After my first article on the underlying science of long COVID, I felt an investigation into the politics surrounding the condition was needed... there are reasons why so few want to tackle what may be one of the biggest health issues of the 21st century

BREAKING: “Xi hails new era in US-China relations, but warns Trump on Taiwan” -@CNN. Whatever Beijing offers in return, Taiwan is too high a price for America to sacrifice. My research for @LSEIRDept explains why any “deal” would backfire down the road https://t.co/H4S15GbQID

Remember the movie Don’t Look Up… What if the real threat we’re all ignoring isn’t an asteroid, but Long COVID? https://t.co/rpVW0AWaFn

@TheAtlantic Idk depends on whether Democrats have learned their lesson about the far left https://t.co/hpirj67kab

[Philip Finkelstein @phil_fink]

I wonder if @elonmusk and @joerogan would return to @TheDemocrats?

@elonmusk I’d be curious to know your thoughts being that you’re mentioned

[The SAIS Review of International Affairs @SAISReview]

Philip Finkelstein writes how Donald Trump resurrected the doctrine of "peace through strength," but in doing so, blurred the line between power as a means of deterrence and power as a justification for dominance.

The question has apparently become not just whether AI will one day take over the world, but whether, in our haste to advance it, we will voluntarily degrade the only world we can survive in, writes @phil_fink. https://t.co/CIOvy99Zi3

[Conor Browne @brownecfm]

'Disability isn’t securitized like death. That makes it the ideal objective for anyone with time to kill (no pun intended). Death by a thousand cuts. The frog in boiling water. This concept is as old as time. Yet time somehow remains our blind spot'

Thought provoking piece.

[Philip Finkelstein @phil_fink]

What if we're overlooking the gravest threats to society? What if these threats aren't external, but come from within? Rome wasn't built in a day, and it wasn't destroyed in one either. This piece explores how we might just be doomscrolling toward doomsday https://t.co/k73bzSJVck

Following up on my prior reporting, @mendenhall_em and I unpack the historical roots of post-viral illness and the persistent blind spots in medicine and policy.

[Think Global Health @ThinkGlobalHlth]

From the Cough of Perinthus in ancient Greece to Long COVID in the modern world, societies have toiled under post-viral illnesses.

@mendenhall_em and @phil_fink describe the history of these conditions, which have struggled to breach mainstream policy. https://t.co/o7CdjIfICp

[Philip Finkelstein @phil_fink]

In this current era of echo chambers and polarization, journalism can only reach so far. Reporting on #LongCovid has revealed the limitations of our media ecosystem and societal attention span. Perhaps there’s a better way to effect widespread change…

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

"Transitioning to renewable and green energies will not only help save the planet from pollution and further destruction, but can also serve to destabilize unfriendly regimes, undermine terrorism, and encourage democratization abroad," writes @phil_fink.

[Philip Finkelstein @phil_fink]

CCL has always focused its messaging to appeal to a larger swath of the population. Beyond benefiting the environment and economy, switching to renewable energy bolsters American foreign policy and encourages democracy abroad. Just another angle for climate activists to consider.

[Common Dreams @commondreams]

Those guiding the climate change debate should therefore aim to get the conversation to a place where voting against renewable transformation is intrinsically felt to be a vote against democracy itself, writes @phil_fink. https://t.co/qhMTYs1wsK
