FELLOW LEFTISTS, fascism attacks disabled/vulnerable people first. Abandoning them in a pandemic because political interests told you to, was a mistake! Correct course!

There is a pandemic happening in the school districts but it’s not that they’re secretly transitioning your kids. It’s Covid. It’s not gone. It’s not mild. Kids aren’t immune. Long Covid recently surpassed asthma to become the most common childhood illness. Clean air in schools now.

Attorney General Todd Blanche was on Fox News last night railing against "Secret School Gender Transitions," which Blanche described as a "pandemic that's happening in some school districts around the country"

Saw this article on the other platform and wanted to share. "How long does COVID-19 linger in your body?" Published: May 20, 2022 Some patients hold COVID-19 viral remnants for months after symptoms end. One study found the virus in the appendix and breast tissues 175 and 462 days post-infection.

"It seems like such a small thing to be able to do for a community of people who have a lot of needs right now. I really hope that this inspires people elsewhere in the country or elsewhere in the world to do their own versions of "The Spoonbill Club": #LongCOVID www.audubon.org/magazine/new...

France: ‘Very worrying’ surge in sick leave. “We have a very worrying drift in the budgetary impact of sick leave. If we address it too late in the year, no action will be possible, useful, or effective,” Sebastien Lecornu said, stressing the need to control sick leave “whatever happens.”

Serj Tankian chose to wear a mask while signing autographs at his new coffee venue Kavat Coffee earlier this week. Protecting your health and the community around you is still relevant and still matters. Clean air and small precautions aren’t overreactions, they’re care in action. #MaskUp

"Skin as a potential entry point for SARS-COV-2" Study finds inflamed skin may increase SARS-CoV-2 entry. Cytokines raise ACE2/TMPRSS2 levels, boosting viral entry—suggesting skin could be an overlooked infection route. Source: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... PDF: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I really despise how risky hospitals are for respiratory transmission today. Its mitigatable right up to the point you have an issue that makes it not mitigatable. Hospitals should not be a place of unmanaged risk resulting in health danger. #covidIsAirborne

Measles cases in Victoria are running at an even steeper rate than last year. It took several months for last year's local outbreak to end, and we returned to the pattern of sporadic introductions. 🧵

Australian COVID-19 cases update: Reported Cases have started rising again across most of Australia, signalling a fresh wave. So far, the growth rate seems relatively slow, and the levels are still around half those reported from recent waves. #COVID19 #Australia 🧵

If you think US fascism is bad now, wait until a Bird Flu pandemic rips through our country completely unmitigated. 😷❤️

ProPublica@propublica.org

To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines. The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback. Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.” (Published Nov. 2025)

Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility. He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week. The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral. ICE reportedly denied the request. Unimaginable cruelty.

Australian COVID-19 weekly stats update: The risk estimate increased a touch to 0.1% “Currently Infectious”, or 1-in-812. That implies a 4% chance that someone is infectious in a group of 30. #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 #Australia 🧵

The unprecedented second wave of influenza in NSW continues to grow, driven by A/H3N2 subclade K - "Kangaroo variant". Even if the peak is imminent (no sign of that), it looks set to continue well into January. No sign of any effective public health response.

"...significant alterations in brain neurochemicals, brain signal intensity, and tissue structure not only in individuals with Long COVID but also in those who considered themselves fully recovered." I really wish people would stop fucking minimizing #Covid and denying that #LongCovid exists.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate." When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video. He's a tyrant.

In a new phase 3 trial, people randomly assigned to receive a flu shot made with modified mRNA were 34.5% less likely to be diagnosed with an influenza-like illness than people given a standard flu shot made with inactivated virus. We need to stop the anti-science attacks against mRNA vaccines!
