@CRCNA wait so the proposal to eliminate gravamina and require agreement or resignation by the end of the year is "not trying to shut down conversation" lol #crcsynod
“We are fearful for them... This stinks.” Oh FFS. You know what else stinks? Telling our LGBTQ+ siblings that they are not welcome. Screw your theatrical sorrow. #crcsynod
Reflecting on the miraculous growth that our kids - and we ourselves - have gone through in this magical and demanding first year as parents. https://t.co/hTHS2FuPkA
The @CDCgov doubles down on its flawed, not evidence based Covid recommendations with a new guidance document
1. Leaves fully vaccinated = 2 shots, stay "up to date"
2. Leaves isolation at 5 days w/o rapid tests
3. Pushes "community levels" when real info is "transmission levels"
The President first tested positive for COVID on July 21st, 14 days ago… and that’s just on antigen test which means he’s been sick for longer than that. CDC guidelines on 5 day isolation periods are too short and are a policy that helps prolong the pandemic. We need better.
An unpopular truth:
If we're going to be able to live with Covid, we will have to normalize the wearing of respirators indoors for some time.
We must reduce transmissions.
Folk who say 'masks don't work' are simpletons. No understanding of filtration nor nuance in mask types.

The thread has torn. The Michigan Court of Appeals has just ruled that MI’s 83 county prosecutors can now begin enforcing the abortion ban. But note that the Dem prosecuting attorneys have committed to refuse to enforce the ban, and the injunction still applies to my department.
A pharmaceutical-only approach is not currently the best public health approach to combat COVID. Interventions that disrupt airborne transmission are needed. At this time, these include indoor air ventilation, filtration, air disinfection w germicidal UV, and high-quality masks.
.@lis_smith makes the case that Dems should go on Fox more: “While some of their hosts might be acting in bad faith, a lot of their viewers aren’t, and that’s the only way they get their news. That’s the only way they’re ever gonna hear from Democrats.” https://t.co/I9pNteLNnk
In Brisbane, Australia a primary school was able to remain outbreak free during their Omicron wave so how did they do it ( https://t.co/oGflhlmrbo )? H/T: @nathalie_k1 5/
The insurrection marked the first time many realized the US is facing a burgeoning White Christian nationalist movement.
This movement uses Christian language to cloak sexism and hostility to Black people in its quest to create a White Christian America.

We’ve gutted education financing to fund police departments just so nearly 400 Uvalde cops in full military gear could stand around while 19 children and 2 teachers were killed and Texas police chiefs are still blaming the school for not having a better fence and locked doors.
Here’s the footage that Uvalde police tried to prevent being released.
It shows Cops running and hiding while 19 children & 2 teachers were being slaughtered. As innocent children screamed in pain, the “good guys with guns,” body armor, & rifles cowered.
UVALDE. The video that exposes the LIES.
Everyone needs to see this video and witness the cowardice (and lies) that tragically doomed these children and their teachers to death.
Via Austin American-Statesman:
NEW: The @statesman just published surveillance footage from the Uvalde mass school shooting, which shows police in ballistics gear waiting around in a school hallway and EVEN STOPPING TO GET HAND SANITIZER while children and educators were slaughtered. https://t.co/GJWZjMH9Y2
