I really need to spend more time on here, especially in terms of contact with other #LongCOVID folks. This illness is so isolating. We need to stick together.

I worked at a healthcare facility last July - I told them I wouldn't go back as the ventilation was so poor (the dip was me going outside for a break).

So they've increased the fresh air intake, put 2 HEPA filters in the rooms and the staff are wearing N95s

We'll get there 😷👍

All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

And all have broken that promise.

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

The US may be about to launch an operation from its bases on UK soil against an oil tanker.

I ask what and when the UK government will be informed about the operation. Will we have any say on its nature?

No answer

Continuing to show that 'Britons' haven't got a clue about what's important. Viable planet anyone? This is why we can't have nice things.
What do the public say the govt’s #1 priority for 2026 should be? Respondents answered in their own words, which we have categorised

1. Tackling immigration: 23%
2. Cost of living: 16%
3. Economy: 10%
4. NHS: 5%
5. Climate change: 3%

The lesson of January 6th is that it does absolutely no good to prosecute the the violent foot soldiers if you're not going to prosecute the leaders and hold them accountable for their sedition under the full force of the law.

For MAGA, the 1,600 Jan. 6 rioters pardoned by Trump are not white supremacist cop-beaters, violent criminals & seditious conspiracists: they are “patriots,” “political prisoners” & “hostages.”

MAGA is rewriting history. Democrats will keep telling the truth, the foundation of democracy.

The stupidest people in the world continue to get cheered on by those whose lives will only be made worse by their actions.

While the majority of us remain hostages to it all.

Darren Jones saying repeatedly the Labour Government won't comment on a hypothetical.

It's not hypothetical - Trump is saying very loudly repeatedly what he's done and boasting about it.

And yet the UK Government won't even say it's a breach of international rules. Shameful.

The EU banned that practice in 1997 and as such the UK has among the highest welfare and standards in the world. 1/2

Every American should be ashamed of who we are and what we have become as a nation today. We have a long history of military misadventures and even crimes but the attacks we have been conducting on Venezuela are among the most wanton, egregious and least defensible acts we’ve ever conducted.

Tax breaks for foreign millionaires but mass deportations for the rest. Huge austerity and NHS cuts, replacing NHS with insurance model, scrapping NetZero, workers’ rights and online safety act. And a trade war with the EU.

#OneOfTheTwo who still masks because my Spouse and I are still Covid-negative, which means we are part of the ever dwindling control group for the mass-infection uncontrolled experiment that bad policy has created for everyone.

(Also, I have been sick once in 6 years, and you know, it’s AMAZING!)
Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.
