Cardiologists seeing more cases of POTS since the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic
POTS is a condition that disrupts the body's ability to regulate blood flow while changing positions. Dr. Charles Hong says they have seen a sharp rise since COVID.

As kids get sicker, media ignores scientific papers pointing to immune damage after COVID. Instead, parents are urged to “watch out” for unusual waves of RSV, flu, pneumonia, & more, while masks, clean air and the pandemic are pointedly never mentioned.

Kids keep getting sicker as evidence for COVID immune damage builds
As the press pushes "immunity debt" past the breaking point of believability, are parents ready to wake up to the illness crisis?

The pandemic is ongoing.
When the mask mandate was lifted in 2022, it didn’t mean the pandemic ended
What it did mean, is that most people (incl. the gov’t & mainstream media), were interested in the illusion that it was over
🤑 over people
There’s no universally accepted date of “pandemic is over” as it’s misinformation

Don’t forget about tomorrow’s Take Down Tesla protests happening across the country! Since we launched the Elon boycott, Tesla’s stock has plummeted from over $400 to $262. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Defunding schools who allow protests is some next level fascist garbage.
But please don’t miss the “No masks!” Line.
JD Vance instituted a federal ban on mask mandates. Many States and counties have banned masks with problematic & insufficient medical exemptions
If you want to resist? Mask up!

Visited my mom today. Her partner died a few days ago. He was a wonderful man, gone much too soon. We hung some of the paintings he owned in her living room, reminisced, cried, hugged a lot. Grieving is so hard. Glad I could be there for her though.

Today is Disability Day of Mourning.
Please take a moment to remember those who have been lost at the hands of family and caregivers.
We are also mourning those lost to COVID.
Many disabled people are afraid for their lives right now, reasonably so.
Please, just a moment, just remember them.

One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy.

"Singer, who has been accused of making transphobic statements on social media, allegations she denies."
Certainly can't deny it now, if she even could reasonably do so before.
Judy Singer is an unrepentant TERF & deserves all natural consequences that go along with those views & that behavior.

It's $880 billion over the next decade. Still cruel, but ending Medicaid is too stupid even for the GOP to consider. So it is more like a 10% cut, which is still massive.
Most of the budget and cuts are written that way. The tax cuts would add ~$4.7 Trillion deficit over a decade.

Some “moderate” Republicans flipped & ended up supporting this evil budget resolution. They voted to cut Medicaid & services their constituents depend on. The budget fight isn’t over. But if you are represented by any of these people that voted yes.. make sure they hear from you.
Congressional Republicans tried to pull a fast one. They called off the budget vote that cuts healthcare for over 38 million children and just put it back up after everyone left to try and make some Democrats miss the vote. Many Dems are voting by card to keep the vote open. I just did mine.
