A graphic displays the 5th century BCE marble relief art “Ascelpius or Hippocrates treating and ill woman”. In the scene, a man touches the shoulder of a woman lying down as four other people stand by and watch. The text reads, “The Sick Times. “Invisible Illness” could have been transgressive. Instead, it minimizes Long COVID. The book fails to convey the severity of infection-associated chronic conditions, demands for treatment, or importance of infection prevention. By Shielding Cournoyer.”
While certain factors increase risks, infections disable the able-bodied, too. Denying that fact means placing public health failures on the bodies of disabled people. Public health is off the hook if the problem is never one infection, but always, instead, “You’re kind of a hot mess.”
Emily Mendenhall’s new book, Invisible Illness — which promises a history of poorly understood chronic conditions — fails to convey the severity of infection-associated chronic conditions, demands for treatment, or importance of infection prevention. bit.ly/3MO4BGZ

Since I have been campaigning on COVID nearly 200 children have died due to this ongoing policy of restricting covid vaccines, failing to clean the air and sending sick children into school who need rest to avoid long covid.

Posting about ICE on Instagram is now enough to get you an “administrative subpoena.” 👀

Even without an on-campus voting site, NCAT students still marched to the polls. 💙💛 Students at North Carolina A&T showed that barriers won’t stop their voices. When access isn’t easy, they organize. ...

North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support.

We need laws that make social media fraud a felony. Lying on social media for clicks is fraud and it should be charged as fraud.

Curious how the American traitors can still sell it after Alex and Renee, and still after January 6th, sell "voter fraud" and how anyone can believe a fkn word they are saying
Then add in the Epstein Files cover-up
To stay the course you are a mindless cult member

It shows a remarkable amount of restraint on the part of the rest of society that the worst injury an ICE officer has experienced is busting his ass on an icy road

Think what's in the released Epstein files is really bad? Just imagine what's in the 2.5-3 MILLION pages they're claiming they don't have to release.

🚨BREAKING: ICE drew guns and POINTED THEM at a retired Minneapolis couple in a church parking lot.
“They were obviously not trained… I've known many police officers….They had the professional demeanor of criminals." This is unreal.

Pam Bondi protected Epstein from receiving a justified stiff sentence in his first case in Florida. Now she has total control of the files and their release. Why?
What are they hiding with the help of Bondi and Trumps Cabinet?

Trump's Regime Just Bought TikTok...
The MAGA billionaire takeover of the media needs to be addressed ASAP.
TikTok is reportedly being throttled in such a way where any liberal messaging about Epstein, about Trump, or about ICE gets zero views whatsoever.

Think you have to retire the phrase “immigration crackdown” when every major violent spectacle — at least those the news is choosing to highlight — involve US citizens screaming “Check my ID!”

Donald Trump has effectively started a war with Venezuela. The media just asks "can he do that?" while Congress ignores the question.
