We’re not talking enough about how the disabled are being hurt by this administration.

Thanks to this administration giving Ohio the right to cut Medicaid, I lost my insurance. Then I had to leave the state just to survive, let alone function.

WV resident here. We also pay some of the highest rates in the land because we subsidize coal power plants despite natural gas being more efficient and inexpensive and us sitting on some of the largest natural gas deposits in the world and oh our prices are high because of data centers on grid

This would be horrific no matter what it was referring to. But "cleaning up the risk pool" by eliminating vaccines just means you kill a bunch of people WHILE ALSO creating a whole new "risk pool" of people with post-viral issues.

AKA passive eugenics: you remove all resources from vulnerable people and then let them die.
HHS under RFKjr should be renamed Unhealthy and inhumane services.
RFKjr is very much into eugenics and fascist ideas, if we look at the string of declarations he made regarding vulnerable people.

A big chunk of people jumped into full-fledged reactionary politics because this was their preferred approach to COVID, and they were denied the opportunity to inflict it upon people poorer than them.

Latino farmworkers face high rates of long COVID but barriers delay diagnosis SEATTLE – The first time Dr. Anita Chopra had a long COVID patient, she cried.

Without starting a fight, may I just say that if you deeply and profoundly understand the need for human contact as a result of Covid, you might consider doing something to help the people still at high risk from Covid access it, instead of acting in ways that excludes and isolates them.

mRNA technology may be THE most underrated and unfairly scrutinized (fuck you COVID antivax crew) medical breakthrough in my lifetime.

Like... The things this is already showing it can do in the last 5-7 years is incredible.

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

I'm working on a story for @thesicktimes.org about RECOVER clinical trial results that have been shared so far (from the VITAL, NEURO, and AUTONOMIC studies), and am looking for people in the #LongCOVID and IACC communities to share what they think of the findings. DM or email me!

It may seem paradoxical but a key to accomplishing (1) will be to deflate the psychological importance that Americans attach to their voting decision. Casting a particular ballot in a particular election needs to become understood as a small practical matter, not a titanic moment of self-expression.

The Shocking Secrets of Madison Square Garden’s Surveillance Machine Famously vengeful Knicks owner Jim Dolan has long spied on people at his iconic arenas. WIRED goes deep inside the operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more.

“Behind the scenes, the atmosphere is so rooted in paranoia that former Knicks players warn one another about rooms being bugged, and staffers worry about being watched when they go out to local bars.”

Why Democrats Should Worry About Graham Platner (And Janet Mills) In the fight between Platner and Mills, Democrats seem to face a choice between the reckless and the listless.

Good column from @billscher.bsky.social that highlights how Platner's team seems to try and ignore media requests, including mentions how they didn't respond to my request for comment about his use of the r-word. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/04/17/w...

Someone who needs to improve so much they still use slurs probably shouldn’t be a US senator.

people are now mad that sometimes people write more than one memoir ? lol a memoir isn't an entire biography, it often doesn't hold a persons entire life, and people can for sure have more than one in them.

So the big studios are abandoning the US and turning the staff workers into contractors to get out paying for healthcare.

The United States is losing one of its defining industries because of not having universal healthcare and the people are going to be even more vulnerable to the industry.
