Trump has normalised violence, lies, deceit, bullying. His behaviour gives all right wing nationalists in the UK the boost they need. Musk is even worse.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears.
Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak.
They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent.
This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

There are only 4,400 signatures on this petition because billionaires convinced everyone via social media and some MSM that COVID was mild and wouldn’t impact them. They thought just ‘vulnerable’ people would be impacted. Wrong! We are officially still in a Pandemic, it doesn’t take long to 🧵
💙 Please can you do one small thing for me this Sunday.
Please spare a minute to sign this ⬇️ petition.
And then please try to find at least one more person to sign it - maybe a partner or friend?
Together, we can get it to at least 10K signatures!

Thanks @francesryan.bsky.social @doctoroxford.bsky.social et al for a great article looking back over the last five years
For The Guardian’s “Covid: 5 Years On” panel, I wrote about shielding and how the pandemic has affected attitudes to disabled people. (Plus lots of other areas by my colleagues and guest writers.) www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Five years on from the pandemic, how has Covid changed our world? | The panel
We asked a group of experts on politics, trade, literature, psychology, work and more: what has been the most surprising or shocking consequence of Covid-19 in your field?

With the official advice from the NHS saying that Covid-19 is mainly spread by ‘droplet and touch’ but the World Health Organisation saying the primary spread is ‘airborne’, the message to staff and patients is confused

The NHS is failing to do enough to protect people from catching Covid
When Janice called paramedics for her mum, they told her 'Covid is over' and refused to mask up. This is endemic of the problems in the NHS.

Trump is now talking about placing tariffs on pharmaceutical products to try to force drugs companies to move production to the US. Americans already have very high medical costs - now they’re going to get higher.

Fiction is often a predictor of horrors to come. The Handmaid's Tale was such a horror, years ago, but it's all come true - in Afghanistan, in Iran, and now in the United States of America. It all starts with the erosion of rights, often of female rights, then of other minorities. Stand up. Now.
