Y'all, I am simply begging you to start masking up again. We will have no information on the pandemic currently underway AND no information when/if H5N1 makes the jump.

Don't wait for someone from the government to tell you to start protecting yourself because it will be way too late if they do.
With Trump's withdrawal from the U.N. World Health Organization, the U.S. will likely fall behind on public health innovation and disease prevention, putting the country and the world at greater risk to the next pandemic.

This is a great piece.

No. Alot of people arent even gonna survive his first round of budget cuts they just announced last week if that bill passes
The next few days will be incredibly painful for disabled, LGBTQ+ & marginalized folks

I’m seeing alot of “we survived him once & we will do it again!”

I appreciate the sentiment, but gentle reminder that not everyone survived the first term

It’s ok to be scared & angry. I know I am.

Great educational resource about Liberalism, presented by the Black People’s Union, “a revolutionary organisation that aims to empower Indigenous people in so-called Australia to pursue full self-determination and Sovereignty”

The author of this article listed some examples of how gender intertwines with race. Read it white people and read it again periodically.

There was a brief moment in the early days of covid when abled people promised not to abandon the rest of us. Masks need to be understood to be as vital to society as shoes.
I’m seeing a lot of “if your mask works why do I need one” and want to tackle the reason one way masking isn’t enough.

I’m immunocompromised and wear a fitted N99 anytime I leave the house. It’s excellent personal protection.

I still wish more people would mask 🧵

Even if you're not still masking:

Did you, or anyone you were hanging out with for the holidays, go to an airport?

Then for the next two weeks, you should consider yourself infectious and asymptomatic, and mask any time you're around people.

Two weeks - and you'll keep everyone you meet safe.
If you spent the holiday traveling, socializing etc with zero covid mitigations… You probably don’t have food poisoning. Or jet lag. Or allergies.

Covid is surging. RSV is too.

For the sake of everyone else - please stay home. If you can’t - wear a respirator.

Highly recommend the Radicle Narrative hosted by Mylan Tootoosis! There are so many great conversations. Consider signing up for his Patreon instead of contributing to white settler “leftist” platforms/ buying leftist merch.
