Tear gas can cause long-term health consequences by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses, including COVID. The chemical agent can also hurt people inside their homes if it seeps into residential neighborhoods. What you need to know (published 2020):

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

Happy May Day!

Every morning I read the news and something else reminds me of Robert Musil saying in 1930s Germany that one of the defining aspects of fascism was the mockery of compassion

An important lesson from Jean-Luc Picard that I’m still sharing all these years later.

I look forward to the Supreme Court decision next month that the President has summary powers of life and death over all Americans but also tariffs are unconstitutional.

Yeah I’m gonna get the Switch 2! Switch to playing with a cup and ball. Very affordable. Made domestically.

Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing. Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.

i will comfort myself in the MAGA reeducation camps with the knowledge that i at least got this shit right

Elon Musk Fails in Attempt to Buy Wisconsin Supreme Court as Judge Susan Crawford Beats Brad Schimel

"The COVID-conscious people have not abandoned science, It’s the opposite: They’ve come to think that science has abandoned them." People who are taking precautions, some of whom are immunocompromised, should not be mocked or discriminated against www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

NEW: Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

Their attorneys cannot find them. Immigration rights advocates cannot reach them. They exist now as detached from America and the loved ones they were forcibly, and suddenly, separated from.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Tomorrow is the Ides of March. No reason. Just saying.

A 10-year-old CITIZEN girl recovering from brain cancer deported with her undocumented parents. Do you all feel great again? For those who refuse to call out MAGA's racism, will this do it or is still economic anxiety? www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.

‪Not only has Israel restricted the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza, but a Netanyahu spokesperson also said Israel is “not ruling out the possibility of cutting off water & electricity in Gaza.” Now Israel is doing just that. By @ishaantharoor.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

This is your daily reminder that the only effective and practical way to prevent measles is through vaccination. Vitamins do not prevent measles.

Chickhai Bardo reminded me so much of Solaris. #Severance

This is your daily reminder that measles outbreaks are not normal and it’s preventable with vaccination.

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

I can’t believe that we are at the point where we need to constantly remind everyone that children aren’t meant to die from vaccine-preventable diseases.

"We kill at every step, not only in wars, riots and executions. We kill when we close our eyes to poverty, suffering and shame. In the same way all disrespect for life, all hard-heartedness, all indifference, all contempt is nothing else than killing." ~ Hermann Hesse

I know how to monger two things: fish and fear. And I’m all out of fish.

It's official: Robert F. Kennedy Jr, an anti-vaxxer, AIDS-denialist, and conspiracy theorist has been confirmed to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. This is a highly partisan move that will harm all people in the US. We must commit to fighting his disinformation as he takes office.

Trump wants to discontinue the penny so no one can ask him for his thoughts.

I hope the Eagles and Chiefs are able to resolve their differences peacefully and without conflict.

saying "go birds" but just rooting for birds in general, hope they're having fun and not catching that flu

Criminalizing masks makes public spaces less safe for disabled people. It pushes us further into the shadows The powers that be don’t want us to be visible. They don’t want a reminder that Covid is still a threat Wear a mask in solidarity. Tell the government that the vulnerable are not expendable
