The leading cause of death among ICE officers? COVID-19.

With inequality at Gilded Age levels and more billionaires than ever, the Republican message is poor people have it too good

🔥NYT: “Trump is the Jan. 6th president… It was a turning point toward an even more lawless version of Trump… people who violently attacked Congress & beat officers escaped w/o lasting consequence… Tragically, 🇺🇸 is still living in that political era…” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/o...

Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea. All good.

Yesterday, Georgia Representative Buddy Carter introduced the Moving American Money Distant from Anti-National Interests (MAMDANI) Act, to defund NYC as long as Zohran Mamdani is mayor. The GOP is attacking American cities and democracy itself. How long can we pretend this isn't a civil war?

I needed some perspective today

Democratic socialist candidates are looking to gain ground in various city governments this fall, including Cleveland and Detroit, as well as New York City. Learn more in our guide to the key elections to watch this fall.

If only physicians/dentists/etc would regain trust by having visible air cleaners, wearing snug N95 masks, staying home when sick, and asking everyone else to do the same.

SARS-CoV-2 is a very efficient virus. We are horribly underestimating it.

Most people prefer to have no awareness regarding Covid-19. Having no awareness results in having no understanding, and having no understanding results in heedlessly accepting the lasting damage caused by repeated infections. #COVID19

I believe that every human life has an absolute value, and is worthy of being shielded from harm. That belief is reason enough for me to wear a respirator mask in all public spaces during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19, to avoid being an enabler of illness and mortality. #COVID19 #respirator

I settle into bed with a book. the window is open, and it's cool and rainy outside 👌🏻👌🏻

There has never been a better opportunity for Democrats to come out pro-military. The military has skewed republican for a long time, but Trump and Hegseth just shook military leadership, and many soldiers, HARD. Now is the time to let them know that Democrats care for them

I mask for My community Compassion Common sense Unfortunately the world has gone to shit and misinformation prevails.

I keep seeing long threads where people do complex math to justify unmasking, calculating their own risk of illness 🧮 But almost never, "Hey what's the risk to the person beside me at the pharmacy?" We’ve individualized public health to death

Masking in public isn't just about protecting yourself, but about protecting high-risk people around you too. If we want to build a collectivist society rather than this hyper-individualistic "you do you" nonsense we see in the West, we have to be the change we want to see

When someone tells you they aren’t into politics or that they aren’t affected by politics… (h/t NATO Green) #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence. If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Coming to your city or town soon.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Got my performance review.

Lots of coughing & sniffles going on around you? Stay purr-fectly protected by wearing a mask! 😷🐈 Wearing a high-quality N95 mask protects you from respiratory viruses like flu, COVID-19 and RSV. 📲 https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/Respiratory-Viruses/When-and-Why-to-Wear-a-Mask.aspx

COVID-19 cases are still high, so be sure to know the facts and avoid the myths in order to protect yourself and others.

Congratulations to OpenAeros on the release of this evolutionary open source instrument. Lab-grade results with open source flexibility and accountability, all at a lower cost that current CPCs in its class. Someday I hope to get my hands on one :-)

she also complimented the mask chain. i think there is something to a deliberateness the chain implies in a similar way that matching a mask to an outfit does; people are aware the base level accessible mask is like papery & blue, so the further you deviate the more that creates a signal to others.

"This is, at the moment, the official voice of the US government: a rancid mixture of trolling, cruelty, propaganda, and crass jokes about the human suffering they’re creating."

I will continue to take precautions against COVID because I know what this does. I'm not living in fear -- I'm living in knowledge. Knowledge that this current episode of COVID will have lasting repercussions.

I cannot overemphasize how rare it is for both a) a grand jury to return no true bill and b) a reporter to get around grand jury secrecy rules to confirm it

This is absurd. The mpox/monkeypox vaccines are already paid for & there are major outbreaks in several African countries. Couldn't they just hand the doses over to WHO or GAVI or Gates Fdtn or some other entity to distribute? www.reuters.com/business/hea...

The N95 dispenser is by the checkout desk (as of 7/25/25). Just ask them if you can't find it (checkout clerk: "It's not super easy to see") and they'll help get you set up with N95s!

I’m fully vaccinated but I still mask in public indoor spaces. Because COVID sucks. For me and everyone around me.

Hi my dear masking friends! Just a reminder that I will ship out 5 free N95s with every order from my Masking Is Hot collection (if requested), as long as supplies last. Mask Up, Save Lives. Thanks for supporting a queer neurospicy artist with LC 😷 qrco.de/bg5srz

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Please make sure you do the following as quickly as possible, especially if you are immunocompromised: 1. Get every vaccine you need 2. Buy some high-quality masks (KF94, KN95 or N95). These fools that Kennedy just appointed are going to cause the reemergence of vaccine-preventable disease.
