Trust me, disabled people feel this hostility acutely.

yes and, again, attacking me doesn’t work and won’t distract from the question i keep asking you: why do you think white men have any legitimacy to tell black women what to do regarding the dem party and, beyond that specific circumstance, why would that ever be acceptable?

once again, why do you think white men have any legitimacy whatsoever to lecture to black women about the democratic party? and, as a self-proclaimed progressive, why do you think white men have any room to EVER tell any marginalized person what’s in their best interest?

that’s incorrect. you’re doing it in this thread.

again, why do you choose to come after me rather than address the issues i’ve raised?

so your choice is to attack me rather than address the points i’ve raised?

again, why do you think white men have any room whatsoever to attack black women about the direction of the democratic party? and, when this is pointed out, why do you choose attacks rather than to look at your actions here?

thank you!

that looks delicious, enjoy! (and i agree, you can never have too much cumin)

Remember when Alex Thompson did an entire story on Biden officials mulling over whether or not Joe would need a wheelchair? Well, I'm sure Thompson will leap on this story of Trump military advisers excluding Trump from the command room when they were trying to rescue a US pilot, right?

Right?

We have to stay focused on what is in front of us.

We must win the midterms. But we must also have a vision for when we are in power to address childcare, housing, and health care and make life more affordable.

do you happen to have a non-paywall-ed link? thank you!

Thanks to Alex for this piece which took a lot of time and researching. @davetuller1.bsky.social & I amongst others were interviewed for it.

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

while teamsters and UAW get a lot of attention i feel like people miss out that the average working class person in the US today is (1) a woman and (2) working a service job

22 April 1943 | A transport of 2,800 Jewish men, women and children arrived at #Auschwitz from the ghetto in Thessaloniki.

After the arrival selection 225 men and 413 women were registered in the camp. The remaining 2,132 people were murdered in gas chambers.

Women’s health grants are at an all time low. This is not by accident. It is a concerted effort by this administration to slash the number of grants from the National Institutes of Health, with far fewer focused on women, cancer and mental health. Take a listen to the startling statistics.👇🏼

📣 New WWSCAN publication: Measles RNA detection in wastewater solids: longitudinal monitoring at a national scale

if i’m 11 days late, how fucking tardy are you and your fellow white dudes who haven’t supported democrats in nearly 60 years, and why on gods green earth do you think you have a right to dictate to black women, the democratic party base throughout those 60 yrs, while white men ushered in fascism?

it’s posturing to point out the ridiculousness, bigotry and hypocrisy of a white dude lecturing to black women about an institution white men haven’t supported since democrats passed the civil rights act?

right? it’s never led me astray

fun fact: my parents loathed reagan because my dad led student protests against his tuition increases in CA in the 1970s. my parents did everything they could to stop this decline into fascism, and raised me on the religion to never trust anyone who likes reagan, a maxim that’s never failed me

love when a white dude tells black women what’s best for them in general and the democratic party (which white men have voted for since the 1960s) specifically

Critics of new bill say Ohio women would be banned from sports bras, bikinis in public 'The peak of fear mongering.'

Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.

HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.

Mask vending machine at JFK

So great to see JFK airport still has mask vending machines, which have 3M Auras!

This is true. No one wants to admit COVID still exists or ever existed. Quite incredible. Where are the huge conferences dedicated to COVID, like there still is for HIV?

i developed long covid on 2/01/20, before covid was acknowledged to be in the US. it’s become ME/CFS. i have been quarantined since 3/15/20. my life as i knew it before (therapist business owner who ran marathons) ended. now i am alone, poverty-stricken and perpetually sick in my apartment

400 million people have long covid, a disabling and deadly disease for which there’s no effective treatment, let alone cure. long covid is the most frequent chronic illness among american children. millions of immunocompromised people are still quarantined. nothing ended. we were just discarded.

Study links long COVID in kids to worse grades and attention problems A large NIH-funded RECOVER-Pediatrics study found that children and adolescents meeting the long COVID research threshold were more likely to have caregiver-reported worsening grades, attention difficulties, reduced enjoyment with friends, and greater IEP involvement than peers below the threshold. The findings suggest that pediatric long COVID may affect school and social functioning during key developmental years, although the cross-sectional design does not establish causation.
