@LauraMiers The first thing I thought of when they said cyclospora was hiv/aids. We've been here before people...that this isn't setting off massive alarm bells shows how little everyone cares
@PacoOnPause I used to think that at some point we would recognize the damage to the environment and would cone together in a great effort to save it. Then came covid and people wouldn't mask. I realized how naive I'd been thinking we would save the environment
@LauraMiers@FmrRepMTG Gen X here. Same. I don't expect ss to be there or Medicare. Do I have enough saved? No. Impossible. Market will crash and destroy what I do have in my 401k. But AI is gonna burn the planet so no worries π
@michaelmina_lab@AmeshAA I'm gen x. Got my mmr as a kid. Got tested a couple years ago and was no longer immune. So yeah, a lot of people are not up to date with their measles vax
@DonEford Unless a variant is so bad it brings back refrigerator trucks, it's a distraction to the general public and implies some variants are safe and negates the message of cumulative damage. I long stopped worrying about variants and just focus on trying not to catch any variant
@wonderartsy@ADHDMom5 And her husband is an allergist and sees patients everyday. He'll post videos from his office without a mask and in local fb group patient of his said he and his office doesn't mask.
@Imani_Barbarin We live in a culture that likes to punish people. Any excuse to punish and when we feel punished for something we need to punish someone else even more.
@stacycay Newsom discouraged lawmakers from introducing pro lgbt legislation, has said trans athletes are deeply unfair, pushed to make some homeless camps illegal and passed a law forcing mentally ill to be hospitalized against their will. He's not the democrat you think he is
@thotlikekidd Voting for them doesn't solve anything. Look at where vote blue no matter who got us. We've been voting for people to just not join in when someone is beating the crap out of us. We need to vote for people who will step in and defend us
@DonEford@ProudSocialist@CCarini505 Pritzker pumped 35M into the gop primary for an ultra right wing candidate because that candidate would be easier to beat. Pritzker elevated the voice of the ultra right and showed republican donors that there was no point in backing real Republicans. He weaponized our freedoms
@AOC You better get your party in shape then. No Dem votes for this. If any do they should be thrown out of the party. To allow one dem to vote for this and stay in the party means the Dems are for this.
