The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Both fantasy series I’m simultaneously reading & listening to are engaged in queries re power. Both very good, complex worlds, characters, storytelling.
But wondering if there’s any good fantasy with characters that are Not the shapers but small folk, those tossed & turned by the greater forces?

🧵 Important new study out in Cell Reports Medicine (Shahbaz et al. 2025):
👉 Long Covid with ME/CFS isn’t the same in women and men - biologically.
👉 And it’s not “fatigue.” It’s immune, hormonal, and neurological chaos.
Let’s break it down layperson style 👇

Newly published study offers hope to both males and females with #LongCovid - but in different ways 👇
It also explains why I don't have 'brain fog', but why my life is now like running a marathon on a flat battery.

the funny (not funny) thing is this is a fundamental bit of knowledge that black and brown folks in the US carry with them—often because we’re the ones against whom this is often ‘weaponized’
One thing the NYC mayoral race underscored for me is how easily the phrase "I don't feel safe" can be weaponized. It's an argument I would hesitate ever to use again, even for a good cause. I hope we can all agree that we have the right to BE safe. Maybe we should leave it at that.

In the meantime anyone who applies for a new, corrected, or replacement passport, or for a passport renewal, is at risk of having their passport issued bearing the sex they were assigned at birth.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

A new analysis shows that no evidence exists for using graded exercise therapy for #MECFS - an issue that has come to the forefront again with #LongCovid research, reports @medscape.com.

No Evidence Supports Using Graded Exercise for ME/CFS
Studies examining the effects of activity-based interventions haven’t required post-exertional malaise as a core criterion for the now-termed ‘myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.’

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.
