One thing that isn’t talked about enough is how closely tied disability can be to homelessness. Many disabled people are forced into poverty in order to keep their medical benefits. By doing so, the income they receive isn’t enough to live off of. This isn’t a moral failing, it’s the system’s fault.

Over 20 million people died from Covid. 400 million have Long Covid

900 people a WEEK are still dying in the U.S. (that’s likely an undercount)

I will never understand how people’s anger over masks & mitigations led them to normalize mass death

Misinformation kills & it may be about to get worse.

How much $ would ranked choice voting save Chicago in the municipal elections?
