The refusal of our political leaders and major media outlets to talk about this stuff continues to leave the field open for Covid deniers, anti-vaxxers and a whole host of other conspiracy theorists and grifters.
COVID is airborne, and each infection carries cumulative risks. Long COVID has no cure, and the pandemic isn’t over. Wearing a mask is still one of the simplest ways to protect yourself and others. Stay informed and stay safe.

The reactionary cesspit that is Morning Joe got exactly what it wanted from the administration & campaign they've spent 4 years whispering to. If you want to know why Harris ran the failed campaign she did, watch any Morning Joe episode of the past year.
The most fraudulent line in US politics is that Harris lost for being too "left." She ran as a corporate democrat.
But the media's manufactured an idea that "left" refers to a v specific and limited set of social issues, while totally ignoring economic dimension of left v right.
All over the rich world, people’s lives are getting worse.
It’s harder to afford the basics, keep a roof over your head, and access care when you’re sick.
People will keep voting for whoever they think will bring back prosperity. 1/
The pundits who've steered Democratic Party narratives for 20 years now embrace grievance politics as if they haven’t been key players in shaping the party’s course all along.
Heads up, this is the guy who convinced Kamala to stop running on "Republicans are weird" and "We're not going back" and instead to lean into the whole "Republicans in the Cabinet" bullshit.
This man is more at fault for what just happened than most people in America.
🧵MAJOR takeaway ignored by Dems in losing to Trump twice in 8 years:
Combined Millennial/Gen Z turnout—age 18-44—declined by 7% from 2016 (44% of voters) to 2024 (37% of voters). This was age group @BernieSanders won & galvanized—but Dems & media took him out by the knees.
...
Democrats have a media network of cable TV shows & podcasts, all which keep liberals inside a bubble of West Wing fantasies that pretend the working class doesn’t matter. Then elections happen and liberals are surprised to see the real, actual world kick them in the face.
Entirely predictable. The Dems have ignored the working class, sucked up to the elites and after a poor campaign they’re now just being transphobic.
This will just lose more votes, not gain anyway
@ValforNevada Zillow, a tech co, purchased thousands of homes to flip, eating up inventory in some locations & outbidding families paying with financing.
When they failed, they unloaded their inventory to institutional wall st investors who are helping create the rent bubble.
Then blame POC.
