To be *completely objective*, for what Trump needs in a press secretary, Karoline Leavitt nails it. She lies so effortlessly. Flips those questions around..what instincts! She’s poised, unrattled, attractive. All while dealing with creepy pedo boss who she probably has to rebuff daily.

As starvation worsens by the day in Gaza, the Netanyahu government has been using food as a weapon of war — with complicity from Trump and U.S. taxpayer dollars.

This is painful to listen to but here’s what a U.S. Army veteran and Green Beret who witnessed it first-hand recounted to me:

Silent Invasion: COVID-19’s Hidden Damage to Human Organs.

Posted: 01 July 2025

"COVID-19 cannot be simply regarded as a respiratory disease; it should also be considered a more systemic disease that leaves long-term effects"

Source: www.preprints.org/manuscript/2...
9. Conclusion This review investigates the multi-organ consequences of COVID-19, demonstrates how much more than the respiratory system is impacted by SARS-CoV-2. Based on clinical, pathological and biomarker analyses in the first half of 2025, we reported long-term damage in ten physiological systems: cardiovascular, neurological, renal, hepatic, immune and psychological systems. This review is unique in the way the outcomes of various disciplines are combined and attention is reflected on similar processes which are endothelial dysfunction, chronic inflammation and microvascular damage. These overlapping circles provide an understanding of how the same viral infection may lead to several chronic diseases, such as heart inflammation, brain fog, kidney damage and immune malfunction, even in those with initially mild symptoms. In summary, this article provides a coherent framework through which clinicians and researchers can comprehend, diagnose and treat post-acute COVID-19 complications. It also indicates promising agents, including antifibrotics and immunomodulators which may have the potential to minimize or reverse organ injury. In conclusion, COVID-19 cannot be simply regarded as a respiratory disease; it should also be considered a more systemic disease that leaves long-term effects. To consider effective clinical care approaches to public health and research priorities after the pandemic, a more comprehensive understanding of its silent multi-organ effects is required

They wont mask up n95 or ffp2
They WONT acknowledge airborne SARS2
They wont acknowledge the dangers of airborne pathogens
We are HARMING others by spreading sars2 and I am still angry

Long COVID is now the number one chronic illness afflicting children, surpassing asthma.
Yet we're refusing to use tools that could prevent recurrent infections in kids, like clean air or Far UVC, preferring to repeat propaganda about COVID's harmlessness

This clear warning by Violet Affleck about ignoring mounting threats with our climate and public health is something everyone should read.

Using living with ME and PEM as an analogy for how we ignore our societal symptoms & then pay the price is inspired

My friend Violet has written a wonderful piece for The Yale Global Health Review: "A Chronically Ill Earth: COVID Organizing as a Model Climate Response in Los Angeles"

A Chronically Ill Earth: COVID Organizing as a Model Climate Response in Los Angeles May 18, 2025 BY VIOLET AFFLECK I spent the January fires in Los Angeles arguing with my mother in a hotel room. She was shell-shocked, astonished at the scale of destruction in the neighborhood where she raised myself and my siblings. I was surprised at her surprise: as a lifelong Angelena and climate-literate member of generation Z, my question had not been whether the Palisades would burn but when. As I chatted with adults in the hotel where we’d gone to escape the smoke, though, I found my position to be an uncommon one: people spoke of how long rebuilding would take, how much it would cost, and how tragically odd the whole situation had been. The crisis was acute, a burst of bad luck. It had come from a combination of high winds and low rains – what, my little brother asked, did global warming have to do with the speed of the wind? Outside, people wandered, faces covered by N95s. “This feels like COVID,” said one wild-eyed woman clutching two leashed Yorkies. “We’re all in masks.” Because pwME know that a crash is unpredictable and impossible to reverse, the goal of pacing is to not encounter the symptoms at all. Success is measured not by a fast and furious response at the moment of crisis but by the absence of a need for intervention. But US society, like a new pwME still unfamiliar with the costs of PEM, is staring down a cycle of "crashes" from which we won't be able to easily return. We haven't treated bird flu as a serious health problem, and probably won't until it explodes into the population with the onset of airborne human-to-human transmission, at which point - if the COVID response is our example - we'll have lost hope of controlling it before the virus's significantly higher mortality rate strikes a meaningful blow. Long COVID isn't a problem until we can find no other explanation for why millions of people are unable to work, school performance and children's health decline in unison, and no one can remember what it feels like not to be sick all of the time. People left "by the wayside" are forced to develop enduring alternative networks of support, advocacy, and connection; when organizers experience energy-limiting chronic illnesses and disabilities in addition to other demands on their time, that lifesaving community work must be paced alongside other activities of daily living, meaning preparation in advance is not a choice but a necessity. It was that preparation that had MaskBlocLA, a collective of disabled and COVID-responsive organizers in Los Angeles, prepared to deliver thousands of masks in the first days of the fire, while the city scrambled to address catastrophic air quality. MBLA's leap into action was a picture-pertect illustration of the reality that no crisis is contained: while the city government's indifference to the ongoing pandemic - our mayor floated a mask ban this summer - hindered its response to another airborne emergency, COVID organizers' daily refusal to abandon each other to the pandemic allowed MBLA to rapidly expand their work once the general population was back in crisis mode.

We must normalize masks as a public health tool before it’s too late.

If you care about social justice, disability rights, fighting fascism or your health… you should be wearing a mask. Ideally an N95 or better.

The more of us wearing them, the harder they will be to ban.

This is how you do it! Masked representation matters, especially in Covid and Long Covid related specialties and fields.

Thank you for protecting each other, your patients and your communities.

It’s never too late to mask back up!

Imagine if instead of banning employees from masking, huge corporations like Starbucks would offer paid time off, clean the air and encourage customers to mask up. They could even provide free respirators at the door.

Their employees would be healthier, happier and more productive.
