I tried to post this thread about #LongCovid but it didn't let me. So I took screenshots, maybe this will work. It's been a sucky journey 😂🤦♀️ but thanks to a few (of many) who have helped along the way with their info @1goodtern @drclairetaylor @ELHopkins@brownecfm
🚨🇦🇱 BREAKING: Day 30 of mass protests in Tirana, Albania
✊️Thirty days of courage.
✊️Thirty days of refusing to be silenced.
✊️🇦🇱To every brave Albanian still standing in the streets: history remembers those who refused to surrender when it mattered most. No government is greater than its people. No office is greater than the nation. And no amount of power can erase the voice of citizens determined to be heard.
⚡️When a nation stands together, no force is greater.
🇦🇱✊️Albania is not for sale
#Albania #FlamingoRevolution
Remember that flashback scene in The Handmaid's Tale when all of the women suddenly don't have access to their money and are summarily fired? It feels insane, and Now understand that trans people in Kansas just woke up and no longer have their ID. No way to drive, no way to vote, no way to prove who they are. That happening in America should feel just as insane.
.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.
Palestinians were given plastic bags with the weight of their children in them when kids were blown up by Israel they couldn’t tell who was who.
A mother said, “I dont even know if this is my son.”

“They Changed My Daughter’s Last Name and Now She’s Gone”
“They are stealing the children… they are taking the children who are found alone.”
A desperate mother says her daughter was rescued after the earthquake, but when she went to claim her, she was allegedly told the child’s last name had been changed. The little girl has since disappeared.
She claims that many children found alone are being taken, with their identities altered.
Elon, I can give you many, many names of people who have died because of your aid cuts.:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because you stopped paying for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of your cuts in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after you interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when you cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to him.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge you: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.
They will NOT make a billionaire contribute to the basic needs of the community BUT they will make the whole community bear the electrical, water, and building costs of a data center owned by a billionaire.
Israel used white phosphorus in Gaza. It clings to flesh, burns through to the bone, and reignites when you try to put it out. This isn’t war. It’s torture. And the world stood by and watched.
Everyone needs to hear this.
The UN didn't print the names of Palestinian children murdered by Israel.
Why?
Because they feared Israel would respond by murdering their families.
Israel is a threat to everyone on earth.
El capitán de la Selección de Irán, Mehdi Taremi, explotó contra la FIFA y la organización de Estados Unidos.
“Esta es una Copa del Mundo desastrosa. Como jugadores profesionales no podemos jugar una competición en estas condiciones, no está bien ni es justo. Si la FIFA piensa que esto es justo, tema de ellos, pero no lo es. ¿Quién debería solucionar este problema por nosotros? ¿La FIFA? ¿EE.UU.? ¡No sé! Díganme un nombre. El presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, vino a nuestro vestuario después del primer partido contra Nueva Zelanda y dijo que iba a resolver todos los problemas, pero en realidad, la FIFA no hizo nada. Respondiendo la pregunta de: "¿Sienten que los organizadores de la Copa del Mundo, incluidos la FIFA y los funcionarios estadounidenses, prefieren que Irán sea eliminado de la competencia?", digo: Tenemos que luchar contra absolutamente todo. No podemos quedarnos en el país, viajamos y nos sometemos a controles migratorios cada vez que queremos jugar, ahora no podemos quedarnos en Seattle y tenemos que volver a Tijuana. Han hecho todo lo posible para eliminarnos, entonces desde nuestra perspectiva, sí, creo que lo quieren así, nos quieren afuera”.
🚨🇦🇱 BREAKING: Day 27 of mass protests in Tirana, Albania
⚡️What began as opposition to a controversial development has become a broader movement demanding accountability, transparency, and the resignation of PM Edi Rama.
⚡️Protesters accuse the government of enabling land grabs by powerful interests, favoring oligarchs and billionaire developers, including the Trump–Kushner resort project over the interests of ordinary Albanians.
✊️🇦🇱Twenty-seven days later, the people are still in the streets.
✊️🇦🇱Their message has not changed:
"Albania is not for sale"

‘It is a genocide’
Refusing to be silenced 👏

Sanonpa tämän nyt ihan suoraan: minua iljettää Elon Musk. Kenelläkään ei pitäisi olla niin paljon rahaa ja sen kautta valtaa. Hänen lukemattomat rasistiset ja ihmisarvoa loukkaavat ulostulonsa ovat yksinkertaisesti yököttäviä.
Mientras tanto en Francia, a la misma vez que el pais sufre el día más caluroso de su historia y la gente se asfixia en sus pisos, Louis Vuitton organizó un desfile para ricos con una ola de agua residencial en la Ciudad Universitaria de Paris.
La distopía capitalista, donde los ricos gastan agua por capricho mientras a ti te dicen que ahorres agua en la ducha para salvar al planeta.
Today, I learned they have now created a method of pain relief for vasectomies that doesn’t involve local anesthesia via a needle (it is apparently a small blast of air to make the medication go through the skin).
In case you need to wonder exactly how or why women are ANGRY over the disparities in healthcare that exist, women still don’t get local anesthesia for an IUD insertion as a standard practice, current day OB/GYN’s still use a speculum that was designed in 1870.
It’s way absurd...
