Who the fuck asked for this?

About 30 years ago I studied in Costa Rica while they were debating if cops should be allowed to be undercover *at all.* They noted that a visible police presence has a more measureable crime reduction effect while undercover is ”entrapment” for police profit. Where is the lie?

It’s May 19th, Malcolm X’s birthday. Let’s celebrate his life and impact on the movement

Are we pretending Biden, a proud supporter of the 2005 Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act that said even bankruptcy can’t get rid of student loans, wanted to free us from loans? OK sure whatever…

The Epstein files changed me forever. I read them in painstaking detail over months, realizing in real time that we are not ruled by laws equally applied. We are ruled by wealth, access, and protection networks. America is a syndicate. I’ll never get over it, so don’t ask me to.

Dear @meeks.house.gov: Will you return the $6,600 you received in 2024 from Josh Harris of Palantir Technologies? And will you publicly refuse to accept any contributions from any committee of any company profiting from ICE—or from any executive of any such company? Sincerely, Bright, constituent

LFG!!!

I definitely wouldn’t recommend grabbing all that high-bandwidth RAM and some of the server infrastructure before there is a fire as a precautionary measure. Imagine what would happen to the economy if the price of RAM dropped due to a flooded consumer market. It would be awful.

Learn from the locals who know the Andes Hantavirus best. In Chile, they serially test exposed contacts at 7, 14, 21 & 28 days. In her update for the WHO, Dr. Claudia Campillo from Chile's Ministry of Health, flagged a case became PCR+ while asymptomatic, then developed symptoms 4 days later

NEW: Tiny footprints. A blue blanket. The autopsy reports of babies who died after not receiving a vitamin K shot at birth included heartbreaking details about how small the babies were — and what items they had with them when they died.

I feel like everyone who’s used it as a therapist needs to see this “By using it, Client waived confidentiality”

It's simpler: stop using gen AI. Full stop.

The counterpoint to calm-mongering is not alarmism or panic. It's never time to panic. And panic doesn't actually happen. The counterpoint to calm-mongering is simply the precautionary principle. That's it. That's all most of us are urging for this and every other outbreak.

The problem, of course, with post exposure prophylaxis for SARS-CoV-2 is that y'all motherfuckers surrendered and the virus is basically everywhere. I have no way, as an immunocompromised person, of knowing when I've been exposed.

Why does this feel like the punch line is going to be they finally get rid of the filibuster and—in so doing—the parlimentarian?

Everyone who gives AF about fascism needs to read this and then read the article at the end that got me following Walker. I also humbly submit that Biden halting CDC reporting of COVID by hospitals from April 30 to after the 2024 election was when I knew US public health was fully dead.

Yes and...Elon said on Nov 5, 2024 that he planned to corrupt/hack your elections. The tariff reaction was enough to block once, but the threat is not weakening and the more centrist your gov's actions, the stronger fascism gets.

As a trauma-specialist, I wade into the darkest things humans do to one another on a daily basis, but this fucking week has been a lot...

So I just got an email from someone offering to buy my claims in the Anthropic case, and whew are the vultures ever circling overhead.

i saw a video of that girl that was murdered in seattle singing and it's breaking my whole fucking heart in half. what are we even supposed to do.

Can you solve this math problem? COVID 3.2 + TB + Measles + Flu + Andes26 = Answer: Clean the fucking air already and wear an N95!

As someone whose hospital was so overrun with COVID patients that the oxygen supply lines were literally not able to keep up, fuck you all for sitting here smugly talking about this like it wasn’t the existential crisis we lived through- except for the million + that didn’t

We demonize them because we watched them kill our friends and colleagues 🤷🏻‍♂️🤬

This is pretty amazing.

To most of us, this is dead obvious and common sense. But not for public health officials, evidently.

I forget how this episode of Black Mirror ends

Oh wow, it is NOT unprofessional to wear a button supporting the SEIU! Support SSM nurses! Support the SEIU (which also covers medical residents)! The salaries of the board and CEO can always be cut and reallocated!

I need a manual wheelchair! $338 to go! If you have learned from my work here, please send or share. Trans people are not okay. I'm not okay. We will send 50% to others in crisis. Please help us. Thank you from @idpemery.bsky.social and me 🫂💜🏳️‍⚧️ gofund.me/6a8b4b76a

Don’t get it twisted: This is a war on Black Americans.

People are still dying of Covid, Valéry. Last year my mother died of complications of COVID. She believed as you do, that it’s been years and did not mask or take precautions despite being immunocompromised. People aren’t talking about Covid still because we LIKE doing so.

wait a second

The West is appalled by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Couldn't care less about the blockade of Cuba, the Ethnic Cleansing of Lebanon or the continuing Genocide in Gaza.

A new RCT of ~2,000 household contacts published today in NEJM found the oral antiviral ensitrelvir (Xocova) reduced symptomatic Covid after household exposure by ~67% compared to placebo (2.9% vs 9.0%) www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

“Mass protests in Argentina decry Milei’s funding cuts to prized public universities” 5/12/26… 1/

They are racing to build out the police surveillance state while lazy cowardly Americans fail to take meaningful direct action to shut everything down before its impossible.

My writing is popping off, thank you! If anyone is able to help me afford a manual wheelchair, I would deeply appreciate it! 🧑🏼‍🦽 Thank you! 💜 $363 to go!

Once again for the "It can't happen here" folks: It can happen here. It HAS happened here. You just don't know about it because the ones who did it covered it up for generations.

Since I posted this yesterday, the number of people exposed has already increased to 173. When are we, as a society, going to start taking viruses seriously?

I know I’ve asked this before, but what does the racial profiling/eugenics company purport to offer healthcare systems? I literally do not understand what features the genocide company offers to aid medical care. You can’t weigh risks against benefits with no known benefits.

Patient’s Anxiety Reclassified As Severe Hantavirus

We either act to protect trans kids' health or cede it to fascist destruction. Trump's the main enemy and NYU Langone our target—but our main levers are NY's AG and the Mayor. Let's tell them to apply pressure. @gregpak.net's page has the right links + additional asks. gregpak.net/2026/03/27/t...

Last week, the Trump administration explicitly stated its intention to "neutralize" - its word, not mine - US trans people. Since then I can count on one hand the number of cis people who have even mentioned it. A whole bunch of cis people have talked about trans people demanding too much though.

The real message of Frogger is the dangers of commuting in a city that doesn't have reliable public transit.
