 5 of us, all volunteers. No money [we still have none but we sell tshirts to raise a small amount & rely on in kind donations for the rest], and we very much punch above our weight. Many people think we're a staffed nonprofit. But nope.

I believe today is Emily Mendenhall's release date for "Invisible Illness: A History, from Hysteria to Long COVID First Edition" Looking forward to reading this! 📚 📚 📚 h/t @emendenhall.bsky.social

A group of #severeME patients are trying to save Daryna, a young woman from #Ukraine with severe #MECFS, from the bombs & negligence. We want to take her as #refugee to #Germany. We find no help from anyone, including associations & NGO. Would you volunteer to help? Contact me. #pwME

Just putting this out into the universe: If you are someone who has been collecting/hoarding greeting cards and have realized you’ll never use them, would you send them to me? I’ve embarked on a project to send my mom as many greeting cards in 2026 as I possibly can. ✨

I've been asked if you should call your electeds on this more than once. The answer is "yes, absolutely" — call every day. We are genuinely at risk of invading Greenland & blowing up NATO, murdering the leadership of Mexico, Colombia, and Cuba

For a @motherjones.com article, I am looking to speak to caregivers of disabled individuals who are 14 and older who are on Medicaid re Medicaid work requirement exemptions. My email to reach out is [email protected] and reposts are appreciated.

The authors propose that ME/CFS involves a chronic down-regulation of vasopressin (essentially, the body is consistently underproducing this critical hormone). This could be an important driving factor behind key symptoms of the illness.

New research finds people with ME/CFS have a striking deficiency in vasopressin - a hormone that helps the body retain water. This could explain common symptoms like constant thirst and dizziness upon standing. Let's break down the findings.

Caring Majority Rising is thrilled to announce that we are endorsing Antonio Delgado for Governor of New York State! 🧵 Here's why he's our pick:

We can't believe we have to say this so early in 2026, but here we go: VACCINES WORK. VACCINES SAVE LIVES.

As of late I’ve been trying to say “on site” rather than “in person”. And “remote” rather than “virtual”. It’s not serving anyone, I don’t think, to foster the idea that online doesn’t also involve real persons.

This thread sparked a good discussion. One thing I'm taking away from this is that many of y'all NEED MUTUAL AID YOURSELVES. So many people here are struggling and asking how they can give back while they're broke and sick and caring for children or elderly family BY THEMSELVES without community.

Sincere question and I hope we can make a safe place for this discussion, are there people out there who feel like they don't know how to get involved and make a difference? What do you feel like the barriers are for you getting involved in organizing? Have you tried and failed?

It’s like, prob not strategic to talk about on here, but whew, the folks I know who don’t mask but are posting new year’s fitness goals and crowded gym photos 🫠 I’ve come to accept many ppl work out primarily for vanity reasons so that is what it is, but language around health/longevity gets to me

“Online bad” is such a boring opinion.

As one of the people stuck behind a screen, I endorse this message.

So many organizers I know and respect are no longer able to be on the front lines in the streets or at the doors due to getting Long Covid. There’s still much people can do behind a screen and on the phone, but it’s not the same. SOMEONE still needs to be in field. Protect field capacity: Mask & vax

Important safety update among the info synthesized here: "...these analyses do not demonstrate an increased risk of suicidal ideation with use of GLP-1 medicines, with the majority of analyses revealing a similar or lower risk for incident or recurrent suicidal ideation..." doi.org/10.1038/s415...

“U.S. District Judge Stephen J. Murphy III wrote that the facility is “infested with mold” that eats through brick and metal, drips from ceilings, and falls from air vents.”

It is the most bizarre feeling to sit in a doctor's office wearing an N95 and be asked if I'm sick by a maskless nurse who can't stop sniffing. Please, please mask in healthcare settings.

Covid is a class issue.

Medscape: Long-Time NINDS Director Walter Koroshetz Terminated 'The NINDS Director had periodically been criticized, particularly by those with long COVID or myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, for what they saw as a disregard for these conditions' www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

If you're a 55-64 year old who is retired due to health issues who is struggling to get SNAP work requirement exemptions, please get in touch for a @motherjones.com piece. My email is [email protected]. I can potentially use first name only.

Such important advice. Just to spell it out I think this also goes for the Long Covid advocacy factory and Twitter drama. It’s burning out a lot of our best advocates even if some of the shit-stirrers seem to have endless energy for it.

Today, Trump also threatened Mexico. And Cuba. And Columbia. This CTA is freely shareable, it doesn't require a Patreon account to access; consider sending it to your normie friends who don't know how to call their electeds before we fully tip over into the unthinkable

Interesting reanalysis of the TREATME data weighted for effect size. However, it was done with AI and not systematically checked for accuracy, so it may not be reliable. It’s an interesting concept tho. #MECFS #LongCovid

In a study following 23 million people age 18-59 (pretty young) for 4 years…despite the fact that the ones who got the COVID vaccine were overall older and sicker at baseline, they not only had 74% lower risk of dying from COVID than the unvaccinated but 25% lower risk of dying from any other cause!

"Overall, 14 % of toddlers in the pre-pandemic group were at high risk for developmental delays on the BSID-III compared with 51.6 % in the SARS-CoV-2 exposed group." 😭

We've been focused on childhood vaccination lately due to RFK Jr.'s crusade against them, but vaccines given in adulthood are crucial too. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/h...

Hoping the pivotal finding of increased inflammation with #LongCovid will be responsive to tirzepatide (Zepbound) in our ongoing 1,000+ participant randomized, placebo-controlled trial (full enrollment completed in <1 month!) www.nature.com/articles/s41... @natimmunol.nature.com

Second covid booster recommended by CDC for adults 65 and older and those who are moderately or severely immunocompromised "Individuals do not need documentation to prove immunocompromised status, and vaccinators are explicitly instructed not to deny vaccination" for lack of documentation.

Thank you to everyone protesting! Thank you to everyone calling their Congress members!
