One night recently, I got a Signal message

Would I be interested in seeing an internal Trump admin memo?

I said yes (duh). Then, I couldn’t believe what I was looking at.

The memo shows how the VA is making access to health coverage header for just one group:

Male vets w/ breast cancer….

BlueSky is a hub for right wingers cosplaying as Democrats who refuse to contend with the uniparty backing of an ongoing genocide to Palestinian, Sudanese, and Congolese people because at the heart of things, they have always been racists, capitalists, and imperialists. It’s disgusting.

Disability is one of the few minority groups you can join at any time.

People believe they will be the exception & have trouble accepting they’re likely to become disabled at some point in their lives.

Work on internalized ableism. Engage in disability justice. It will benefit you in the long run

What if COVID doesn't just make sick, but makes us easier to infect?

Experts say the virus is chipping away at our immune systems. But some aren’t convinced.

I spoke with doctors, scientists, and parents caught in a relentless cycle of illness, and here's what I found:
Is COVID quietly sabotaging our immune systems?
Experts are increasingly coalescing around the view that COVID has weakened our immune systems, leaving us vulnerable to other infections

Did you know that you can sign up for a Haymarket book club and they will send you a new book each month? My next one is Reconsidering Reparations. I can’t wait!
Happy Publication Day, @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social! 💐

Reconsidering Reparations is a book with profound implications for our views of justice, racism, the legacies of slavery and colonialism, and climate policy.

Covid is not a cold or the flu. Never was or will be. Though it might just cause you to die from another infection, like flu or RSV.

But let’s be clear. Covid kills far more people. Always did and will continue to… until we install precautions that protect us from all airborne pathogens.
