“I just didn’t want to accept my career was ending… because of COVID… a virus so out of my control… eventually I got to a point where I was like, I’m 15 months in, I’m still housebound, still mostly bedbound, unable to do most basic things.” #LongCovid thesicktimes.org/2026/04/28/p...

“It was a day that highlighted how far the Roberts court has gone to advance the chief justice’s long-term animosity toward the Voting Rights Act, paired with yet another request from the Trump administration to expand executive power.” My report on Wednesday at SCOTUS:

Important content.

Today's ruling on the VRA isn't just about Congress. VRA protections applied to countless local elections. In Western TN, Black residents used the VRA to defeat election maps that weakened Black voting power and had kept the 19-seat Fayette County Board entirely White: boltsmag.org/voting-right...

This is so terrible. The third country removals are human rights catastrophes; South Americans fleeing persecution in their homes, then being dumped in Kinshasa and told they can’t stay and must go… somewhere. Preferably right back to where they fled.

by my tally we are now spending ~$2B to companies to NOT build more energy infrastructure. in the middle of an energy crisis

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics. Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time. This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

Idk how many people will know what I'm talking about but-- I'd buy one of those metal vats (hydrocollator) for heating pads that they have at some physical therapy places. The moist heat is soooo goooood for my muscles. I have a big electric heating pad that i use regularly but it's not the same.

This is NUTS www.thehandbasket.co/p/trump-usai...

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

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.

Three Democratic members of Congress said they were horrified that immigrants were being stuffed into holding cells “like sardines” at a Mesa ICE holding facility they showed up to without warning on Thursday night.

lol c'mon man, the protestors sure weren't shooting *each other* Where else could a high-velocity projectile be coming from? The only people holding weapons of that type were the feds. I should know. I was there, standing across the street, watching the feds shoot indiscriminately into the crowd

We reviewed hundreds of pages of ICE death reports, autopsies, and other records from 32 deaths with a total of 14 doctors. Doctors determined that at least 17 times, people died after medical staff delayed or failed to provide critical care that might have saved their lives

What a result: A Democratic-backed candidate has won the mayoral election in Waukesha, the biggest city in the notoriously conservative Waukesha County. Alicia Halvensleben will be the next mayor. She defeated a GOP state lawmaker.

A second photographer in Los Angeles lost an eye to law enforcement "less-lethal" munitions while just taking pictures at protests. These weapons are supposed to be used ONLY for immediate violent threats. Marshall Woodruff and now Tucker Collins were armed with nothing but a camera.

Time to get serious cuz I got less than 10 days to get this funded cuz tax deadline is coming up and so is my eye surgery. I've been busy as heck with doc appts, tight deadlines and just got home this weekend from doing some amazing heartwork in Nebraska. ko-fi.com/johnniejae/g...

From the 1970s to 2018, Louisiana’s ‘Angola’ prison was notorious for suicides, fighting, extreme heat & isolation. After its closure, it served as housing for incarcerated individuals infected with COVID-19, then Gov. Jeff Landry reopened the unit to hold immigrants, @vevalenz.bsky.social reports.

"But widespread layoffs, hiring freezes and resignations have shrunk the number of qualified scientists who can assist state labs...By July, the rabies team will be down to just one person with the clinical expertise to advise state and local officials, and the pox virus team will have none."

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.
