This is why chronically ill people keep trying to warn people about Long Covid. America does not have adequate social supports. You will destroy your body trying to push through, and it still won’t be enough.

🛑No. Help. Is. Coming. 🛑

It scares me to realize there are millions upon millions of people like me, barely hanging on, no help from governments, pushing through & ignoring symptoms so they can go through the motions, until it’s too late & they collapse. It only took 3 years for me to reach this point.

Men who have actual relationships with women usually know this because they see us without makeup and even naked sometimes.

Women are out here sharing live locations, checking the backseats of cars, and holding their hands over their drinks. Men are doing 3 hour podcasts about how unfair it is that we don't smile at them. The disconnect is fatal.

Imagine if Iran bombed Washington and killed students in schools, what would you call it? Terrorists

The U.S. and Israel bombed Tehran and killed students in schools. Why do you call it a "pre-emptive strike"?

Bombing a school is a war crime under international humanitarian law

Wars can only be declared by Congress.

Taxes can only be levied by Congress.

Spending can only be appropriated by Congress.

Laws can only be passed by Congress.

Any President who refuses to work with Congress is an enemy of the Constitution and the rule of law.

This is a deliberate policy choice to encourage the spread of HIV, because keeping HIV+ people at undetectable viral levels stops the sexual transmission of the virus entirely. Florida is choosing to give people HIV and to allow it to develop into AIDS.

We are now at 1136 new measles cases - in just the first 8 weeks of this year alone.

A preventable disease resurging.

This is an abject policy failure.

[Michael Mina @michaelmina_lab]

I study measles. I’ve seen the devastating toll it takes on children’s immune systems

It drives immunological amnesia and erases parts of protective immune memory and sets kids up for secondary infections months and years later

Its not benign

we’re always told there’s no money for libraries, for healthcare, for universities, for high speed rail, for sewer upgrades, and yet there’s always infinite money for war

Reporter: ''So you agree that people who break in and vandalize a building should be prosecuted?''

JD Vance: ''Yes''

Reporter: ''Ok, I'm just checking, because you helped raise money for people who did so on January 6th''

Great to see @Bloomberg covering the latest science on Covid ⬇️

“The picture that emerged was of a slow shift playing out beneath the surface of entire populations: a rise in cognitive problems, subtle declines in functional capacity & lost independence”

I know this isn’t the main story or key point today but remember that billions of dollars are being effortlessly expended today bombing a country, which Americans don’t support and no US lawmaker voted for. Remember that next time they tell you there is no money for healthcare.

Reminder that 37% of folks on SNAP are elderly and disabled, and oftentimes don’t have the ability to stand outside a food bank for hours and then carry it all home.

If you have a car, offer to give your elders and disabled neighbors a ride to the food bank.

Trump’s new Defense plan quietly outlines a “National Guard response force” trained in crowd control and civil unrest, to be deployed across all 50 states by April 2026.

Let that sink in.

They’re not preparing to leave office; they’re preparing to lock the country down.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

You honestly want me to believe that “Hamas” was in every single one of those houses? Every building on every street? As far as the eye can see?

Congratulations to the United States for making the Human Rights Watch list for the 1st time in 249 years under the leadership of Donald Trump, just in time for his administration to mark the occasion by proposing to break federal law and slap his face on a 250th anniversary coin

Do people realise that, if you have WHOOPING COUGH (also known as 100 day cough or pertussis), you’re infectious until…

🚨 3 WEEKS AFTER SYMPTOMS START

…and must stay off school/work for the FULL 3 WEEKS, even if you don’t feel too unwell…

….UNLESS you’ve had antibiotics?
