“Reactions online seem to be simple disbelief that COVID damages brains- but this is anti-science…However we still have a hegemonic refusal to acknowledge COVID as a threat from the far-right to the far-left, it is a largely united front to treat COVID as the cold it is so clearly not.”

Unhinged loser shit.

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

queen shit, rest in peace

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

I think what is happening is he is on his way out the door and smart, evil people know his “cultural” (gross) influence is not transferable and are doing their best to publicize his endorsement (real or not) of their plans and world views. They know their window is closing. bsky.app/profile/atru...

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Hey why haven’t I seen an all-hands press conference from democratic leadership saying the president must be impeached for threatening to use troops on US citizens? Like why aren’t 25 key Dems in a room right now with every camera in the country? @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ? @schumer.senate.gov ?

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

I’m so confused. Didn’t the case before Breyer for California rule this was illegal? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.

Clean air is a human right!

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

For anyone who needs to hear this, by virtue of being a “human being” with “empathy” and a concern for “the dignity of others,” well, I regret to inform you that you are and always have been a part of antifa.

Fascisms also look to men to be the state's enforcers. And I'd argue that they persuade men to fill those roles by making jobs in law enforcement, military, and corrections the best path to security and esteem for men without college degrees.

Fundamentally, the reason I avoid Covid is because all - all - of the elements of my life that bring me joy and fulfillment rest on my cardiovascular fitness and / or my cognition. I'm not going to risk a virus wrecking that, as I've seen happen to way too many people I know.

Antifa is not an organization. It does not exist. Today, Donald Trump openly and brazenly declared himself a fascist.

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

What America is going through is not unusual in historical terms. Plenty of examples like it today elsewhere in the world. What makes it unusual is the rapid collapse from a set of widely espoused norms and values that centered on liberty. It is the sacking of the shining city on hill that shocks.

Trans rights are human rights.

We don't know what's going to happen so might as well fight for better. That's really my basic political orientation.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Update on Novavax COVID vaccine availability from a New York Times reporter: they haven’t been shipped out yet but the supplier plans to ship next week.

Too many bad things happening all the time! Only want to know about good things right now, I think!

An easily demagogued population is a danger.

“Every infection is another round of damage. Another hit to your blood vessels. Another chance for the virus to set up shop in your organs. Another spin of the wheel…the one that gives you diabetes, or ruins your heart, or breaks your brain. You’re not building immunity. You’re accumulating injury”

BREAKING: In Chicago, Illinois—U.S. citizens protesting ICE were dragged into vans by masked federal agents with no badges and no warrants. People screamed: “Who are you? Where are you taking them?” This is authoritarian control in real time.

THE ICE AGENTS ARE WEARING FUCKING NAZI STAHLHELMS WHAT THE FUCK COME ON, YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP

When you’re being mean to me, this who you’re being mean to:

No, @nytimes.com. It is not unclear. It is plain English. There's no ambiguity. You can read the law yourself. It is a very simple law.

BREAKING: New York Governor Kathy Hochul is set to sign an executive order allowing pharmacists to prescribe and administer Covid-19 vaccines to anyone who requests them, regardless of age or underlying conditions.

Hawaii announced they are joining California, Oregon, and Washington’s West Coast Health Alliance which will provide their own science-based vaccine guidelines and make vaccines accessible to everyone.

Zohran wants universal childcare for everyone in this city and I hear people who NEED this asking 'OK but how will he pay for this?' I'm like 'bitch I haven't heard your ridiculous ass ask ONCE how the city is paying 11 BILLION A YEAR FOR COPS.' NOT ONCE. So damn demagogued.

"You're a charlatan. That's what you are." -- Cantwell to RFK Jr

Support for vaccinating kids against infectious diseases dropped from 81% in 1991 to 51% last year We are getting dumber as a society

There are some incredibly vital issues at this moment in time that go beyond like, oh we disagree on marginal tax rates but we can still be friendly. Trans rights are one of those issues. Trans rights are human rights and those are not negotiable. (see also: genocide; fascism. not unrelated!)

The Age of Unformation.

YES!! Outta here you fascist fucks!!

BREAKING: Trump, Hegseth violated the Posse Comitatus Act with their troop deployment to Los Angeles, Judge Charles Breyer rules after trial. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Results so stunningly clear they inspired this classic xkcd (xkcd.com/2400/):

People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Post-COVID? This article must be from the future. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.

It's official: Updated COVID vaccines have been approved by the FDA, but with restrictions. Moderna: 6 months and up if high risk Pfizer: 5 years and up if high risk Novavax: 12 years and up if high risk Anyone 65 years and up is eligible for updated COVID vaccines regardless of risk status.
