With the massive surge of COVID variants/cases, a gentle reminder:
You *can* start staying home now, even if you weren't before.
You *can* start masking effectively, even if you weren't before.
It's not weak to put your health, and the health of others, over pride.
I think about billionaires a lot (kinda my job?) so let me say this:
Most every billionaire on the planet would happily kill you for an extra few points on their investment. This isn't theoretical, it literally happens. They literally make decisions they know will kill people.
Trump was spared a mugshot.
Trump was spared handcuffs.
Trump will sleep in his own bed tonight.
At every step of this process, we’re reminded that the rich and powerful are treated better than our communities who are actually targeted by the criminal legal system.
Corporations are now using the “labor shortage” as an excuse to bring back child labor.
It’s part of a horrifying trend: Since 2015, child labor violations have risen nearly 300%.
Are corporate profits really more important than the safety of children?
What does control of flu look like? Many things on many levels, but for the general public the tools we know work are vaccines, masking, hand washing, cough/ sneeze hygiene, staying home when sick, & surface cleaning.
Using multiple tools is better, whichever you choose to do.
Two heroic women found the baby on their own after they literally spoon fed clueless police into arresting the kidnapper. The baby was in a locked snow covered car in a parking lot - would have died of exposure and dehydration. Wow.
Trump’s tax returns prove he didn’t donate his Presidential salary once and paid Stormy Daniels the $130K in hush money. But hey, at least we sidestepped the ridiculously overqualified woman whose emails contained no classified information.
Thinking about how the budget Congress just passed has more money for the military and cops than everything else put together. The plan is clearly to police us through the collapse of society, not prevent the collapse.
Put a mask on you and your children. Don’t risk lifelong chronic illness, disability and/ or death. Every infection increases your risks of #LongCOVID.
