Covid is a social justice issue.
Respirators cost money.
HEPA filters cost money.
Tests cost money.
Vaccines cost money.
Paid time off is rare.
Affordable child care is non existent
Covid disproportionately impacts those who are already the most marginalized
Mask up & protect your community
From the scanner right now: LAPD is taking rubber bullets from LASD. I am not joking. (They're in each other's crossfire, it's a clusterfuck that they've largely brought on themselves)

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.
The fact that the government is using charges of antisemitism to justify sending people to concentration camps is the most enraging manipulation of discourse that the current fascists have engaged in thus far.
They’ll live out their Nazi fantasies all while claiming they are doing it for the Jews.
French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine. (...) We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor" #3E #EndOligarchy
Well said!
I'd like to announce that I'm pivoting to media criticism. Here is my critique of the media. It sucks ass. Having registered this critique I'm now pivoting back to songs about the true nature of prophecy & books where there was maybe a ghost but you're not entirely sure
Truth social post from Trump which reads All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Defunding schools who allow protests is some next level fascist garbage.
But please don’t miss the “No masks!” Line.
JD Vance instituted a federal ban on mask mandates. Many States and counties have banned masks with problematic & insufficient medical exemptions
If you want to resist? Mask up!
In practical terms, we've already legalized the transfer of the power of the purse to the presidency, we're just waiting to see how the legal niceties get sorted out.
Some federal workers are going back to work.
The USDA has been ordered to temporarily give over 5,000 workers their jobs back.
Dozens of CDC scientists have been reinstated after being illegally fired.
The National Science Foundation has rehired half of the workers it fired.
One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!
Today, we at Google have a new product: what if you could could ask an app a question? Oh, we do that already? Well, what if we were a little bit worse at it? What if we also sometimes gave you egregiously wrong information? And what if it cost a billion dollars? Still not interested? It's mandatory
The CFPB was dismantled over the weekend, with all activities suspended, its funding reduced to zero, and its headquarters temporarily closed—removing a crucial layer of oversight for consumer-facing financial companies. Staff members ordered to cease all ‘supervision and examination activities.
Healthcare workers who refuse to mask for patients are putting their own politics & perceived comfort above the literal life of another person.
You know if they believed the patient was a risk to them, they would have an N95 on in a hurry.
Wear the mask. Its the right thing to do
Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.
“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

Try to be generous in your estimation of other people, and how we're coping, right now, and try to be kind. Some of us are barely holding it together enough to survive, as it is. If you have the energy and will to fight hard, use that to protect and support, not chastise, whoever doesn't. That's all
I'm sorry that this is the world we have. I love you.

Just making sure that everyone is aware of this crab that NOAA scientists found
Feeling this in my SOUL
Healthcare workers…If your patient is wearing a mask you should too.
When you ask “do you want me to wear a mask?” You’re putting an undue burden on your patient
You’re refusing to acknowledge the imbalance of power that makes us feel uncomfortable saying “yes”
Just wear a mask. At all times.
Oh no rip, that's hell
No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.
If you’re still masking - thank you.
If you’re still trying to convince others to mask - thank you.
If you understand the benefit of a well fitted respirator - you’re awesome.
Masking isn’t just a way to safeguard one’s health. It’s an act of solidarity with disabled & marginalized communities.
Did this essay mention that JB aimed for herd immunity via mass infection?
No. It did not.
Essays that defend JB are never transparent.
It’s all revisionist history and denial.

They hate everyone that isn't rich cishet white men, so I guess they'll just be more blatant now.
We're so cooked. I'm so tired of being here.
