Washington State Ferries 😍😍😍

Maybe this makes me a communist, but I think they should have to file these reports before the election, not after.

Follow the amazing award-winning Erica!!

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. These dragon convertible bags can be worn as a backpack, crossbody bag, waist bag and can be hooked up to a wheelchair & other mobility aids!! They are high quality! Store: Bibipins.com

only the cops: a) give out medals when people do their jobs (aren't we always hearing how they put themselves in danger every day?) b) use audio of a DV victim screaming and crying because her kids have been taken to really sell the heroism c) reward someone for literally running onto a freeway

This may seem minor but I find robot voices dehumanizing so I welcome this change.

Sound Transit now has human announcements 😍 A real person recorded them for us to enjoy! No more dystopian robot!!

It's difficult to express how much I would prefer better shoes to more AI

the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.

The feds are moving forward with plans to wall off the Big Bend region. Some reports say walls are "off the table" in the state park, but DHS hasn't canceled construction contracts or restored the legal protections they stripped. Nobody is crossing here. Look at those cliffs.

I believe this is the first video we’ve seen of a family getting deported on a commercial flight - Delta Air Lines out of Seattle, in this case.

So they'll be mandating sufficient HEPA filtration in schools as well right? Because otherwise this sounds like punishing kids for catching covid in schools that are perfectly designed for spreading airborne disease.

Health ads: “Fatigued? Brain Fog? Your labs might explain it” Me, with long COVID: “that’s adorable”

Clavicular, the Looksmaxxing guy that is only 20 years old and a complete mess, OD'd on his Kick live. He's in the hospital. This is who's out there influencing kids. We need some serious mental healthcare in this country.

SPOG is pressing Mayor Wilson for an increase in surveillance resources, despite 20 CCTV cameras set to be installed in the Stadium District ahead of the World Cup this June. For months, constituents have expressed the harm surveillance inflicts, with hopes of getting cameras turned off completely.

COVID can damage the brain stem & leads to "Ondine’s Curse" signs: failures in automatic breathing, dysautonomia, cognitive decline, even death. The brain doesn’t always bounce back. Protect your health. 😷 Jason Gale's report: www.asrn.org/journal-adva... ANN: www.instagram.com/p/DXIdZTOEei...

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Since bacon was already taken, I'll go with my #2 literally and figuratively. Ground beef. Hamburger, cheeseburger, meatloaf, all of that makes me violently ill an hour or two after eating. Anything you can imagine is likely correct and I'll leave it there 🍔

I’ve been a vegetarian for almost 20 years so I don’t remember the taste of meat, but the smell that comes from cooking bacon makes me nauseous

Your goal should always be to keep the risk of infection low because every infection carries risks you don’t want. Source: x.com/1goodtern/st...

I had no idea that Deaf people helped NASA figure out the key to stopping astronauts from being violently ill due to weightlessness!

The economy is fake. Everything about it. Smoke and mirrors all the way down.

Not treating as a priority undersells just how little interest governments have to this problem. It's not even a concern to them, governments prefer to cover it up and the medical profession is happy with that, they've been doing this for a long time. No government takes this seriously. None.

Grateful and excited about this endorsement. It means a lot to me to have such a thoughtful leader support this campaign!

Remember all those split images of beautiful clean air that came during the covid lockdown? I wonder if we can turn the current oil blockade into a similar moment. Then, we would have something to thank Trump for (even though it's the opposite of what he wants!)

Wear An N95

Racism is one helluva lethal drug, tho:

FYSA, the lead story is not "current GenXers brains are bad because lead", it's that lead poisoning disproportionately impacted poor and minority communities and those voters died younger. Also AIDS killed a lot of young progressive GenXers.

Defund the Police is a good slogan, actually.

We’re in year 7 of COVID, and a lot has changed. We now understand far more about its long-term impact on the body and how infections can build over time. If you’ve been rethinking your approach to protection, you’re not alone, and it’s not too late to start again.

Agree about the trauma, but it can't be a hangover when people are still being disabled by long Covid & dying of the acute virus & its downstream organ/cardio damage. We're still drunk

So many liberals want to believe Trump is the end all be all of the fascist movement in this county. The even more fascist right has already been criticizing him for years. He is not the end. Don’t bury your head in the sand.

From the president of J-Street, folks. He thinks the US should still sell arms to Israel to protect their civilians while they slaughter tens of thousands of innocent civilians and commit genocide.

Journalists know that losing the Wayback Machine would be a nightmare: www.wired.com/story/the-in...

Thirty percent of all hospitals in Oregon now refuse to provide lifesaving medical treatment to trans people. Not just gender affirming care to minors. They discriminate against ALL Trans people.

Around 20% of hospital beds in the US are in Christianist facilities, most Catholic, that have happily been denying reproductive health care and gender-affirming care for decades AND enjoying a nonprofit status. Most people don't realize the stranglehold the church has until it's too late.

Tell your Senators to sign the Dear Colleague letter in support of ME/CFS research funding. Contact them by April 15th with our easy-to-use action tool here: https://solvecfs.quorum.us/campaign/157943/

Per the CDC, there’s at least 3 million Americans w/ #MyalgicEncepahomyelitis and over 20 M Americans w/ the extremely similar—some would say identical— #LongCovid. Over 200 symptoms. So far, no treatment or cure. We NEED increased research funding.

Do you know a journalist who fits the bill? The Rosa Luxemburg Journalism Fellowship will award one $30,000 fellowship to an early to mid-career journalist w/a history of progressive writing who lacks institutional support to do their journalistic work. Deadline to apply is April 20 at 11:59 pm ET.

The **ONLY** way to avoid long COVID is to avoid getting infected. The most reliable way to do that is consistently wearing N95 respirator in **ALL** shared-air spaces. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
