This is a must-read by Ximena Conde for @inquirer.com "Camden had zero homicides this summer. City and county leaders credit the 2013 disbandment of its police department. Violent crime is at a 50-year low." www.inquirer.com/news/camden-...

Ah, the simple joy of opening up the new issue of The Onion

I kinda hate the glib "I was born with empathy" answers to the "what radicalized you?" question. So how about this: What moment made you realize that you were going to have to be an active participant, that caring wasn't enough and you couldn't just rely on others to take care of society's problems?

That last line is something we need to be hammering home. All of this, the anti-trans stuff, the immigrant hate, it's all scapegoating away from the real problem of the people at the top addicted to money and power. They know their system sucks, so they make us direct our class rage at each other.

He also abused several severly autistic children in pursuit of his sham science. He is a demon.

A few COVID-aware friends and I have been testifying at local Allegheny County Health Department board meetings to ask them restart COVID wastewater testing and this week they announced they would! A small but serious win for public health! Thanks, ACHD! www.facebook.com/AlleghenyCou...

vill not give up hope 😤😷

okay Massachusetts, for real: if we're in public shared space these days and you've both learned this information and you're not wearing a mask, I'm going to have to wonder how much you care about your neighbors. it's yucky season, y'all. break out the n95s, get your boosters, turn on the HEPAs, etc

If you want to support those who are neurodivergent, please wear a mask (N95 or equivalent) in public. As a disabled person, I cannot risk letting the possibility of long COVID make navigating life that much harder. A lack of care in this area limits my ability to participate broadly in society.

"Filtered air as a human right"..... as we expect of water 👏👏👏 Because #CovidisNotOver Initially the focus was on protecting the "most" (visibly) vulnerable e.g. aged care.... As years pass & more is learned, what is bring done to protect our children & society? Respies 😷 #CleanAir #auspol

"confirm you're not a robot" captchas are so nefarious. AI takes people's jobs, but we're forced to train it, unpaid. posed like it's to cut down on bot activity, while the DoD pays people to troll + influence public opinion www.newsweek.com/exclusive-in...

King County residents shared how Long COVID has changed their lives. With over 200 possible symptoms, it can affect people of any age and health. Vaccination, masks, and good airflow remain key to lowering the risk. publichealthinsider.com/2025/09/23/h...

So why is there no public health messaging about this ongoing #pandemic? That #COVID is caused by a fully airborne virus that can infect and disable anyone at any age, vaxxed or not? I'll tell you why. Because politics. Because capitalism. #disability #healthcare #MillionsMissing #MECFS #maskup

"even as disease levels trend down, there is still a lot of SARS-CoV-2 going around, & levels are unlikely to drop too much further as we start getting into colder weather" "where this wave has already passed its peak, levels remain quite high even as they decline" thesicktimes.org/2025/09/23/n...

Microneurography Reveals Unmyelinated Small Nerve Fiber Dysfunction in Long COVID Shahrzad Hadavi MD

When Public Health officials and infectious disease experts complain that the public has taken an anti-Science position because of low vaccine uptake, they fail to acknowledge their role in fueling the anti-Science movement by telling people to wash their hands for COVID but not saying “airborne”.

Long COVID is a complex, heterogeneous syndrome affecting over four hundred million people globally. There are few recommendations, and no formal training exists for medical professionals to assist with clinical evaluation and management of patients with Long COVID.

I'm generally a very healthy person and always have been. Despite broken bones from sports, I've always healed up well. But COVID messed me up badly. Every time I lay down to sleep, a coughing fit comes on that sometimes lasts all night I'm almost 45 and fit. I don't want 40yrs of this 🙄 #maskup

For those interested in Long Covid, this might be worthwhile to attend. The event will be online

okay AI controversy aside, just talking as a nerd for a second: this is such a cool paper

Executive orders cannot supersede federal law or the constitution. Federal law sets visa fees, including for H-1B visas. And the maximum fee is $4,500, according to the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-113). Current State Dept. site: travel.state.gov/content/trav...

Your #SARSCoV2 vaccinations from months or years ago are not going to protect you from the potentially severe impact of the new #COVID variants spreading this week. 🖖 Wear an N95 respirator 😷

You could make the argument that The Professor Watchlist was a gimmick that the young Kirk could use to raise his profile and money. But he never disbanded it, even as it was clearly used to harass and intimidate.

For the freedom of speech to ring true, the power and possibility of communication must be reaffirmed by individuals and institutions alike, fighting not just for better First Amendment doctrine but for the substantive principles of truth and democracy that doctrine is supposed to advance. /end

Pushing back on the administration’s systematic assault on our institutions, including its sustained efforts to chill and punish speech it dislikes, will require civic action beyond the courthouse.

Construed generally, competitive authoritarianism refers to a political regime in which “parties compete in elections but the incumbent’s abuse of power tilts the playing field against the opposition.”

If they were all documented, it's hard to imagine how this isn't another example of ICE using workplace as a proxy for determining who to bully and harass. I'm just glad Brett Kavanaugh thinks this is all above board.

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

It's the constant undermining of Black women's credibility for me. The default is not to believe us when we say something.

Rep. Jim Himes: "I still can't get over the fact that I think for the first time in our history, the U.S. military...is now killing civilians who have been convicted of no crime. There's a reason we do trials in this country."

how many kids have died in school shooting this year? per Everytown, in 2025 there were at least 109 incidents of gunfire on school grounds, resulting in 33 deaths and 106 injuries nationally. i care about those people's deaths. and because of this person's campaigning for gun access,

Hey, Trump demanded that Obama release his birth certificate to prove he was an American. Now WE'RE DEMANDING Trump release the Epstein files to prove he's not a pedophile.

Right-wingers are calling for my arrest. You know why? Because they know I’m the only candidate in my race who will actually stand up to ICE and Trump. And they’re right.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

This man is one of the campaign’s super volunteers, the nicest dude you’ll ever meet, wildly dependable, and apparently capable of taking the coolest photo of 2025.

Anyways, political violence is bad. Shutting down the Broadview Facility at 1930 Beach Street is good. And ICE agents should be prosecuted for their crimes.
