The Covid pandemic was an opportunity to build back better. To learn from previous mistakes. To value lives over productivity. To unchain ourselves from capitalism. To build networks of community care. I hate that we squandered it, but I still believe it’s possible.

Earlier this month, U.S. congressman @reppaultonko.bsky.social (D-NY) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) reintroduced the Indoor Air Quality and Healthy Schools Act, a bipartisan legislation that aims to protect public health from poor indoor air quality (IAQ). 👍 www.facilitiesnet.com/iaq/tip/New-...

Rodney Taylor was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him. He’s been detained for more than 8 months. They won’t allow him to get his new legs & put him in solitary confinement. He needs the disability community’s help! His petition just hit 3,000… keep it going!

I get it, there’s a lot going on, but surprise, the death cult wants us dead and this game of ostrich people are so invested in will definitely help that goal along! There is no horror of fascism disease will not make more horrible! This is a fact!

“Biological sex” is intended to sound sciencey and authoritative, just as “gender critical” invokes academic rigour. Don’t be fooled. They’re phrases invented by weird genital obsessives who believe that a quick glance between your legs at birth defines the rest of your life.

By Keith @keetmuise Media saying avoiding Covid is “health anxiety” is like saying… Seatbelt = Crash Anxiety Life Jacket = Drowning Anxiety Helmet = Brain Injury Anxiety Winter Boots = Frostbite Anxiety Keep it going in the comments Source: x.com/keetmuise/st...

Wherever the far right mobilise to try and bring racism, hatred and division, we will come together to show that our communities stand united against racism and the far right, that we stand with victims and survivors, and for justice for all women. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/wo...

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

This would show bold leadership & support a science-based GPEW policy, too! @boldpolitics.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social

🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 The former leader of Reform UK in Wales, Nathan Gill, has pleaded guilty to eight bribery charges while an elected member of the European Parliament. The charges relate to making favourable statements about Russia in exchange for money during his time as a member of the European Parliament.

Walk out

Wearing a mask is an act of resistance. It helps protect your health and the health of those around you. It tells the government you don’t believe anyone is expendable. It says you value community care. It shows solidarity with the disability community. Covid is not over.

Why is the government removing 13 million vaccines to the many vulnerable people, many of whom have shielded and have a high risk of being hospitalised. Also why aren’t vaccines being rolled out out to long covid sufferers also at increased risk of hospitalisation etc. None of it makes sense 🤷‍♀️

All I could think of was this article and how much healthcare staff have been failed. www.nursingtimes.net/respiratory/...

4. We pay again and again for a failure to raise taxes. It’s a false economy, for which we suffer in multiple ways. Fair Taxation Saves Us Money.

If you are in the US military, this is your reminder that it is illegal to follow an unlawful order.

Deeply disturbing to see the organisation of the #FarRight growing to this extent. This group Aberdeen Against Illegal Migration are now prowling the streets for people of colour to harras all in the guise of community safety 😒😳 The govt & police need to put a stop to this before it gets worse.

Westminster authorities have been accused of an 'outrageous abuse' of power after reportedly blocking an investigative news outlet from gaining a press pass over its Gaza 'standpoint'

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

Sometimes it seems like everyone not taking protective measures against covid is just fine, getting on without the hassle. But they're not all fine. They just accept the new fatigue or the constant 'lurgy' without linking these back to covid infection.

In a world full of people cosplaying “back to normal” at the expense of their health… be a Violet Affleck. Have the courage to wear a respirator and stand out. Have the strength to speak up for the most vulnerable and lead by example. Masking is resistance.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

#Privatisation - a few profit and the rest of us pay. And only those few - and their agents - could possibly _still_ be promoting it www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

a new mRNA therapy apparently can cut the rate of Huntington's disease progression by ~75%. yet more miracle shit www.bbc.com/news/article...

Every week some very vulnerable people in Scotland, mostly young girls, have to travel to England due to lack of later abortion provision. Some have been in danger or suicidal. Committee discuss this tomorrow. Please sign petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE...

we really do need to worry about what Reform might to do to our medicines and vaccine regulation if they get into power christinapagel.substack.com/p/how-vulner...

Reform UK are not in power, Keir Starmer's changed Labour Party is. Can people stop being distracted by Farage, and expose what Labour are actually doing to the country? A stealth takeover of the UK by carving it up into deregulated free zones, tax havens for corporation with 25 year licenses. 1/2

During WW1 there was a rumour that aspirin caused the Spanish Flu. As I was writing about that last year I often shook my head in disbelief at the stupidity of our near ancestors. Seems a lot of people are still dumb enough to believe nonsense.

Tylenol doesn’t cause autism. Vaccines don’t cause autism. Taking medications doesn’t make you “less than” and you shouldn’t be expected to just “tough it out”. Also… release the Epstein files.

@greenparty.org.uk This is essential. Do our new Health Policy proposals do this? If not (and I haven't been able to find it yet), Conference should send the whole thing back to be reworked. @jgreen63.bsky.social @ceri-turns.bsky.social

I still can't quite believe that the very first attacks from Labour on Farage's bonkers idea to kick millions of people with INDEFINITE right to remain out of the UK were to argue that it's infeasible and wouldn't save anything like the amount he claimed. How about: - It's WRONG - It's IMMORAL ?

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I hear endlessly (including right now on the radio) that “the new consensus” is that Covid was “almost certainly” caused by a lab leak. This might be a political “consensus”, led by the same White House that says tylenol caused autism. But it’s not the scientific one.

Mick Lynch "Nigel Farage is a racist." RT if Mick is right.

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

once again, if tylenol caused autism, america would have a better rail system

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk Cutting vaccines = more hospitalisation and more long covid. France offers to the whole population. We are still being told to wash our hands for an airborne virus. Labour again cutting health benefits. Please call them out on their inaction on health preventions!

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.
