You know what, fuck you. Covid has drastically altered my life and killed two (healthy fwiw) relatives. And most importantly, PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC CONDITIONS DESERVE TO LIVE.

One day left on Dave’s crowdfund.

I missed this somehow yesterday. A few things: 1) This is why we demand that people stop referring to disasters as natural. A plan to send kids to a flooded basement during a tornado isn't a nature problem. 2) Disasters are inherently political. You can't 'politicize' them.

What is especially galling is that this saved zero dollars, since the cruise ships pay for the inspections. And now their industry is less trusted because of perceived health risks. Amazing lose-lose policymaking.

Long COVID is not pale poets dying beautifully. It is unread emails, shower stools, heart-rate alerts, brain fog, canceled plans, disability forms, compression socks, and people who "look fine".

Kevin González is only 18. He is suffering from stage 4 colon cancer and has days to live. He’s desperate to spend his last moments with his parents, but ICE detained his mom and dad after they tried to seek humanitarian asylum.

Earlier today, it was revealed that DOJ was investigating this reporter for her previous unflattering expose on Patel’s drinking. This is the best possible response: another expose of his embarrassing behavior. Kick his ass, Sarah.

Over 10 million Americans will lose health care coverage because of Republican cuts to Medicaid and Obamacare subsidies. That amounts to half of the total number of people who gained health insurance because of the A.C.A. 📸: @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social @ms.now

TN state rep Gloria Johnson was kicked out, putting the call out for people to join them

Just learned of this website knowmecfs.org - surprised I’d never seen it sooner? Nothing new for many of us, but a great comprehensive resource in general & a goldmine for new patients, caregivers/family, etc. Detailed yet still succinct, with high quality information. #MECFS #LongCovid #pwME

Men's Health: 'Millions of People Live With Long COVID. This Researcher Is on a Mission to Find a Cure' 'Six years ago, Dr. Michael Peluso and his team launched a first-of-its-kind long COVID tissue bank and have been working to understand the disease ever since' www.menshealth.com/health/a7113...

This administration is doing things so evil I had never even considered them as a possibility before

Andrea Pedro-Francisco, who has been in ICE detention since February while suffering intense pain from a tennis ball-sized ovarian cyst, has been denied humanitarian parole. minnesotareformer.com/briefs/ice-d...

Rep. Khanna: "Now we know why that interview was not videotaped. If Donald Trump had seen the video transcript, he would have fired Howard Lutnick. It was really embarrassing."

Totally normal when someone is accused of campaign finance fraud, right?

Randy Villegas has drawn a clear line by rejecting corporate cash while Jasmeet Bains shares nearly 60 corporate donors with the Republican incumbent. Democratic voters have been crystal clear they want money out of politics - it's time for the DCCC to listen. www.commondreams.org/news/randy-v...

Just as they did in Minnesota, the Trump administration's DOJ is weaponizing the government and using schools and school funding to persecute another Democratic state.

Please help our friend @bakednbougie.bsky.social stay housed so she can go get the emergency surgery she needs! Mae will not go to the hospital if she doesn't have an apartment to come home to. Please help get Mae the care she needs and keep her home! If you can't help, please share! 💖🌺❤️🌸✨

“I haven’t eaten” ~ “I’m sorry” WTF? When I was in school at least they gave kids a PBJ sandwich! For some kids, school lunch is their only meal & Republicans still cut back SNAP benefits so the 🤡 & Kegsbreath could play Battleship in the Strait!

Illinois maintained a nearly 97% vaccination rate against the measles among school-aged children, according to new data from public health officials.

#MEAwarenessMonth 🧵 Death from ME haunts me every day. It has been five years since Maeve was admitted to hospital for the second time after she became unable to sit up or chew. Unless you live with ME, and the terrible stigma surrounding it, it is hard to imagine what the illness can do. 1🪡2

I am very touched that Berkeley's crowdfunder for Trial By Error has now received more than 500 donations. If you'd like to support my work exposing bogus research into ME, ME/CFS, Long COVID, etc, here's how: crowdfund.berkeley.edu/project/49720

Morning Joe put together a supercut of Sen. Blumenthal asking Trump's judicial nominees who won the 2020 election, and each of them refusing to acknowledge that Trump lost

Hi! I'm a farmer! This NYT article is sweet, saccharine bullshit. Farmers knew Trump was going to hurt our business. Because he already did a trade war in his 1st term. I even did a video on why so many farmers support Trump, WHILE knowing he'd hurt our farms.

This isn’t like letting kids use a calculator, this is more akin to letting kids smoke. The whole point here is pushing an addictive product and getting kids hooked on it early—not educational best practices. www.newyorker.com/culture/prog...

No, The Health Problem You’ve Just Developed Wasn’t Caused By The Covid Infection You Just Had.

Happy to share a new zine we just finished that's an updated version to "Recognizing Hate". This zine is a reference guide to identify various nazi dog whistles, and includes a list with brief descriptions of the most active far-right groups currently in the US. www.wewillfreeus.org/farrightthre...

Not a great sign that President Trump’s judicial nominees seem incapable of stating that President Trump is ineligible to run for a third term.

Short German TV clip. #MECFS cases have doubled since 2020, many linked to #LongCovid. Patients describe lives wiped out overnight, years housebound or bedridden, and having to choose between showering or playing with their child.

Tis an amazing situation we find ourselves in with the current leadership of the Dems… While the current minority leader throws his support behind very specific candidates in the primaries & they rake in ooodles of money from Super PACs, they lose the grassroots support of the people. Like a death 💋
