Gosh I hope people don't start reading this book the CIA published (now declassified) that gives tips for defeating an occupying governmental force through sabotage. It sure would be a shame. (non-govt-spies-on-you link): www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/26184

Such treachery. Doesn’t our govt understand pandemic threats? Our vulnerability to zoonotic flu, next SARS-3 coronavirus; arboviruses and tick borne illness from climate change here on the Gulf Coast; bioweapons from our enemies: Russia, DPRK, Iran, what’s going on? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A well fitted N95 mask offers excellent protection against Covid. When people lose their sense of smell or taste … it’s because the virus is damaging the brain. We’ve seen a drop in IQ with each covid infection. An increase in vascular disease. Long COVID may trigger Alzheimer’s. Mask up!

Crypto is crime. Crypto is corruption. Crypto is fascism. Crypto is fraud. Crypto is theft. Crypto is harm. Crypto is enemy.

Wear a mask! Ideally a well fitted respirator like an N95. Covid is not over. The government pushed a “back to normal” agenda for the economy, not because it was safe. They told us “only the vulnerable” needed to worry, but covid is a multi system vascular virus that is dangerous to everyone.

Begging folks to realize that ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event. People are being shot. They’ve been blinded. They’ve been traumatized. The camps are full of disease. TB, Covid and measles can all kill but they also disable. It’s eugenics. www.texastribune.org/2026/02/07/i...

With a number of Olympic athletes donning respirators, this is your reminder that COVID is not over. It’s airborne, and a well fitted mask is a great way to protect yourself and those around you. If you can’t afford one, check out your local mask bloc. If you can afford it, consider donating!

Every American needs to watch this:

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

One of the most effective things you can do right now to fight Trump and ICE is to cancel your ChatGPT subscription.

Walmart just became a trillion dollar company. Its owners, the Waltons, are billionaires many many times over. The starting pay at Walmart is below the living wage. Many of its employees have to work two jobs and rely on SNAP. It’s time for a universal basic income Abolish the billionaire class

Long COVID kills. At Long COVlD Defense Series II, Miles W. Griffis @mileswgriffis.bsky.social and Betsy Ladyzhets @betsyladyzhets.bsky.social, cofounders of @thesicktimes.org, discussed the challenge in reporting on pandemic death toll, including lives lost to #LongCOVID. 🔗 youtu.be/ymuCFWt8v7A

As I said last night about the measles outbreak at ICE detention facilities, I don’t much trust “ICE Health Services Corps”. See how the language on their website has changed. Old language (L), Mengelian language (R). From direct patient care to “assessing alien’s [sic] fitness” to be deported.

Resistance MUST remain peaceful in order to win. Non-violent resistance is twice as likely to bring down authoritarians as violent resistance. Why? Watch short informative video which highlights @chenoweth.bsky.social's work.

Liam Ramos gets to meet the pilot and visit the cockpit on his flight home from the Texas ICE camp This little boy has become an inadvertent symbol of resistance A reminder of why we fight What ICE did to this child was wrong. May the kindness he receives today help heal the damage.

Covid is a social justice issue. If you’re fighting fascism, you should care about Covid. It’s a mass disabling event. It disproportionally kills and disables marginalized people. Mitigations cost money. Paid time off is rare. Healthcare is under siege. Mask up!

😢

1/30/26 100k in #SanFrancisco joined nationwide shutdown❗ youtube.com/shorts/bMpM1...

Minnesota Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed in their home by a man pretending to be law enforcement. Now independent journalist Georgia Fort has masked men at her door. This isn’t law enforcement. It’s tyranny. They’re going after the press. They want them silenced.

I’ve been to a lot of protests in Tucson. This anti-ICE one is *massive*.

So much for the Constitutional protections for freedom of movement.

Wow, someone was allowed to mention the Network State in the New York Times opinion section. I believe this is a first. Trump Is Not a Nationalist. He’s Something Worse. gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/o...

Now more than ever we need people to mask up to help resist fascism. It’s much easier to resist when you have your health. Masking protects your health & the health of others. It shows those in power that you refuse to leave vulnerable people behind. It keeps the resistance inclusive!

This week we also have two new entries in the ongoing, uncomfortable saga of people publicly donating their brain to science while dragging us into their AI hell. It's a #cybersecurity newsletter, but AI psychosis is spreading like a, well, virus.

Your worth is not determined by your health. Your worth is not determined by your job, marital status or economic output. Everyone is deserving of shelter, food, healthcare and social supports. No one should have to “earn them”. When basic needs are met, society is better off.

If this doesn’t tug at your heart, make you well up with sadness, you are not human.

I’m so old, I remember when Repubs loved the shit out of people who brought guns to protests. remember these shitwits? these MAGA morons were so mad about being asked to lock down & mask up against COVID they festooned themselves w/weapons of mass death & protested inside the Michigan Statehouse.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan. Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

ICE should be prohibited from obscuring their faces. They’re lawless thugs who are killing people in the streets because they know they will get away with it. But please be wary of bills that ban masks. Many disabled people need masks to survive. Covid isn’t over. Don’t leave us behind.

This is so, so terrible. Say bye-bye to global emergency cooperation strategies with the US. We've got H5N1, measles, and Covid going hogwild, unprevented, and unsurveilled in the US with its population facing an unprecedented lack of vaccine access and DOA public health comms. Pandemic powder keg.

Sometimes you get a few minutes on live TV with a billionaire. I tried to make them count! 😅

Staggering. And for no reason; it's a self-inflicted wound that will take decades to heal even if we started today.

For a year, I have been saying that if Trump puts a wrecking ball to NATO, then Europe, along w several other countries, should create a similar alliance and include Ukraine, South Korea, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand Well, looks like a new alliance without the US is being discussed.

It's that magical time of year when private jets descend on a Swiss mountain village to discuss climate change and poverty! Anyway, here's my annual reminder. I'll stop posting this when they stop avoiding the real issue: their own massive tax avoidance 💰
