The sad thing is, the vision was really good and could have been a real business! Quick, cheap, low-draw blood tests for even the 4-5 screens with proven science would probably have been viable.

Strange Structures Found Lurking in The Blood of People With Long COVID A hidden physical change in the body may be helping to drive the prolonged malaise some people experience after contracting COVID-19.

Microclots and neutrophil extracellular traps merge to form structures that may contribute to thrombosis and atherosclerosis in patients with long Covid. While this research is in its early days, it may pinpoint not only a diagnosis of long Covid but potentially a therapeutic target.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two citizens murdered.

They're trying to make observing/filming ICE illegal.

Then we must show up in greater numbers.

BE UNGOVERNABLE.

Epstein Files Explorer A comprehensive tool for exploring publicly released Epstein case documents and records.

Someone took their time to recreate Epstein documents in a data visualization app built in Replit. The complete documents are in an interactive graphic where you can click on and explore all the connections and β€œconspiracy networks.

Exclusive: Key US infectious-diseases centre to drop pandemic preparation Staff members have been instructed to scrub this topic and β€˜biodefense’ from the agency’s website.

β€œMaybe a better way to look at this is β€˜people preparedness’. One way for people to be prepared (for the next pandemic) is to be healthier, eat better and exercise, so you’re less likely to get sick or have a poor outcome,” Powers added.

Right. This will protect you from a novel pathogen.πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Power, Money, Deception, and Brexit: A Short History of the Oligarchy vs The People It should never be surprising when governments allow billionaires to have their way, given that government itself was invented by the wealthy in the first place.

Epstein saw Brexit as incredible opportunity: "Descent into β€œtribalism”, as he called it, would open the door to millions of back door deals among the wealthy who would be the only remaining bidders in the fire sale of the UK’s collapsing assets"

Facts:

The federal government has no authority over elections.

States certify their own elections.

Mail in voting is still legal.

Any chance to Election Clause of the Constitution requires 2/3 of both House and Senate and 3/4 of States to amend the Constitution....that ain't happening.

Right now, we have a tax code that forces firefighters and teachers to pay a higher share of their income than many billionaires and major corporations.

We need to change that - because our economy requires it, and because it is simply the right thing to do.

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Bostonians Wanted More Bike Lanes: Now They Have Them, and Traffic Is Down Mayor Michelle Wu's ran on more protected bike lanes around the city to satisfy a perceived demand for better cycling infrastructure.

www.goodnewsnetwork.org/bostonians-w... Besides the less traffic, which is awesome, it also means there's less garbage being pumped into the air. This is a tangible, real effect of creating more bike lanes in cities. This is a very #goodthing! #positivity #positivevibes

There are reports that ICE was at South Station in Boston, taking photos of everyone coming off the trains.

Photos. Of everyone.

When we get rid of this administration, we must also insist on destroying whatever sinister database these fucks are feeding.
