My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

If you preorder your own copy through my fave bookstore (they'll mail it to you) or directly from AK Press, you will get an extra letter from me tucked into your book when it arrives. That extra letter is about this moment in Chicago and what I think it means to be "effective" right now.

Nimbus Covid variant (nicknamed “razor blade throat”) is widespread in the US

China reported a doubling in hospitalized cases, and there are anecdotal reports on social media that some doctors have died & they’re seeing pneumonia again

It’s difficult to verify, but an excellent reason to mask up!

It’s important to pay attention to the fact that there are simultaneous efforts to criminalize mask-wearing by citizens and to standardize the wearing of face-obscuring gaiters by people purporting to be law enforcement.

I agree, and same goes for anti maskers. If you’re not masking right now during an ongoing pandemic you should feel shame. In a just world you’d be socially ostracized for cavalierly killing and disabling people.
The narrative that anti-vaxxers or QAnon weirdos will come back from the brink if we're nice enough to them isn't tenable morally and doesn't hold up empirically. Ostracizing people whose beliefs harm others is a critical aspect of a functioning marketplace of ideas.

RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM.

They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone.

For nearly 60 days, no food, fuel, medicine or other items has entered the Gaza Strip, blocked by Israel.

Aid groups are running out of food to distribute. Markets are nearly bare.

Palestinian families are left struggling to feed their children.

As a long time public defender/criminal defense attorney, I can think of only two clients ever who talked to the cops & walked out of trial not guilty.

Two. Out of hundreds who talked.

Talking to the cops gets you prison time. Miranda said shut the fuck up. Listen to Miranda.

A lot of people with chronic illness are flaring right now due to the stress of the state of the world.

Living through end stage capitalism and escalating fascism takes a tremendous toll.

It’s important we all resist at our own pace. Don’t be afraid to rest. Unplug. Recharge.

Just gonna make this clear! You aren't taking from other people when you buy a mobility or disability aid. Use what you need when you need it. Every level of disability deserves support. For example, you wouldn't say you won't get glasses because others need it more.

I've always kind of assumed a cure for fibromyalgia wouldn't be found in my lifetime, but I didn't think it would be because we just *stopped trying*.
Some bad news for people living with #MECFS.

Under the 2026 "passback", the "reorganization" of HHS and CDC would cut all ME/CFS funding from CDC.

I think this is a 'scoop', since I'm unaware of anyone having reported on it, yet.

Let's talk about what a passback is, and what it means for us. 🧵🧪

Speaking of which, Bona Fide Masks is currently offering 25% off with coupon code SPRING25. They have Powecom KN95s, among other things.

I have masks at the moment, but this still seems like a good moment to stock up for later on, whether for myself or to share if others need them.
