By MeetJess 6 years of living with the constant math:
Is this space safe?
Is this air clean?
Is this risk worth it? 6 years of watching caution get mocked,
science get diluted, preventable harm get normalized. I’m not tired of caring. I’m tired of being surrounded by people who don’t.

"I developed Long COVID while practicing medicine. The system had no place for me" "6 years later, COVID-19 continues spreading, killing, and disabling people, but many of my colleagues ignore it. Last December, a colleague said, “We can’t keep doing this. COVID is basically over” archive.md/CLP40

It just never ends. The Trump administration has officially scheduled an auction for drilling rights in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Companies can bid for the right to drill in ANWR starting June 5.

I have a little lemon tree. It bloomed for the first time in January, 6 years to the day since my girlfriend was killed. Just 2 tiny blossoms filled the room. It's got 3 little blossoms going today. #grief

I think there was a lot of ableism in the comments of people who thought that RFK, Jr. had "good points" about chronic disease or processed foods. People who both did not understand the eugenicist connections, and also tried to separate those views from everything else RFK, Jr. believes.

Women and girls comprise nearly 60 percent of people experiencing extreme hunger right now, and often eat last and least when food is scarce.

How a bison inspired me to set boundaries and just say no.

It would make no difference if I took my mask off. He would have said something about my colour, if I wore a headscarf my religion would be up for debate… It’s the same group, doing the same thing. And you can’t win by giving in. They’ll find something.

New Epstein-linked revelations show how neo-Nazi operative Andrew Auernheimer aka “Weev” became a crucial link between Peter Thiel and the online far-right subcultures waging “memetic warfare” against their enemies. By @barrettbrownlol.bsky.social

This is happening to tens of thousands of people. It is a disgrace. It is a parody of due process; after more than a decade, the government suddenly orders you to return to a court hearing in just days, thousands of miles from where you live. And it's tearing lives apart.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

Still, some doctors, especially white doctors, believe that Black Americans have a higher tolerance for pain than whites. Black Americans like me are looked upon like druggies whenever we ask for pain medication. The things that I have witnessed would make you angry as hell.

A nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the enforcement surge in Minnesota.

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people. The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work. Subscribe to support our journalism.

With spring springing, why not give birds a helping hand by leaving out nesting materials? Piles of twigs, moss & grass cuttings, or natural wool all go down well with busy nest builders! 🍃

On January 13, Aliya Rahman was on her way to a doctor’s appointment when ICE agents smashed the glass out of her car windows, pulled her out of her car, and hauled her down the street by her arms and legs. Now, Rahman plans to ensure her ordeal comes at a cost to the agency that harmed her.

“I wear a mask, encourage better ventilation, air filtration, and other actions to protect myself… because all of us are vulnerable to damage from COVID and we deserve care.” —Leticia Urieta @leticiaasu.bsky.social author of ‘Offerings to a Tumbled Temple’, takes reality & community care seriously.

I love using this meme whenever I see an AI generated pictures of the weirdo doing something stupid. Seriously, there are so many hand-drawn political cartoons around the world featuring the turd doing literally everything. Not to mention he's a living cartoon character, so photos should be fine.

I believe this is the first video we’ve seen of a family getting deported on a commercial flight - Delta Air Lines out of Seattle, in this case.

There are currently 94 #kakapo chicks alive, with 59 on Anchor, 22 on Whenua Hou, at least 10 on Te Kākahu and 3 in hospital. We lost a chick to a freak flooding of a nest earlier this week on Anchor. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

Without qualified interpreters at doctors' offices, non-English speakers can face bad — even fatal — health outcomes. A hospital in rural Colorado is training its existing bilingual staff to address the service gap. n.pr/4tNleCt

Flapjack octopuses (genus Opisthoteuthis) are an adorable genus of deep sea octopuses. They have gelatinous bodies that can make them look like a pancake when they sit on the sea floor Their fins are smaller than those of other cirrate octopuses, but it does mean they look like they have tiny ears

NEW: On Wednesday shareholders in Thomson Reuters demanded the company’s board launch an investigation into whether its products have contributed to human rights violations, specifically with regards to Thomson Reuters’ ongoing sale of peoples’ personal data to ICE. www.404media.co/thomson-reut...

The Minneapolis Dildo Brigade asked protestors across the country to participate in a Dildo Day of Action outside of ICE facilities and it went about as well as you can imagine 🥲 in Portland, Chicago, and L.A. There was juggling, cornhole, drumming, frogs: the works. 🫣

After big dams on the upper Klamath River in far northern CA were removed in 2024, Chinook (king) salmon migrated upstream for the first time in 100+ years--and now they have hatched.

It looks like some Democrats are preparing to help the GOP reauthorize a little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens. Zero Democrats should vote to allow the regime to gobble up mass surveillance data to punish Trump’s enemies and round up immigrants.

GenAI memes used to dunk on the enemy are still GenAI memes.

But please, keep posting the thousands of new AI trump/jesus pictures to OWN THE LIBS (oops, i mean MAGA) it's completely worth the destruction it causes. My favorite was an AI image of dr fauci replacing trump with "what a REAL doctor looks like" Cuz there are no real photos of the real dr ANYWHERE

Study finds long COVID leaves a distinct immune signature in the blood. Study finds long COVID is linked to lasting immune changes, especially inflammation and neurological signals. Vaccines didn’t worsen these responses. The findings could improve biomarkers, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment.

The cops collaborate with ICE here in Missouri. Arrest someone at a traffic stop and quietly turn them over to ICE for incarceration and deportation. Lovely.

I trust godzilla more than anyone in our government.

ICE agent tells the New York Times they were nervous showing up in Minneapolis and how they travelled with “girly suitcases” to not be detected. A Senior ICE official details how officers would block in and kidnap United State Citizens. Gift link in next post.

Long COVID is significantly underreported across the globe. Long COVID has affected over 400 million people globally as of 2024, but it’s likely underreported—especially in low- and middle-income countries where data and access to care are limited. Source: archive.md/26rjh
