Covid Aware Anti-Capitalist who is tired of seeing people blamed for their own marginalization rather than the systemic forces that create this reality. “Nobody’s Free Until Everybody’s Free” -Fannie Lou Hamer
A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations.
May this set a precedent.
Remote work should be accessible to all who need it.
It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.
Why does the us empire refuse to improve the material conditions of its own citizens?
Short answer: because the US empire isn’t designed to improve the material conditions of its own people. It’s designed to extract value—for capital—at home and abroad. Everything else is PR.
You think ICE is just about “immigration enforcement”? Think again. What’s happening isn’t immigration policy—it’s an imported model of control, perfected in the occupied territories and now being tested in your own backyard. #IsraelificationOfAmerica #ICEExposed

Sometimes a mask needs adjustments - tying the ear/head loops a little tighter, adding foam to the nose bridge - to achieve an effective fit. The better it fits your face, the better the protection factor. #12daysofmasks @togetherwemask.bsky.social @sadsackolympian.bsky.social
Day 3 of #12DaysOfMasks: On the Friendship Bench by Gille and Marc thinking about my brother-in-law, dad, uncle, friends lost in this pandemic, and new ones I made on the quest. #MaskTogetherAmerica is a strong community. Grateful for the love and support from all of you. 💛😷
On the 2nd Day of Masking my true love gave to me…2 latex gloves! One of the mitigations from the early pandemic days has stuck around and that’s using masks at times when washing our hands is not an option. A different mitigation for the #12DaysOfMasks challenge from @togetherwemask.bsky.social
On the 1st Day of Masking my True Love gave to me…a Mask Box under the tree.
Join @togetherwemask.bsky.social & me for #12DaysOfMasks to show people that you are #OneOfTheTwo that still takes Covid mitigations seriously!
Joining @togetherwemask.bsky.social @sadsackolympian.bsky.social in #12daysofmasks 😷 with a nasty strain of flu circulating, and rsv & covid in my area, my Zimi respirator helps to avoid getting sick, and my festive mask chain helps it feel a little less... clinical? Stay safe, stay well, join us!
Another day, another masked fit to share. A proper seal and fit to my face means my glasses don't fog up! #12daysofmasks @togetherwemask.bsky.social @sadsackolympian.bsky.social
Wearing a mask outside?! I know it seems strange, but it's possible to spread COVID outdoors in close contact & in crowds - at the Walk to End Alzheimer's where this photo was taken, over 2,000 people participated! Did you know that research shows a link between COVID and Alzheimer's? #12daysofmasks
Join #12DaysOfMasks Challenge initiated by Kasia Kowalczyk @sadsackolympian.bsky.social for #MaskTogetherAmerica amidst the devastating surges in respiratory infections (Flu,COVID,RSV) this season! Post selfies wearing N95, KN95 or KF94 masks for 12 days. Please tag us and add the hashtags to join!
Who is that sleepy monster masking up for the #12DaysOfMasks photo challenge from @togetherwemask.bsky.social ? It’s your favorite #SadSack on #Day1
#12DaysOfMasks for @togetherwemask.bsky.social A photo taken before the snow fell. I take my brain health seriously, so wearing a mask to prevent repeat Covid infections is as important as my silly helmet.
Whether I'm in tight spaces with poor ventilation, or large spaces crammed with people - my respirator mask helps keep me from breathing in the "yuck" around me. #12daysofmasks @togetherwemask.bsky.social @sadsackolympian.bsky.social
Sometimes we get told "you have to live your life!" in response to wearing a mask. Reducing risk of serious illness doesn't always mean missing out - my mask helps keep me protected during special events w/ friends & family. And accessories can be fun! #12daysofmasks

At the north end of White Horse Beach in Plymouth MA, there is a rock sticking out of the water with an American flag painted on it.
The flag was painted to cover vandalism in the form of a Nazi swastika in the summer of 1941, and it is repainted every year.
Today, I saw a chonky seal there. 🦭
Kasia @sadsackolympian.bsky.social invites you to take part in #12DaysOfMasks challenge starting Jan 5. “Not all people are able to wear a respirator (like newborns), so it’s incredibly important that the rest of us keep public spaces safe for them. Tag #MaskTogetherAmerica or me & add the hashtag.”
A story like this instantly weeds out who is full of sh*t & who isn’t.
This is highly credible scientific data pointing towards the livable world ending by 2050.
Anyone not engaging with this is economically captured, high on their own supply or a well paid idiot.
I know
most people do not care
about viral threats
to humans or animals,
but in Greece a virus has killed
nearly 500,000
sheep and goats
imperiling the supply
of feta cheese,
so even if people do not care
about humans or animals
perhaps they’ll care
about viral threats to cheese.

"The UK says it won't even bother when the next pandemic hits. The lesson most countries have drawn from covid is that letting the old and weak die is better for capitalism. The pandemic was a waymarker on our journey to a harsher, crueller world"
And over here, children, we see the three-year running mean global surface temperature anomaly reaching a new record high.
And over there, look children, it's a category 5 hurricane devastating Jamaica.

French pharmacies run out of Covid tests as cases soar.
Up to 150,000 COVID ‘auto-tests’ were sold last week amid a surge linked to the new XFG variant.
Self-tests give results in 15 mins but are only ~70% accurate, meaning 3 in 10 positive cases could be missed.

So Weiss will remain editor in chief and CEO of The Free Press and editor in chief of CBS News, so they’re not hiding the conflict here? The head of CBS News, supposedly impartial and nonpartisan, will also simultaneously be running a highly partisan site.
Canada: Premature baby dies from measles in Alberta as cases throughout province near 2,000.
"Since March, 1,914 cases of measles has been reported in Alberta, with the majority of the cases occurring in the southern (998) and northern (704) Alberta Health Services zones."
Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.
Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.
If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

"The failure of carbon offsets to cut planet-heating pollution is 'not due to a few bad apples', ... but down to deep-seated systemic problems that incremental change will not solve."
