Genocide scholars: The US is in the early stages of genocide on trans people Trans people: WE KNOW 🙄🙄🙄

Recent piece published w/ @thesicktimes.org arguing that “Long COVID advocacy is inadequate without sex workers, who have a long legacy of catalyzing consent education and facilitating disease prevention,” using the experiences of Black trans disabled Sex Workers. thesicktimes.org/2026/01/06/l...

we’re better than this, friends. please

Floored that someone on a call just literally said “is COVID still a thing?” And then I had to listen to two people tell me why they “can’t wear a mask” and believe personal choice is more important than protection. I truly do feel like I live in an alternate reality than most people. It sucks.

New from me at @motherjones.com: Senate Republicans blocked the Democratic plan to extend ACA tax credits while trying to pass (and failing too) health saving accounts plans, which @mirandayaver.bsky.social told me, are not useful for poor and middle-class folks. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The level of suppression that KOSA will implement (and the precedent it will set for future laws) presents a dark future for your internet privacy and free speech online. This is NOT the kind of regulation on the internet you want, trust me!

KOSA is back along with 17 other dangerous censorship and surveillance laws that congress is trying to ram through. CALL UR REPRESENTATIVE TODAY AND TELL THEM —no KOSA —do not repeal Section 230 —no online digital ID laws —no age verification laws CALL NOW!!!! We are about to lose the internet

What if COVID doesn't just make sick, but makes us easier to infect? Experts say the virus is chipping away at our immune systems. But some aren’t convinced. I spoke with doctors, scientists, and parents caught in a relentless cycle of illness, and here's what I found:

Did you know that you can sign up for a Haymarket book club and they will send you a new book each month? My next one is Reconsidering Reparations. I can’t wait!

Covid is not a cold or the flu. Never was or will be. Though it might just cause you to die from another infection, like flu or RSV. But let’s be clear. Covid kills far more people. Always did and will continue to… until we install precautions that protect us from all airborne pathogens.

Extremely well done. Should be mandatory reading. “Long COVID is an everyone problem because everyone has blood vessels, a gut microbiome, ACE-2 receptors, T cells, and a blood-brain barrier…it is devastating, and it is happening to people every day. And it can happen to you, after any infection.”
