Hi all-I have moved over to the other app (🦋☁️) Same username and everything. Keeping this as an archive for now, but probably won’t be interacting as much. May end up deleting after a while? Idk.
See y’all over there!
NEW: In response to orders by the Trump admin, the CDC has taken down the Household Pulse Survey, one of the biggest and most important sources of Long COVID data in the world.
The US government is literally erasing the existence of Long COVID.

I need people to understand that the biggest threats to disabled people and children, often some of the most powerless people in our communities, are the people meant to care for us and work with us. Whether that's caregivers, parents, nurses, drs, teachers, etc.
Yall we HAVE to stop saying “x as resistance” where x is a neutral or even self-focused action
Self care,joy,love etc etc are good things but are not materially resisting the system
Taking care of urself is good, but it’s NOT resistance-the more we say it is,the less we resist
Giggling at the idea of someone being so woowoo that they selectively breed plants back to how they were b4 agriculture just to say they eat the most “natural” diet-like,imagine choking down one of those old-school bananas that’s just 95% inedible seeds & insisting it’s delicious
a lot of people don’t understand really basic things about agriculture and our food supply. selective breeding, which humans have been doing for as long as agriculture existed, is not the same as modern genetic engineering of crops!
There is something really disturbing about white liberals and progressives who will stand over the bodies of Black organizers and resistance fights to cry about how dangerous it is to resist.
3. Wherever you are in the U.S., get to know the “Constituent Liaison” person in your local councilmembers’ office.
Why?
They can be a life saver when bureaucratic issues happen. Like if you need someone to intervene with your landlord or write a letter to Section 8.
2. Did you know that back in the day, Harlem residents used to throw “rent parties”?
Yes indeed.
Tenants gathered, chipped in, played music, sang and danced. The world was hell but they had community and each other. And they survived. Remember that formula for today.
Ok tenants, let’s get ready.
Here’s the plan:
1. You and your neighbors need to meet every month to discuss 1) what’s going on in the building 2) any issues any tenant there is having (repairs, rent).
Yes. This is the start of a tenant union.
Undocumented immigrants deserve dignity not because of how their labor serves you and this country, but because we are human beings. But that seems hard to understand in a society that values people based on their productivity.
It’s disgusting to see people talking about “glad I’m not on wic” “glad I’m not on Medicaid” “glad I don’t need fafsa”
Yall are so selfish and uneducated and honestly should shut the fuck up.
