It's important to note, as I have multiple times, that it's possible to be Jewish - as I am - and still condemn Israel for genocidal acts. In fact, the history of Judaism makes it clear Jews are obligated to speak out. Never again *means* never again. #zachor
Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'
'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

Dear #CongressDems:
Been a long week. My beloved ended up in the hospital, and it's left me reflecting a lot on our healthcare system. Not so much on the #shutdown. It also has me thinking about how my love and I would be married by now, save that we can't afford it.

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

I don't think people realize what an immediate impact this is going to have on outbreak response and containment.
According to a state epidemiologist, "CDC personnel who normally share information with state officials during outbreaks have been eliminated."
“One veteran researcher who still has his job (and, like other public-health workers I spoke with for this story, requested anonymity for fear of losing it) told me he believes that Kennedy’s ultimate goal is to “silence the scientific voice of career CDC scientists.””

Hold the line. Remain strong in the belief that what you are standing up for is right. In the coming days and weeks, Trump is going to become more unhinged, and his party will have to continue to cover for him. Something will likely break, but that's on them.
