Going into winter I'd like to take a moment to share my masking precautions for covid/illness prevention.😄

1. Time, Distance, Shielding

Minimize exposure wherever practical. Follow the ALARA principle: As Low As Reasonably Achievable. This is the key principle of radiation safety as well.

Great piece by @drjudystone.bsky.social 🤩

"Last week, the WHN sent a letter to the WHO urging them to declare respirators as the default protection for healthcare workers, rather than surgical masks. They said that FFP2/3 respirators or N95s should be the standard."

World Health Network experts urge WHO to make N95, KN95, or FFP2 respirators the standard for protection for healthcare workers, not inferior surgical masks.

So, the DOJ is part of the Epstein coverup? I just want to make sure I have this right.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

It'd be easier to address microplastics if WaPo didn't constantly fluff the guy who doesn't believe in protecting the environment.
Experts say microplastics from synthetic fabrics are a growing environmental concern. New research suggests polyester microfibers from laundry can harm cherry tomato plant growth, with implications for agriculture. https://wapo.st/3LPksoa

Currently, Indigenous people are housed in the ICE facility in Minnesota. We want to make it clear that this isn’t isolated to Minnesota, nationwide indigenous people are being harassed if not outright targeted by ICE operations. We need to be more vocal about these issues!

Minnesota Star Tribune Editorial Board: Minnesota is under siege. This cannot stand.

"ICE presence has disrupted all aspects of life in Minnesota, and led tragically to the death of Renee Good. It’s the outcome of government overreach that favors force over legitimacy."

🚨 No accident they just announced a DOJ probe into Walz and Frey—potential pretext for Insurrection Act. Trump literally said this, as I detailed in my story

Yes, but it's also a bald-faced attempt to overthrow democratically elected members of state government. Very serious situation, but I also think it will fail.

More governors, in particular, need to speak on this because they're next otherwise.
I think that worrying about Trump’s absurdly incompetent DOJ investigating Walz and Frey is largely doing the propaganda work that they want it to. It sucks ass and it’s not normal or whatever, but keep your head on straight until something actually happens with it.

Let’s call this what it is: a disgusting abuse of power and a farce.

As his agents terrorize Minnesotans, as prices rise, as he fails to deliver for Americans, he is also weaponizing the DOJ against his perceived enemies.

This is not a banana republic and justice will prevail.
