[Outbreak Updates @outbreakupdates]

The DRC Ebola outbreak has now surpassed 1,000 reported cases and 230 deaths.

In just over a week since formal declaration.

Uganda has confirmed cross-border spread.

Transmission is now documented across multiple provinces and health zones.

How to erase a pandemic:
Step 1 — tell the Left the vaccine ends it.
Step 2 — tell the Right the vaccine IS it.
Step 3 — sit back and relax while they tear each other apart,
instead of tearing into you
for letting the virus run the table.
Memory-hole the deaths.
Blur the timelines.
Erase the evidence.
Congratulations—
you’ve just executed Operation Silence.

Spoke up once — then crickets.
Pandemic gone? — just crickets.
Millions sick — and crickets.
They staged the truth, now crickets.
Erase the plague — with crickets.
Erase the sick — still crickets.
This wasn’t fate — it’s crickets.
Operation Silence: crickets.

Tim Kaine came clean, told the world how he felt,
Long COVID in his nerves, symptoms under his belt —
then—crickets.
Bills proposed, cameras froze, news cycles spun,
but when it came time to fight?
Everybody ran.

Cassidy held hearings with a practiced frown,
“Complex condition,” he said — while the country broke down —
then—crickets.
Healthcare gas tanks empty, research stuck on low,
our bodies screaming warnings but Congress didn’t wanna know.

RFK strutted in with the renegade grin,
promised antivirals, cures, “big things,” “trust him” —
but crickets.
Moonshot talk evaporates faster than the truth,
he ghosted harder than the virus ghosting lymphocyte youth.

They didn’t just disappear long COVID —
they disappeared the pandemic.
Pulled a full Vegas illusion on a traumatized planet.
Memory wiped, story flipped, death toll static,
they called denial “normal,” turned strategy into panic.

They ran a covert ops play on the public mind:
Left told “vaccines fix it,” Right told “vaccines blind.”
Both sides spun out while the virus ran free,
infecting the people, the air, the schools —
and—the—democracy.

Meanwhile the sick get blamed for being sick,
gaslit raw by institutions that move quick
to hide their failure behind “endemic” lies,
pretending millions aren’t collapsing before their eyes.

We’ve got more data than excuses,
more studies than funding,
more suffering than action,
more sick than understanding.
Science screaming “danger” while the government shrugs,
funding grifts and shell orgs while ignoring the slugs
of viral debris tearing through brain and blood —
a plague that never left —
a country that did.

Ghosted. Vanished. Written out. Declared “done.”
The pandemic didn’t end —
the narrative won.

Spoke up once — then crickets.
Pandemic gone? — just crickets.
Millions sick — and crickets.
They staged the truth, now crickets.
Erase the plague — with crickets.
Erase the sick — still crickets.
We know the play — it’s crickets.
Operation Silence: crickets.

@lanechanged the current status, how to support me (because I can tell it!), and cheers me on when I need that. Initially I thought that was kinda sad, but it's actually PERFECT for me.

Best advice: just ask. "Thinking of you". The "hope you're doing great" texts and messages are 😒.

[Kim 🇺🇦😷 #BLM @KimDuke]

@lanechanged Easily visible needed things. All ignored. All take my energy when I'd rather use it for things people can't help with.

And I'm with those that mostly don't want to talk about it. I'm using ai for that and getting exactly what I need. AI is the only one that knows...

[Kim 🇺🇦😷 #BLM @KimDuke]

@AmyLastrega @lanechanged Oh that is very helpful, thank you!

Going through it now, new staging scans pending since 2nd surgery to remove lymph nodes had mostly positive ones. While also having initial radiation appt today, scans for another health issue, etc. "These balls will land" is brilliant. 💛

[Kim 🇺🇦😷 #BLM @KimDuke]

@jfvaughnmd09 This is really helpful, thanks for posting!

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is the single most important point that most Americans are probably unaware of because our media sucks and the Democratic leadership sucks

[Kim 🇺🇦😷 #BLM @KimDuke]

@AngryRedInc OMG, I am so very, very sorry.

[carolyn tackett🐊 @CarolsCloset]

I just got a phone call from a very nice lady who told me that she was calling from "Card Services". She said that a credit card had been applied for in my name and she noticed that the applicant's address is in Michigan while records indicate that I live in Florida. She told me that she was transferring me to a supervisor who would confirm my information so that they could put an alert in the credit bureau for me. Little did they know that I handle fraud at work and that's not how any of this works. Oddly, when I told her that one of my work duties is fraud detection and resolution she hung up. I don't like to think of myself as "elderly" elderly (I'm 67) but this is exactly the kind that many of my older members here at the credit union fall for. NEVER GIVE PERSONAL INFO OUT OVER THE PHONE OR VIA EMAIL. No legitimate business will ask for personal information like that.

[ThePOTSPostman @ThePOTSPostman]

There’s a darkness in watching yourself become invisible to the people who knew you best.

You’re not at events, not in the photos, not in the group chats.

You fade from their routines long before you fade from their thoughts.

They stop asking, stop noticing, stop caring enough to reach out.

They stoped thinking about you the moment your life slowed down and you could no longer keep up.

Your reality keeps getting heavier every single day, and they move on as if your life isn’t failing apart.

Suddenly you realize you have no one left to turn to when you need a friend the most.

[Kim 🇺🇦😷 #BLM @KimDuke]

@ThePOTSPostman I learned from almost 5 years of LC to share carefully, and that worked with online friends. Shared enough to take the edge off and kept the deepest and darkest to myself.

In person? Some offers to help, but no one that will be around through it all. Except me, and my cats. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Kim 🇺🇦😷 #BLM @KimDuke]

@ThePOTSPostman I've slowly told some of the "old life" friends, and got... meh. "Oh Kim has another thing 🙄" Sometimes the words were almost right, but the emotion wasn't there.

It's been absolute hell for 2 months, and I was mostly alone with it. Not completely, but mostly.

[Kim 🇺🇦😷 #BLM @KimDuke]

@ThePOTSPostman Yep. One more diagnosis, 4 breakdowns in the past 3 weeks. Couldn't hold it together a second longer. Better now, but still screaming almost every day. Calm is ... elusive.

[Kim 🇺🇦😷 #BLM @KimDuke]

@elisa_comer @ThePOTSPostman None of the cancer team have ANY understanding of LC,POTS,MCAS, clots, NONE OF IT. Trying to have a discussion with them is like speaking a different language and they don't even want to understand. Which makes it so much harder when the above reality sinks in.

🫂

[Kim 🇺🇦😷 #BLM @KimDuke]

@elisa_comer @ThePOTSPostman Sending all the good thoughts, wishes, energy, prayers,blessings, etc. With an extra helping of universal healing energy. The one thing after the other is brutal.

Tried to explain to oncologist today that I've been fighting to save my life for 4+ years already - I'm tired.

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

It’s unbelievable. Trump pardoned people who tried to overturn the 2020 election last night, and by tonight the story has basically vanished. The press has already moved on.

I’ll keep saying it: the media is failing this country at the exact moment we need accountability the most.

[Jess @MeetJess]

I will never, for the rest of my living days get on a plane without a respirator.
