Realpolitik is cagey AF.
Trump withholding billions from NYC would cripple Mamdani's potentially revolutionary reforms.
Trump probably will do so anyway—because he's insane. But I for one welcome the attempt. I don't see someone who kissed the ring. I see a demented douchepuppet being played.

For someone who's an expert on climate, gotta say you don't skeet a lot about climate.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
Not even a hint of what's coming.
The #ClimateCrisis is accelerating.
And we're still stepping on the gas.

As the husband of an ER doctor who wears a fit-tested N95 religiously, I can assure you she is in the minority.
Public health has failed us all. Doctors, nurses and staff included.

It should be noted however that we haven't manged to find a way to successfully break down said microclots. There have been some anecdotal reports of improvement in Long COVID patients subsequent to anticoagulant therapy, but no conclusive data from any RCT to back up said claims.

As far as I know, studies on blood thinning treatment for microclots have been inconclusive. I myself tried anticoagulant triple therapy after reading up on Pretorius' work back in 2023. For four months. No benefits.

99% of "breakthroughs" tend to be hyperbolic bids for more grant money. This, however, looks like it might be the real thing. Few degenerative diseases are as vicious as ALS. If science can beat that, it can beat anything.
There is no cure for #LongCOVID or #MECFS… Yet.
But this gives me hope.

In world first, Israeli scientists use RNA-based gene therapy to stop ALS deterioration
By adding a microRNA molecule to ALS models, Tel Aviv University, Ben-Gurion University and Weizmann Institute researchers say the damaged nerve cells 'even regenerated'

The absence of clear biomarkers isn't helping us any. Hard to diagnose—let alone treat—something you can't see.
But the gaslighting is real.
I was a feminist before. Long COVID has made me all the more. To those ass-hat misogynists who dismiss this, I have two words: just wait.

So it would seem I am every woman.
And I say this as a man.
Granted, one in touch with his feminine side, but still. Not cool, mother nature. Not cool at all. #LongCOVID
(I know, I know. "Three times more likely" means you need that point of reference. You're welcome)

Agreed. Can't breathe? Try having permanently scarred lungs.
Day 834 - The inevitability of catching COVID, the flu, RSV is so hard baked into our psyches that even suggesting things could be different is met with, at best, indifference... Ok, so what about drug-resistant Tuberculosis? Bird flu? What makes you think what happened to me won't happen to you?

NGL, I don't look forward anymore.
I just keep my eyes on the ground.
One foot in front of the other.
That is, when #LongCOVID even allows me to.

I count it from when I tested positive. The PEM only hit well over a month later, after my first attempt at accomplishing a somewhat normal task. That's when I suspected something was up. After my 2nd crash (another month later), I knew. Sorry to hear it, Harry. That's 1423 days too many.
