Myth 1: Being young and fit protects you from #LongCovid
Fact: WRONG ! all ages & fitness levels can be affected including kids & athletes - often after mild or asymptomatic infection. There’s no way to predict who will be affected or how serious that it may be
Many are still ill after 6 years!

Had my Facebook account disabled. Completely unclear in what way it violated the rules, other than that I frequently post about resistance to authoritarianism and ICE. Not wanting to give Meta a copy of my photo ID to get it back. Anyway, look for me here. Curious if anyone has noticed a pattern?

Absolutely endless monster behavior from ICE & CBP. Detaining parents seeking urgent healthcare for their kids and who, in this case, had petitioned for asylum. All at the same hospital where they shot two people earlier this month.

Let’s talk about abolishing ICE.
Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.”
