Let’s be absolutely fucking clear about what is going on here.
If a newspaper headline said “this must be the year Britain finally kills off Jewish ideology”, the police would not be sitting around splitting hairs about wording.

This is a public health crisis and cis people acting like it isn’t because it targets trans children primarily (even though it will affect cis children too!!) is nasty business
RFK Jr. announces new rules targeting care for transgender youth
If approved, the proposed federal regulations would dramatically impact an already challenging landscape.

If you don’t care about long covid you don’t care about the working class. Also—- note how small that important long covid drug study is. Our government is not investing in treatments at the scale needed to keep society functioning.

![Vanderbilt researchers are conducting an immune profiling study on people with Long COVID and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). In the cross-sectional study, researchers are comparing three inflammatory markers in 150 people with POTS, Long COVID, and those with a history of SARS-C0V-2 infections who did not develop long-term symptoms. The researchers are evaluating a hypothesis that “post-COVID-19 POTS is caused by reduced [parasympathetic] activity, which in turn, contributes to persistent inflammation [and] orthostatic intolerance.” Contact: Marwa Mohamed, marwa.mohamed@vumc.org.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:age5xvis2s2vy5qiz2tjxoc6/bafkreigcdjuadbbervdk6vz2ig7a7mwwvy47piyzxu7xjqtop767fsubnq@jpeg)

I am very tired of claims that maskers or covid cautious people are all just antisocial weirdos who wanted an excuse to hide forever. Many of us had active, full social lives that we would still have - if you would agree to help make the environment safe. You won’t, so we’re trapped.

The greatest and most important danger (and likely intention) of this is to fuck with mail-in voting, but ALSO I want to highlight this for my writer friends who plan to apply for any fellowships or programs next year, as those are all postmark-dependent & a lot of folks push it right to the limit.
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

NEW from @azrww.bsky.social: We wondered what Turning Point would look like after Charlie Kirk's murder. At this year's AmericaFest, his friends, colleagues & wife are making hay on his grave while bickering over which racists are too racist for polite company in front of neo-Nazi attendees.

With Charlie Kirk dead, this year’s AmericaFest quickly devolved into conservative in-fighting about whether it’s fine to hang out with open neo-Nazis.
