It’s my birthday, but it’s also unfortunately the third anniversary of the day I got the Covid infection that disabled me. This year has been the hardest with the disease. I encourage you to be careful this holiday season, wear a mask and test, do not get or give Covid to anyone.

Abolish ICE is the absolute minimum acceptable policy.

I feel like Marco Rubio should be in trouble.

Yeah! No shit! Elon's Flying Monkey's got some splainin to do.

My mom said she is not shopping there. (She’s a boomer with no social media.)

We always see a surge of infectious disease, including COVID, RSV, etc etc around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Unless you want to gift your fam with a few weeks sick this year, mask up as you travel!

Yep, this! High-quality masking slows transmission because the virus has fewer hosts to jump to for viral replication. It’s basic science, but people forget how effective it still is. #COVIDisNotOver #COVIDisAirborne #MaskUp😷 Source: x.com/helenaddy/st...

Get vaccinated. But also know that, while helping prevent serious illness in the initial acute phase, in some cases COVID vaccines may reduce the risk of infection only by roughly 30% for 2-4 months. And they don’t prevent long term issues. So that’s where the need for masking comes in

Bill Gates in cahoots with Trump through Epstein? How will MAGA process all this?

ICE detained four U.S. citizens in Oregon this week, including a high schooler on his lunch break. “All of us should be concerned about ICE operating outside of the laws of our country, disappearing even U.S. citizens without concern or fear of consequences,” said Jess Montoya at Oregon for All.

I hope MTG reads the Epstein list on the floor of Congress

I wonder how many people are gonna get listeria and salmonella etc on Thanksgiving due to there no longer being a functional USDA, combined with inexperienced people cooking unfamiliar foods improperly

This is the kind of thing I think about when someone complains that universal basic income would make people dependent on the government for survival. You instead want to depend on Tyson Foods for your survival? Do you get to vote on what corporations do??

Important aspect of the standard articulated in US v Calley & quoted here is that there is no defense of superior orders if the subordinate *knew* the order was unlawful. Irregular lawyering in the admin (eg overriding SOUTHCOM SJA) & subsequent legal criticism ought to put officials on notice.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Hi. Once bird flu goes person to person...we are done.

You probably shouldn’t rely on symptoms alone to look for novel virus spread. We have no idea what the asymptomatic spreader potential is… although… until it adapts more… it may be low. I would do PCR tests a few days apart, and serology at day 10-14.

UK health officials urge extra precautions, including wearing a mask if you have symptoms, as 4 winter viruses spread: RSV, Flu, COVID and Norovirus. Source: archive.md/z6uDK

Am I weird, I just don't get the appeal of hair extensions.

This Single White Female reboot sucks

Hakeem Jeffries was literally voting for a resolution condemning socialism while this meeting was taking place

Grand opening, grand closing. X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

We are also done with people who waste time on decrying "socialism" when people are literally starving.

Russia rejected their own peace plan?

So Bezos is in them too then?

We don’t need to reform ICE. We don’t need alternatives to ICE. We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE. ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

With all the noise being made about the US/Russia peace plan the admin is trying to foist on Ukraine, it’s important to understand why the full-court press is happening right now. Why Orban is attempting to speak for the EU… Putin cannot afford the war anymore. They are selling off their gold,

14/ Meanwhile, this fall has proven even worse than last year. Right now, the virus is spreading in northern Indiana, hitting 43 duck and chicken farms just in the last month, after wiping out dozens of turkey flocks in Minnesota.

15/ And the "severely ill" patient in Washington State confirmed to be infected with bird flu last week highlights the threat of a virus that has the potential to spark a pandemic. Read more about this deep-dive into the Ohio/Indiana outbreak here: www.propublica.org/article/bird...

This is a production. 10/10 😭😭😭 THE LEAVES 🍂 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This death was from H5N5 flu; still an avian strain. Still transmits the same way, but I believe at least the fatality rate is lower. This is coming 3 days after 6 mice tested positive in the same state - That's Bad. bsky.app/profile/citi...

yet another reason to #MaskUp.

Stochaistic terrorism is still terrorism.

FINALLY just watched KPop Demon Hunters. Did I cry? Yes, yes I did.

More later, perhaps in a column, but Marjorie Taylor Greene, like so many loons who have coat-tailed Trump, feeds off the attention economy. She’s betting the attention is going to shift from “Trump is amazing” to “Trump has failed us,” and she’s putting herself on the leading edge of that wave.

real ones know there is only one correct way to travel from NYC to DC (Amtrak northeast regional cafe car)

We’ve got one more chance to stomp the regime at the ballot box in 2025. Make some calls to help @aftynbehn.bsky.social flip a GOP district in 11 days: mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Why not quit congress on Jan 6th though...? Missed opportunity.

BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene says she's resigning from Congress — effective January 5, 2026.

New Deal Democrats! We are so BACK!!! @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social #NewDealDems

hard launch. on truth social. mamdani broke his brain.

Just beware if Don starts calling Zohran, "bubba".

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load. So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

I really hope Jeffries and Schumer feel like dipsticks today.

lmaoooo inject it directly into my veins

By the way, Jeff Bezos, you fucking pathetic coward: Zohran Mamdani got the pragmatic things he needed to get as a leader without ever submitting to the likes of MBS and disrespecting the memory of Khashoggi and every journalist in America.

Now the bots are truly exposed. How many of them helped Trump get elected? 🤔

“a member of the DSA steering committee came up to me, big DSA member, strong DSA member, tears pouring from his eyes down onto his bright yellow zohran tote bag, and he said to me, he said, sir, labor is the source of all value. and i said, its so true. solidarity, comrade”
