Trump long ago established that he’s a racist to the bone. He and his father wouldn’t rent to Black people. He said, “Laziness is a trait in Blacks.” He said some white supremacists in Charlottesville were “very fine people.”

We don’t talk about it enough. trib.al/ePTQc5A
Yep—Trump Is Still the Most Racist President of the Last 100 Years
His racism defines nearly everything he does. And it is making the United States of America a cruel, sick, mean place.

Trump Defies Court Order—Blocks $1B in Medical Research

Despite a judge’s order to restore NIH funding, Trump is stalling grant reviews, delaying $1B every 3 days. Experts say this violates the ruling, shutting down labs and stalling research. Congress and courts must act now to enforce the law.

Not a cold.
Not no big deal.

“Of 3663 participants, …27.1% reported current Long COVID, and [only] 65 (1.8%) reported resolved Long COVID.”

From 2020 to 2024, a study of 6.4 million COVID-19 patients across the U.S. found that 10-26% of adults and 4% of children developed long COVID.

Risk was highest in older adults, women, and those with severe infections.

This is one of the most deshumanising symptoms experienced by #pwME. Having 'feelings' makes you actually sick. Emotional stress (good or bad). For real. Add the inability to process information/sensorial/social input... there are no words actually to describe this unique cognitive state.
We are robbed of any emotion. It is possibly the hardest thing to deal with, being FORCED to deal with no feelings about anything, potentially forever
