An NPR investigation found Louisiana health officials told staff to stop promoting vaccines for COVID, flu and mpox, holding flu shot events or otherwise encouraging the public to get those vaccines.

The fact that we are four years into the pandemic and it never even came up in this campaign like…COVID really truly broke some brains and our collective unwillingness to acknowledge it by trying to force pre-COVID normalcy is just splintering us further.

People I know have been refusing to accept that the IDF kills indiscriminately for over a year now, despite VIDEO evidence. Yesterday, IDF soldiers/commanders spoke to Haaretz and confirm that they ARE killing Palestinians (adults and children) for competition, for pleasure.

You read that correctly. Mass graves in Syria. More than 100,000 killed by the Assad regime.

If they’d charged Roof with terrorism, they’d have to pursue prosecution of the orgs that radicalised him as terrorists, & the platforms that he was radicalised on as material support, & criminalise white supremacism

couldnt buy fucking weed last night because my selfish ass plugs kid was born 🙄

everytime i listen to this song i am transported to a beach in a ps1 game

when a sex worker opens up about violence they’ve faced at work your response should not be to tell them to get a new job

Yes AI art is ugly, but that isn't the problem with AI art. AI art will get better and it will still be unacceptable. AI art is built on stolen art. AI music is built on stolen music. AI videos are built on stolen videos. AI text is built on stolen text. Across all mediums, fuck AI.

Co-signed. @safety.bsky.app's statement goes further than most statements of its kind in that it gives explicit directions on how to harass marginalised people in a way that will give it an excuse not to enforce the TOS as written. Bluesky Safety is now a participant in the harassment

yaaay

It’s honestly kind of funny how all the most… reactionary… leftists have decided that Gazans are scammers- almost like their politics aren’t based on solidarity but rather self aggrandizement

Refrigerated raw milk harbors infectious flu virus for 5 days, study finds medicalxpress.com/news/2024-12...

we live in a society where corporations can just kill people outright and the media and police obediently declare it a suicide but if a CEO gets whacked in plain sight we must all take our hats off and bow our heads in respect for the Working Class Billionaire Hero.

Everyone knows a huge goal of oppression is to wear us all down to nothing so that apathy and fear are high and they can do as they please..right? RIGHT.

Today’s quick update [Dec 14]: - Airstrikes, heavy clashes between SAF and RSF continued in Bahri, Khartoum. - Airstrikes, clashes also continued in Elfashir, North Darfur. #KeepEyesOnSudan

When social media sites tell you moderation has limits I want you to know there was a time when you could only find the worst people on obscure forums created for being offensive because everywhere else moderated them into those corners.

I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Imad who is fundraising for his nephew Khaled who is still in Gaza (he’s also raising for another family member Hamza who I will link below too). Khaled was injured by shrapnel in his neck and eyes almost a year ago and needs evacuation.

12 years since these people were murdered. These kids should have graduated high school in the spring of ‘24. And have started job training or college or something. These are the people I mourn. And all of the other victims of school shootings. We - as a country - have failed them.

We must be ready for a bird flu pandemic. H5N1 is spreading in the US. We must: 1. Plan for possible scenarios 2. Develop vaccines and treatments Let’s act now to protect ourselves and our communities. #H5N1 #PandemicPreparedness

For history’s sake it’s important to remember this didn’t come out of nowhere. It’s been 13 years since Occupy Wall Street and class disparity and affordable care has gotten much worse, while a president, about to have a 2nd term, is only interested in helping the wealthy. People are in pain.

"If a journalist calmly and truthfully explaining the problems with an industry or the problems of a company, with no embellishment, just explaining what the problem is directly to camera, comes off as a threat or comes off as a motive, then perhaps that industry is the problem."

“People who had gotten COVID-19 at least twice experienced higher rates of short and long-term health effects, including heart & brain issues, compared to those only infected once.” Rather than “building immunity”, repeat Covid infections are slowly killing us. #LongCovid time.com/6553340/covi...

Western media invented fancy words like "humanitarian crisis" so they don't say that Israel is committing genocide, and "buffer zones", so they don't say that Israel is invading Syria. Everything about the west is built on white supremacy. From their media to their politics, etc. Everything!!

had this man talking like a gotham villain what do you think he got in return for this being pinned on him ?

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers: Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users. That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

The docmentary NURSE UNSEEN chronicles how Filipino American nurses disproportionately died of COVID-19 in 2020. For Filipino audiences, the film has offered a rare chance to collectively grieve in ways our society has failed. It is currently on the long list for Best Doc at the Academy Awards.
