Ancient crone. She/her. Having a hard time making it through another ROC gray winter and the long winter of the soul we all seem to have entered. Love Lake Ontario but still miss California.

“So how long are you going to wear a mask?”

“I don’t know, how long are you and everyone else going to ignore how constant Covid infections are damaging our bodies and killing us slowly before you demand govt invest in clean air everywhere, paid sick days to curb spread, and a universal vaccine?”

Long COVID may be triggering Alzheimer’s-like changes in the brain: new study Over 20 million Americans are believed to have long COVID, suffering symptoms such as severe fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations, dizziness and muscle pain.

A well fitted N95 mask offers excellent protection against Covid.

When people lose their sense of smell or taste … it’s because the virus is damaging the brain.

We’ve seen a drop in IQ with each covid infection.

An increase in vascular disease.

Long COVID may trigger Alzheimer’s.

Mask up!

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Do not bargain over whether or not DHS/ICE has to follow the constitution. Constitutional restraints apply right now--not optional. Abolish ICE. We did without it for most of our history, and it is not a legit law enforcement agency.

The 3.5 million people in those 4 states are represented by 8 US senators, 4 time as many senators as represent the 20 million in my state.

Can you tell I'm angry.

I am so angry.

Epstein victims have been speaking to law enforcement for 30 years, and the only person in prison for the rape, torture, and victimization of children for 30 years is a woman.

DOJ failed for 30 years.

I was against the Dems endorsing him, but I didn't know he was this bad. Depressing that we have a sheriff in Monroe County who feels comfortable posting this white Christian nationalist authoritarian bullshit in public.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

“Common sense” is such a Maga pandering term. Like the “common-sense” programming Trump’s appointee to run the Kennedy center was going to offer.

(around an image of a masked ICE agent holding a gun) Republicans "One Big Beautiful Bill' nearly tripled funding for ICE. That money came from your benefits:

paid for by cuts to reproductive health care

paid for by cuts to Medicare & Medicaid

paid for by cuts to SNAP

paid for by cuts to clean energy projects

paid for by cuts to obesity prevention

paid for by cuts to disaster response

paid for by cuts to energy tax credits

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

Crazy to think how much of this would stop if the Supreme Court would say the obvious: officers can’t recklessly create the danger that preceded excessive force.
They move in days when the issue is trans kids or the President firing people. But they pass on this, which is literally killing people.
