There are millions of USians who think they're "good people" and never question how their actions are perpetuating the most atrocious harms to others.

Six years into forever-Covid, the evidence is unequivocal
Cvirus is an airborne, disabling, neuroinvasive vascular disease that can damage immunity, blood vessels & organs, increasing their risk of heart failure, diabetes & cognitive, behavioural & psychiatric disorders. And there’s no cure

One of the reasons Texas and most of the US felt it was overblown was because lockdown started before it had spread much, but instead of systematic, coordinated reopening, we just let it rip to varying degrees and over a million died. And counting.
there’s a thread on reddit right now called “was COVID really that bad?” and it is interesting to read people’s accounts five years out

there seems to be a collective trauma response where people (outside of healthcare workers) don’t remember how many people died

someone called it anticlimactic

Viral infections across the life course increase one's risk of dementia. We knew that before 2020. We forgot it by 2023.
" Here we present a large-scale longitudinal analysis of health records from more than 100 million individuals in the U.S that demonstrates a consistent relationship of VZV reactivation with dementia after controlling for nearly 400 measured characteristics."

Naming harms done to POC needs to start with not coddling entitled white fragility. If you want to do decolonizing work with us, start by STFU and listening to black elders. #WhiteOopsiesAndWhiteOuchies

Race, gender & disability aren't real biological traits. They're social constructs that empire has created to establish heirarchy and levels of dehumanization. They were so successful that these absurd constructs have shaped the world. They've justified genocides, colonization and chattel slavery.

We wish just minding our business and being kind to others would save us from the violence and subjugation.
But look at Palestine.
Look at Sudan.
Look at Congo.
WE ARE NO DIFFERENT.
Our history and our ancestors' history informs us, but it doesn't protect us.
We have to be human for each other now.

I appreciate this as an idea, but I don't see how it carries any force in reality.

"The TRiiBE asked why people should feel safe with this new executive order, given that federal agents have ignored his previous order to not wear masks within city limits."
HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”

“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

How would $50M change your life?

You'd have more than enough for yourself, your family, for generations. If you taxed Elon Musk at 99.99%, so he only controlled .01% of the wealth he currently controls—he'd still have $50M.

No one needs or earns $500B. Abolish billionaires. Save democracy. Period.

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it

Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

It is not a coincidence that US "law enforcement" trains with the IOF, and then steals families out of their homes in violent, terrifying, middle-of-the-night raids, exactly the way the IOF does in the West Bank and all of occupied Palestine.

The deployment of ICE agents in downtown Chicago today reminded me of the flash marches that neo-Nazi groups carry out when they all pile out of vans and march around for a bit to make propaganda videos, then quickly leave. Except these assholes have the force of law and kidnapped people.

If Covid were really over, or “no big deal”, masks wouldn’t anger people.

No one cared when you wore a mask before the pandemic.

People are irrationally angry at those of us still masking, because it reminds them of their failure to adapt. Of the risk they’re taking.

They can’t cope with it.

Quick reminder that consuming Tylenol has a 0% chance of causing autism but consuming MAGA at all has a 100% chance of causing fascism.
