It is interesting how the CDC recently changed the graphic to explain the #H5N1 spread without explicitly acknowledging it is an airborne virus. Lack of transparent communication did not help with the previous pandemic.
Before and After.
See the difference? We always knew #H5N1 generates aerosols.

How to make America healthier:
✅ Increase safety regulations
✅ Improve vaccine/treatment access
✅ Bolster public health interventions
✅ Medicare for all
Trump/RFK want to deregulate, restrict vaccines, dismantle public health, end ACA — the complete opposite of what we need.

We all want the option to peacefully end suffering.
disabled people NEED to be factored into discussions. When medical systems are strained (as is the case in Canada & UK) assisted dying provides HUGE costs savings.
This can result in “useless eaters” being pressured www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... 🧵

Now, more than ever, we need strong, independent journalism that will stand up to what is increasingly looking like an administration ready to burn press freedom to the ground.

Liberals joined conservatives to mainstream anti-vax beliefs about viruses and public health

i am once again reiterating that being transphobic towards someone who is a transphobe is still transphobia.
also, under no scenario is being a woman, trans, and/or queer an insult.
Elon had a trans daughter who disowned him because of how horrible he was to her.

Wow. Biden's former COVID czar—who downplayed the ongoing long-term impacts of COVID—just endorsed several of Trump's picks to lead health agencies. All of Trump's nominees have spread misinformation about vaccines, opposed lifesaving COVID measures, and promoted false health claims.

The system chose Trump long before Biden ever dropped out. The oligarchs are cracking the whip on us. The ruling class disenfranchised our votes with their monopoly control on money, media, algorithms, campaign strategies, etc., and the Democrats just sat back and let them drive the narratives 24/7.

Do you have an emergency “go bag” for when you need the hospital?
If you’re disabled or chronically ill - I can’t recommend this enough.
An ER trip is much easier with a bit of preparation.
What’s in my go bag? It’s in the article below (staples are meds, chargers, clothes, list of specialists)

Sometimes a hospital trip is unavoidable. People may call paramedics against your will - or you could lose consciousness & wake up in an ER
You may become sick with something acute which necessitates hospital intervention

Fascists aren't just going after trans folks cause they hate trans ppl. They know for a fact that liberals won't risk anything real to protect trans ppl making it an easy way to legally accumulate power to use on everyone else. This is them sharpening their blade on them for y'all.
