He/him. Still taking COVID seriously.

When you hear anyone in the news or social media say "during the pandemic" or "post-pandemic", this is what they are talking about:
(2024-11 update)

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Says quite a lot that hooligan violence involving Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam seems to be getting more attention - and outrage - from Western leaders than the actual ethnic cleansing and carnage going on in Gaza.

[Variety @Variety]

“The Big Short” and “Don’t Look Up” director Adam McKay says it's "time to abandon" the Democratic Party.

“Who would have guessed lying about Biden’s cognitive health for 2 yrs, refusing to do an open convention for a new nominee, never mentioning public healthcare & embracing fracking, the Cheneys & a yr long slaughter of children in Gaza wouldn’t be a winning strategy?” https://t.co/7truZX85yj

Turns out being absolute dogshit on every issue has consequences for the democrats and basing their entire campaign on ‘Not being Donald Trump’ wasn’t enough to overcome said dogshit.

At this point I’m downright ashamed that I donated to Bernie in 2016 and 2020 and campaigned for him as well in 2020. What a rube I was.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

I’ve been all over the country in the last month.

And I get asked the same question, over and over again:

“I disagree with Kamala’s position on the war in Gaza. How can I vote for her?”

Here is my answer:

[A Left-Wing Account ™️ @PushDemsLeft]

"When we think of [Kamala Harris], we do not think of the redemption of American democracy. We think of mangled bodies."

[Rex Dart @Dart4Rex]

Seems bad.

[BNO News @BNOFeed]

U.S. reports more than 1,000 new COVID deaths for the 9th week in a row - BNO tracker

[tern @1goodtern]

"With the UK on its fourth wave of the year - with a strong possibility of another one before the end of the year - i asked the experts why Covid keeps coming back"

And do you know what... HE ACTUALLY DID ASK EXPERTS.

There's basically zero question that if Trump were president and Israel's actions were exactly unchanged this would be a central plank of the liberal argument that he and the GOP needed to be forced from power at any cost

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Netanyahu is committing human rights abuses over and over again—bombing hospitals, burning Palestinians alive, blocking food aid, and killing aid workers.

This evil genocide must end and President Biden has to stop enabling it. That starts with cutting off military aid.

[حسام شبات @HossamShabat]

We are literally living our final moments. O Allah, grant us a good end.

[Peter Daou @peterdaou]

I want Democrats to lose. I don't want Trump to win.

In an actual democracy, those statements are perfectly consistent. It's why there are third parties.

Why do I want Dems to lose? Because the rivers of blood caused by this administration should NEVER be rewarded with a vote.

[A Left-Wing Account ™️ @PushDemsLeft]

This you?

[Derek Franks @Derek_a_Franks]

C0VlD has killed 38x more people than the flu this year so far.

As I have said over and over, C0VlD is not the flu. It is 20-40x more deadly and also is much more disabling.

[Scott Squires @scottsquires.bsky.social @scott_squires]

No one sees below the water. The media and CDC do not tell the public.

[Rex Dart @Dart4Rex]

I get so frustrated by the refusal to just clean the air. It’s easy, it’s cheap, it’s unobtrusive. And the benefits are clear and easy to see. So many things would be better if we just took simple steps to keep air clean in public settings.

[T. Ryan Gregory 🇨🇦 @TRyanGregory]

The best way to keep kids in school is to ensure that they and their teachers are healthy, which can be achieved by cleaning the air.

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

That's right.

War crimes and genocide will continue.

[Rex Dart @Dart4Rex]

I don’t know when it became normalized to use speakerphone in public but we need to go back.

[Jerome Adams @JeromeAdamsMD]

So once again:
👉🏽 The administration offers free tests - that arrive in 4-6 weeks- > a month AFTER the surge starts … and,
👉🏽The FDA approves vaccines for a variant no longer circulating, again a month+ AFTER cases/ hospitalizations / deaths are peaking
🤦🏽‍♂️
