Please share with people with #LongCOVID in your life. It would be incredible to hit 1000 in the next week! (They are already over 700 since this post!)
We are up to 688 LoCITT participants!

If we could enroll all 1,000 participants within a month of launch (by 11/30), it would send a powerful message about the demand for remote Long COVID clinical trials.

We appreciate the community's help to spread the word:

LoCITT-T - Long COVID Treatment Trial
The Long COVID Treatment Trial-Tirzepatide (LoCITT-T) is investigating the efficacy of repurposing this drug to treat Long COVID.

Not an ME/CFS researcher? Perfect. That's exactly who we need.

The ME/CFS Fellowship 2026 seeks fresh perspectives from a wide range of life science researchers including biochemists, cell biologists, geneticists, neuroscientists, physiologists., etc.

Pete Buttigieg would be a good DNC spokesperson.

He would do a GREAT job of going around the country, being on TV all the time, and putting out Dem messaging on EVERY issue.

He would be an excellent counter-Leavitt. And we NEED one. He should be holding regular press conferences and putting

A massive thank you to @tessamunt.bsky.social for tabling this debate on #ME - for listening to patients & advocates and representing the community so well.
Also to @joplatt.bsky.social and every other MP who showed up and talked so compassionately about their constituents.

Yup. Think Seimens, BMW, I.G. Farben, steel and coal company Krupp, BMW, and Daimler-Benz (Mercedes-Benz). In 2025 it's the tech bros and their trillions, choosing fascism over morality and democracy.
Will we have our Nuremberg? Will these thugs and corporate billionaires be held accountable?
Don't be evil?

Those are actually the hallmark features of ME/CFS.

Medicine has completely botched everything dealing with ME/CFS for decades, has refused thousands of opportunities to do better about it.

And yet again it has been botched so completely that the past doesn't even exist, erased from existence.

This is a great idea
Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

Dr Oz: “I think we all agree that Covid has passed”.

No we do not agree!

Anyone who thinks Covid has passed has no business in charge of public health.

It’s still here. It’s still killing and disabling.

Get your booster if you can. Wear a mask (ideally an N95) and clean the air!

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net
