US cases of COVID variant 'Cicada' up more than 15% and rising. Cicada (BA.3.2) made up <4% of U.S. cases in mid-March, but WastewaterSCAN data shows it now accounts for over 20% of infections by early April, indicating rapid growth and spread. Source: archive.md/lzFPk

I do not like majority govts. Not at all. Especially when they are right-wing. It does nothing but hurt the people.

Just 90 minutes before Trump’s self-imposed deadline last night, a two-week ceasefire deal was reached. Had they not reached a deal, Trump was threatening war crimes and genocide. But what brought us here? How do we help Iranian citizens who are suffering? @smohyeddin.bsky.social joins me:

The DOGE team was acting like “a bunch of people who didn’t know what they were doing, with ideas of how government should run — thinking it should work like a McDonald’s or a bank — screaming all the time,” former SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek said. (Published Sept. 2025)

"Even Trump is vulnerable to prosecution, but after the supreme court’s deplorable ruling, not in the United States," writes @kennethroth.bsky.social.

A coalition of 22 states say the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has admitted to sharing with ICE “a large and complex” set of data on Medicaid recipients, ignoring a court order. minnesotareformer.com/2026/04/06/r...

Teen who went to photograph L.A. 'No Kings' rally shot, blinded by Homeland Security agent, attorney says

Three years ago, our reporter received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of thousands of files: years of secretly recorded conversations, private militia chat logs and videos sent by a man named John Williams. (Published Jan. 2025)

Footage from the Jan. 14 ICE shooting in Minneapolis show a scuffle between an ICE agent and two Venezuelan men lasting less than 12 seconds, contradicting the agent's account. Prosecutors watched the footage 3 weeks after charging the men for assaulting the agent and then dropped all charges.

If you’ve given into the temptation of pretty but flavorless out-of-season strawberries, pickle them.

This dude and everyone empowering, enabling and even those failing to stand up to him are fucking monsters

"I hope the democrats who refused to take a principled stand on a genocide when the public begged them to do so are feeling good this morning" We can play this game all day, pal. Also interesting you blame *this* small group rather those who didn't vote for Harris for far less principled reasons!

Oh my god. The Prime Minister's social media account puts out a post reflecting on the horrors of one genocide, hours after refused to explicitly condemn the threat of another. (Not to mention the failure to close loopholes that see Canadian companies arm yet another genocide -- in Gaza)

how about cash transfers directly to poor people so they can make real choices about their futures? but then the poor people would just be ... people and without poor people, the service agencies and researchers and police will have nothing to do

Yup, this: "how about cash transfers directly to poor people so they can make real choices about their futures?"

“from a clinical/public health standpoint, nothing is new” You can’t possibly know this when a new virus or variant emerges. It takes years to assess the damage. Decades sometimes. Also. The past variants are bad enough to act on, even for kids.

I have apparently drawn my line at either ads before videos, or frequent ads through videos. Nothing is worth that much trouble to see.

This is a good thread on BC’s pandemic situation (yes, it’s on-going, with a new variant, called cicada, rising, rising like cicadas, in fact).

www.wired.com/story/the-te... Yep!

The medical system's stubborn adherence to the idea viruses like Covid are spread by "droplets" & not true airborne will eventually look as befuddled as treating patients with bloodletting—if our species survives long enough for that. But they'd all have to admit they've been wrong all along, so...

Look, we’ve had techincels/billionaires tell us social media was good for us—and look where that got us, our data scraped, our privacy dashed. And now we’re hook, line and sinker on AI when their ultimate goal is to end employment so they can set up city states/fiefdoms. Why are we so gullible?

AI stole my life’s work as an author. I keep the Shy Girl saga in mind (having no idea about the author’s veracity). Extrapolating, Evan, to when authors' books have all been scooped, how can we ever prove we write w/o AI? Our phrases will be measured ... against our scraped work and judged wanting.

Is it weird that I find it delicious to be so offensive that I often get blocked?

Personally, I wonder if Pam Bondi, trying to avoid testifying, submitted her resignation?

Why does Canada not act to stop hate? Of the racialize, of the marginalized? Billboards, flyers, bus posters etc. It’s such a small thing for a huge gain to say that these people are valuable and cherished and have equal human rights?

It doesn’t matter if Noem’s hubs is a cross-dresser—big whoops—but it does matter that Noem herself is such a huge hypocrite and a liar about the worth of LGBTQAI2+ people. And that she used her phoney baloney “values” to hurt so very many people, including by murder.
