Same as they did to force people to go back to work while still sick and contagious with covid

Masking works. My respirator has kept me free from Covid and flu for six years. 😷 Vaccines are great, but not inhaling viruses into your body is super cool when vaccines do not provide 100% protection. Vaccines & masking in combination FTW.

Just sayin'

It’s been 6 weeks since Adelita Grijalva won her election & she’s not sworn in Congress is being paid as federal workers work for free & Americans go hungry There’s no incentive for the GOP to end the shutdown They’re funding ICE. They’re funding themselves. They’re funding Argentina It’s a coup

. @animenewsnetwork.com's neutral line on this is absolutely disgusting. No! Fuck the planet killing torment nexus! 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

You Only Feel So Bad Because Your Body’s Intimidated By How Well You Are

Our government had a choice when they came in. To carry on with the same COVID policies from the Tories or mitigate for airborne transmission and they chose the former. I have never been more disappointed in my life to see this continuation.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these plants face an increased risk of cancer. By @lisalsong.bsky.social, 📸: @annie-flanagan.bsky.social

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain." This James Baldwin quote is hitting harder than ever.

Using lessons of HIV to go after Long COVID youtu.be/6kC1lyY6hPc?...

It's not like we were born with an innate understanding of N95 masks and airborne transmission. Many of us put in the intellectual effort to understand it, starting in 2020. You don't need a medical degree to understand this stuff. It has been explained, and explained, and explained.

Some context to the viral videos: Around 9am Friday, ICE/CBP *encircled* several square miles of a safe suburb and *stormed* it using multiple units. They were in cars, on foot in alleys & gangways, and in helicopters. They demanded papers, threatened residents, pointed guns, kidnapped people.

The widespread refusal to wear respirator masks in public spaces during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 provides unmistakable evidence that most people are careless fools who have no regard for either their own well-being or the well-being of the collective human community. #COVID19 #respirator

Same thing he said when Trump won the first time, without understanding that of elections matter he should stop backing losers like Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.

Every word of this article is true. And I challenge you to read it.

My niece, all of 12 years old, read my article about the government shutdown and cancellation of SNAP funding She has now planned a rally for next week and is fundraising for the local food bank and encouraging others to donate. This kid man… she’s incredible.

Vote NO on ballot prop 6 in NYC because having municipal elections on off years is like having crops bloom at different times of the year to keep the bees alive. The bees here are campaign volunteers, small dollar donations from working folks, news coverage, voter attention spans etc. #NYCvotes

An airborne virus on the loose that causes long term organ damage and basically no one, including doctors, acknowledging it or wearing masks—not even in hospitals or on airplanes. Fun times. #COVID

Kind of want to write a book called "The Neurodivergent's Guide to Surviving a Pandemic"™️ and the main premise of the book is that we don't care when neurotypical people tell us "but everyone else has moved on"

In Belmont Cragin on Chicago's northwest side this morning, a rally is opening in support of day laborers outside the Armitage/Cicero Home Depot. Activists are calling out the corporation for continuing to allow ICE and Border Patrol to stalk and attack immigrants in their parking lots.

It’s funny to think that the masked ICE Agents terrorizing communities are the same folks that spent two years saying they couldn’t breathe with a mask on.

870K in Australia alone and no treatments! What are you doing to help @gidmk.bsky.social besides attacking the credibility and integrity of Long COVID researchers when their results don't match your pre-existing COVID minimizing beliefs?

Australia: Nurse among patients calling for better access to long COVID treatment Former ICU nurse Julie Mirtschen, 43, from Port Macquarie, developed long COVID after back-to-back flu and COVID infections in March 2020. Researchers say she’s among up to 870,000 Australians living with long COVID.

John Mandrola is quoted in this article by @lizzylawrence.bsky.social. Writers should know that Mandrola is a political doctor who will reflexively defend our current medical establishment. He feels we should be “ecstatic” about the culture of fear and paranoia described in this A+ article.

Dr. James C. Jackson of Vanderbilt University takeaway from today’s IACC Expert Panel on Long Covid and other chronic conditions: Brain fog is not an accurate term. It needs to be referred to as brain damage. Yup.

I told my friend this week to take a COVID test and much to their surprise they were covid positive with no symptoms and the problem is it’s not harmless and folks still transmit to others. Now they are home resting.

25 hospitalizations, six deaths and one fetal loss have been reported in a listeria outbreak linked to recalled ready-to-eat pasta salads supplied by Nate's Fine Foods Inc. sold at Trader Joe's, Sprouts, Kroger, Walmart. FDA, CDC are investigating multi-state outbreak.

Aye, we were all so close to seeing the truth. Some still see it. Others have chosen to look the other way coz it's familiar.

i remember how during the pandemic lockdown there was a weird sense that we were going to emerge from it in to a better world. it was odd. then the 'sensibles' started demanding we 'go back to normal' despite 'normal' sucking for most ppl.

This is what I mean when I say that present-day covid denialism is right wing. It was a plan born of corporatists and wholly adopted by centrists and even leftists eager to pretend the pandemic was over, which should immediately give anyone thinking about it pause.

Their delusion of control makes more sense where you understand that they see themselves as “God”. They control what we deem as “reality”. A core tenet of white supremacy. And in many ways they do. They have exerted God-like power throughout history. This feeds the delusion.

Quit standing around and recording and beat some ass. It was two of them and at least 3x the people. The problem is, people voted for this. They want to see it. If it was a white woman they would have turned that airport inside out.

To all you bozos who thought Makary was qualified or would stand up to RFK...

If you still wear a mask & take precautions to protect yourself and others from COVID-19/other infections: Thank you for saving lives and for putting people before the status quo. Every time you wear a mask, test before/after going to crowded events, and stay home when sick, you make a difference.

Do people actually understand the war waged against the Panthers by the U.S government? I think that most people really do not.

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine. My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too. n.pr/4qFa1mY

If I could go to a Halloween party, I would go as a doctor and repeatedly tell people "your labs are fine" "it's stress" "you're just deconditioned". I would whisper it in their ear. #ChronicIllness #MedicalGaslighting
