I know it doesn’t matter at this point but it’s important to make clear there is nothing illegal or “black market” about Venezuela shipping oil to Cuba. It is only illegal to one country on earth, the US, which cannot unilaterally determine what trade is and isn’t illegal.
SNAP’s fraud rate is less than 2%. Whereas the pentagon hasn’t passed a single audit and can’t account for over $3 trillion dollars. But fuck the starving kids. Am I right
Back to the food contamination, MAHA front.
A 10 year old boy was hospitalized and developed kidney failure after eating lettuce contaminated with E. coli and the FDA will not provide the name of the company responsible for the outbreak.
Leftists who ignore Covid are shitty advocates for Socialism/Communism. If they can't even recognize the biggest labor issue of our lifetime, they shouldn't be trusted to fight for the working class. Get educated. Mask and demand worker protections.
I want every lefty who's given up masking and ignored someone who has tried to educate them on the harms to sit and mull on why they think they can point fingers at others who refuse to be educated. Reaching others starts with being willing to listen, learn, and change yourself.
No one is an exception to becoming disabled. No one is immune to disability. Your health is not a guarantee. Even when you age, disability is almost inevitable at some point. Advocating for disabled people is advocating for your inevitable future.
The Trump/Frey connection is so important to understand. Candidates running against Frey should compare Trump’s obsession with deportation and Frey’s obsession with encampment evictions. They both have an inhumane and cruel approach to those who have the least 🧵
What worries me the most about "leftists" reaction to being asked to masked isn't the ignorance or the anger, it's the complete refusal to even read about Covid in 2024.
The complete refusal to hear anyone out. We can see you're scared and you're right because you're fucked
The majority of Americans dying of COVID are vaccinated and that has been true since the summer of 2022
40% of those who died in the brutal reopening wave of winter ‘21-22 were vaccinated as well. You don’t know the facts yet speak over those who do

“well the CDC said” nothing coming out of your mouth after that means anything to me because the CDC is a government agency that bases its guidance on the needs of capitalism, not people
What's perhaps the most frustrating aspect of the 'debate' with the anti-mask left: they state vibes as facts. They flaunt their ignorance and then argue from a position that is a neo-liberal construction rather than one based in material reality.
I would especially make sure my kids were up to date on HPV vaccine, which can be given as young as nine years of age. I would not be surprised if that vaccine is one of the first targeted, and it is one of the most lifesaving vaccines we have.
Today, council was unable to reach the 2/3 majority required to override Mayor Jacob Frey’s most recent veto of the Affordable Housing Preservation Ordinance (AHPO).
I want to explain this ordinance and why its veto will harm Minneapolis residents in the near future:
If the covid vax is what you’ve been depending on to prevent you from catching covid, then why have you had covid multiple times?
The vax is definitely worth getting because it lowers infection severity, but it doesn’t prevent infection!
Until we have a better vax, wear a mask.
