lrt: this is perhaps a bit hyperbolic for now, but I feel like “what if these people decide to try and get us killed at some point down the line” being a live possibility might have some effect on my decision to break bread with rfk et al as a chronic illness advocate. #LongCovid #mecfs

folks are forgetting jay bhattacharya’s reaction to the CDC attack. says a lot more than his empty words. these lies were cited by the shooter as his motive for firing 500 rounds at CDC staff and killing a police officer

ABQ DSA statement on Senator Heinrich's vote to confirm Markwayne Mullin:

The Trump administration is rushing the approval of mining projects on tribal lands. The admin approved a uranium min in Utah in 11 days–when the approval process usually takes years. The dept gave tribes only 7 days to respond to the request for comment. www.wyomingpublicmedia.org/open-spaces/...

getting pretty concerned about people with long covid who care about the political left and still spend a lot of time on twitter. I know not everyone can “touch grass” but i wish we’d been more successful at making this a place the community wants to be.

Big news: Indivisible is backing our campaign. ✊🏽

more and more people are saying this

hearing secondhand mask-related discourse about how much leftists suck and then finding out it was started by T*ylor L*renz? it’s more likely than you think.

I think a lot about how people say the SCOTUS stuff won't be undone for generations and I have to say, there is a poverty of imagination at play there. We need everyone and ESPECIALLY Dem politicians to believe that we can and will fix this, by extraordinary means if necessary (and they will be)

HIPAA violation

it feels like my life is missing at least 5 out of 8 dimensions

it will take generations for the world to trust America again but imo we can speed run it by shipping people to The Hague. As a gesture of like “we get it.”

Every senator believes that voting for their colleague to a cabinet position means they have leverage or access; that the nominee will answer the phone and work in private. And there has been precisely zero evidence of this working at all recently

Who's gonna primary Heinrich

I don't know what the discourse around Lindy West's husband is but I do want to use this moment to note that he cowrote Macklemore's song "White Privilege II"

@mecfsscience.org appreciation post.

I am sorry to every New Mexican who voted for this Democrat expecting him to represent them and to all of us that this is a “Democrat” with power

Also, what's he even talking about in that second screenshot? Here's the clip of Ta-Nehisi Coates doing that same thing in 2024 on CBS Mornings. There's really no need to elevate and applaud Tucker Carlson of all people here. bsky.app/profile/dipl...

You absolutely don't ever have to hand it to Tucker Carlson.

FOX News is going to do this to Democrats now and no one can say none of us saw it coming. Just walking into every avoidable trap, it’s so infuriatingly stupid 😡

I feel like there’s a temptation to leftistly #reflect about the impulse to solve discomfort with money and the people of the world with even less ability to do so but like, in a mildly better world I could just find someone in the complex who wants to trade apartments.

do long covid and mecfs people know that the Roko everyone’s mad at on twitter is this person lol en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roko's_...

But when a Jewish person suggests that the WHOLE OF SOCIETY adopt a belief in dual loyalty conspiracy theory, then, no. They are choosing to start a conversation about what we COLLECTIVELY should believe and that is a COLLECTIVE conversation. We all have a moral responsibility to push back.

Pardon me, "Jewish communal organizations"?

specific advice I wish someone had told me: if you have visual dysfunction and you've never lived somewhere that got a ton of really harsh sunlight since your symptoms started, I highly recommend not doing that #LongCovid

I want off of this ride

In an ancient forest, shallow pools reflect not the trees above, but a luminous city of elsewhere. My shortlisted entry for the Cheltenham Illustration awards. Inspired by the changing landscape, childhood (and adulthood) fantasy, reflections, exploration of strange places... #art #illustration

I can't recall a bleaker job market for bio-science, ever. We all have to do what we can, as scientists and citizens, to turn this around.

the network of fascist millionaires and billionaires is global, the left must also be global. “US out of everywhere” sure, probably. people in other countries deserve way more than just that.

It would be cool to see more people on social media who are capable of denouncing or at the very least eschewing both antisemitism and Islamophobia, and recognizing that both are very real and very wrong, without any buts or caveats

because workers are going to be replaced by their machine god that will do our jobs so much better than us. Investors want to hear the talking point of these machine gods displacing workers because, well that's how they make money.

Here, Bernie is literally creating a Claude ad, showing the system as an all knowing being that answers all of his questions. An ad for Anthropic, a company claiming that they can't even confidently say that "Claude isn't conscious".

Oh, so NOW it's work from home

#LongCovid we should probably be approaching things from this angle imo.

thinking about how there’s a clear opportunity for the clean indoor air people to link up with climate justice people in support of upgraded hvac systems in buildings. clean indoor air isn’t currently my focus (tbh I get more emotional about air conditioning) but I hope people are considering this.

the next dem president should #TripleTheNIHBudget

i generally like elizabeth warren, i donated to her campaign and i voted for her in the primary, but this slopulist horseshit about income taxes and endorsing platner are both black marks on an otherwise fairly good record as a senator

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

lr: I have a semi-related good faith question. will it actually matter if dem politicians pledge not to take money from AIPAC in terms of their support for Israel? it’s my understanding that a lot (most?) of the money here comes from Christian Zionist PACs. do those PACs only support republicans?

I do agree with you, but I think some pro-masking people do have an all or nothing view, and I think rhetoric saying people who don't mask all the time are eugenists is not productive to getting some people to mask some of the time.

don't knock ggplot but otherwise correct
