i’ve said it before: my parents told their right wing families to fuck off (literally) in the early 1970s over vietnam + civil rights

since then, every member of my family, including my 20 yr old white nephew, has voted straight blue

this is how we build a movement + win
The vice president ran an excellent campaign. The past 4 years while she was working to make the country better. A right wing campaign was growing. Start talking to your family & friends. The root of the problem isn’t on the top. It’s locally !

LONG COVID

‘Our system does not know what to do with you.’
Why do I wear an N95 mask?
Bc Covid will happily destroy your immune system, more each time you get it. It can give you a whole new syndrome and/or awaken & worsen dormant viruses+syndromes.
You do not want a mystery disease like my loved one has now. Our system does not know what to do with you.

one of my favorite things is when my manfriend, who looks like an off-duty contract killer, walks my chihuahuas. it’s especially adorable when queenie turnip winter wears her fluffy pink coat; and he’s just scowling, in all black, with this tiny, prancing dog

1) Moving paper by young ME/CFS researcher Katherine Cheston. She was aware of the great disability it causes but "encountering the reality of this suffering first-hand was still shocking and deeply saddening."

She gives examples of patients who do not get appropriate care.

I can't call it progress until they find treatments. I'm about to start year SEVEN of long COVID. Like how is it even possible to be sick for seven years in 2026 in a world where a number of people have unlimited wealth, and there's not even any treatments? It seems actually stupid at times.
'An estimated 400 million people have been affected by long COVID since 2020, with a $1 trillion annual cost to the global economy.'

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

there’s also millions of us in the US
At Christmas please spare a thought for those in Britain who have been left to self shielding for 6 years with really poor vaccine access, no ffp3 respirators in healthcare and no clean air. I wonder when this will be discussed. Hundreds of thousands of people left behind.

I maintain that much of the events of the past five years can be explained by COVID19-induced sub-clinical brain damage. Most folks have had it, it knocks ~2 points off IQ (using it as an approximation for cognitive ability here), and, like 1.5℃ of climate change, that's much worse than it sounds.

+1.5 MILLION disabled adults in two months.

Entering year 7
In the 12th wave.

Disability is accumulating because infection is accumulating.

You can pretend it’s over.

Remember that in the winter of 2020-2021, we *made a whole strain of influenza extinct* by staying home more and wearing masks when we went out.
A lot of people are sick right now.

Flu and Covid are raging, but the good news is a well fitted respirator can prevent both!

A good mask like an N95 is very effective at stopping flu and Covid.

My article looks at how to choose one, how to fit test, where to buy & more.

Mask up & save lives!
We’re Witnessing the Fall of Public Health… and Your Best Tool is a Mask
Measles in Texas, bird flu in Louisiana, tuberculosis in Kansas and Covid everywhere. Public health has been dying a slow death for years, we can’t count on it anymore. What can we count on? A mask!

Yup - viruses kill but before they kill you you can spend 40years being unable to move, exercise, have children, keep your career, and you can watch your family fall apart. All because you wouldn’t wear a mask?
