@ChrisAlvino I have Long Covid - 1.5 yrs. Lost it all, bouncing around USA living w/ friends/fam. Not fun. I'm now w/ an old pal. Month ago his Mom went into a hospital in NJ w/ a leg injury. She got Covid & died. Weeks later, I went to my NYC doc - a LC clinic. Zero of the 6 staff had masks.
@ChrisAlvino Pulmonology (lung) and oncology no longer require anyone to mask here; they both did before COVID though. They bought anti-health messaging so hard they went back in progress.
Tinu died of this, too.
we’re actually about six months into a recession, it just hasn’t penetrated the stock market yet because the speculative AI bubble is keeping it completely divorced from what’s happening on the ground level
The real question is, how did someone born in 1993 become such an aggressively stupid white supremacist?
At some point, we will have to really acknowledge WHAT these folks are, and how they recreate themselves across generations.
People will look you dead in the eye and tell you to "have respect" for a person who has spent their entire career making sure YOU don't get to live an equal and happy life, or live at all.
we should be clear about what political violence is.
1. starving people when there is enough food for all of us to eat.
2. denying people healthcare so they die from preventable illnesses
3. denying people shelter
4. increasing police budgets across the country
The pandemic unmitigated doesn't just make us sick - it makes us cruel. It operates like capitalism & colonialism, coercing us into harming one another until that harm becomes background noise. The pandemic reinforces and deepens coercive forms of harm.
Y'all don't understand power because y'all believe former politicians don't have any.
believe the minority leaders don't have any.
believe the most famous musicians in the world don't have any.
Y'all lack imagination.
Imagine if the above pushed folks to stop paying rent?
Pro tip: if you have the power to provide a disabled student or employee with accommodations for their disability you can just do it without requiring that they complete any paperwork or deal with HR. 😉
BREAKING: Lush has closed all of its UK stores in protest at Israel’s genocide in Palestine
The cosmetic giant has also closed down its factories and website for the day
When y’all saw folks telling Black Americans to focus on our problems here and to ignore genocide, they knew what they were doing. They knew their Blackness would be a shield and a benefit for the Democratic Party. They had no problem doing it for personal financial gain.
