I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world. It’s easier to live in denial than face the uncomfortable truth.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed will be an incredible fighter for Michiganders.

Abdul represents the future of our party. Don’t get distracted by the noise from shills for AIPAC.

Money out of politics.
More money in your pockets.
Medicare for All.

That’s the fight. Vote Abdul.

I want to thank Haley Stevens for so succinctly destroying every centrist talking point that's been rammed down our throats for the last 6 months.

[Emma Vigeland @EmmaVigeland]

Breaking my own rule and writing a Twitter essay...

Two days before the midterms, Haley Stevens, the beneficiary of AIPAC’s record-setting $30 million in her primary, appeared with Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers at Perfecting Church in Detroit where she claimed that Rogers would “take on” investing in Black-owned businesses. She then endorsed him.

This attempted ratfuck is galling for any number of reasons, but what disgusts me most is the willingness of these genocidal white politicians to use Black voters as human shields for their racism against Abdul El-Sayed. Rogers has run one of the most racist Senate campaigns this century, and yet, Stevens is now climbing aboard while ostensibly professing concern for Black voters.

This is an instructive moment in understanding why Zionists must be purged from the party: as believers in a supremacist project themselves, they view Black voters as a faction to be weaponized, not as constituents who deserve genuine representation. They are saboteurs in the broader fight for racial justice. A belief in an ethnostate sustained through apartheid, force, genocide, and domination is fundamentally incompatible with an anti-fascist, anti-racist coalition.

Good luck browbeating the Democratic electorate into supporting some pro-Israel corporate centrist in the 2028 presidential election after this saga.

Think the @HaleyforMI @AbdulElSayed saga is totally bonkers? The data agrees with you.

It’s also a part of a wider trend - the left’s donors don’t hold grudges. The establishment’s do

[Darializa for Congress @DarializaforNY]

Haley Stevens’ betrayal today shows us it’s not that progressive Democrats, or even democratic socialists, need their own party. It’s that politicians like Haley Stevens always had more in common with Republicans like Mike Rogers and Donald Trump than with the Democratic base. And now she admits it.

That’s why it’s so important to run democratic primaries. It’s not enough to send Democrats to Washington, we have to send Democrats who are fighting for the things working class voters want!

Bottom line: COVID is not "just like flu." It has carried a population mortality burden several times larger than flu A, and that burden continued past the emergency phase. Sustained surveillance and prevention still matter.

5. Risk analysis and mitigation is not rooted in fear. It is rooted in the ability to understand the variables of a changed environment and adapt to them. That is to say, risk analysis and mitigation is based in facing reality head-on. This is a rare and valuable skill.

1. The bottom line: SARS-CoV-2 only emerged in late 2019. No-one can know the long-term effects of repeated infections, but with anosmia and cognitive dysfunction as common symptoms, the assumption I make is that there is a tsunami of early-onset neurocognitive diseases coming.

[Steph Sits (formerly Posting Things That Matter) @SitsSteph]

A study from European Heart Journal found that C0VID can accelerate vascular aging and stiffen arteries, even if the initial infection wasn't severe.

Using a 😷 is a way to protect blood vessel health from these long-term risks.

So we’re acknowledging some things now. Cool. Let’s acknowledge that it’s still here. Let’s acknowledge that we’re doing nothing to stop repeat infections and we’re still burying first-wavers and guaranteeing everyone develops persistent chronic infection, including children.

[Mother Jones @MotherJones]

Covid constitutes the largest mass disabling event in the United States since the Americans with Disabilities Act became law in 1990.

Now, the Trump administration’s anti-worker and anti-disability turn has created a climate of fear and difficulty around Long Covid accommodations. https://t.co/S1Xztzmuog
