White Americans are learning once again that the *only* thing that has ever made you safe from fascism is being willing to sacrifice non-white people. That is your contract with white supremacy. "Give us someone else so it won't be you."

“There’s no point to calling because my senators already agree with me”

“There’s no point to calling because my senators won’t listen”

These are both false information and you should correct and/or block anyone circulating them. Your calls are tallied and create support and/or real pressure.

What do you think "better training" would even look like under this regime? What skills would be built and what habits would be sharpened? Let's be serious.

Oh I'm so sorry! My sister said "Please tell her I say she's not alone and I'm thinking of her and we got this."
I am on Facebook but not the Long COVID Discords. Are there FB groups you'd recommend?
Also thank you for your replies!! I really appreciate it ❤️

Thank you!! I'll ask her, but generally she can do phone calls! Is it okay if I dm you?

I'm sorry too. Would you be open to connecting with her? She doesn't know anyone else even close to as ill as her and can't do screens at all so can't reach out to people on the Internet herself. (Totally get if you don't have the spoons or interest!)

I was just talking to my sister about this past night! She has very severe LC and feels so disconnected from everyone, even including the disability community.

There’s a two party duopoly in this nation.

Is it great? No! Is it reality? Yes.

Creating a third party means building up an entirely new infrastructure from scratch and then fighting both R & D.

Taking over the Dem Party is an easier and more effective route. It’ll take time, but it’s worth it.

You know who the real freeloaders in this country are? Not people who rely on SNAP, but corporations whose business model depends on wages so low that taxpayers have to feed their workers.

It might not be from Covid… but most people will end up with a disability.

It’s a part of life. Either you die young and suddenly or you end up disabled.

To say you’re not worried, you don’t take precautions, you will “try harder” just shows the depths of denial.

it all works best if it’s a group effort, of course.

i only wore surgical or cloth masks for nearly first 2 years of the pandemic, but since nearly everyone else was still wearing their own masks (largely also surgical/cloth), i managed to grocery shop back then without getting sick.
