When Will the Lion Concern Himself Joking memes make light of the uncomfortable reality: everyone's got a little of that post-COVID brain damage these days

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras.

Rightly confident in his impunity.

We have to have a doctor place an order to be able to receive it, regardless of age or comorbidities. Not sure if that’s state wide or just the health system I work for. Same bullshit

Love when my cat is laying on me and tries to bite me when I pet him. Get off me then!!!

Absolutely wild. Israel targeted and massacred 31 journalists and media staff in Yemen. The second-deadliest attack on journalists ever recorded. The Israeli regime is built on war crimes.

For anyone talking about political violence being bad is either too weak for the moment or doesn't recognize where we are at present moment

We are living through a bloodless revolution that is an end to our constitutional democracy

The only way you topple a dictatorship is political violence

I want to live in a world where violence doesn't happen, even to people I dislike. But I don't get to live in that world, because powerful people want the violence to continue. So when it happens to them, I'm not gonna feel bad that they've experienced negative consequences in the world *they* made.

Happy Double Infinity release day @bigthiefmusic.bsky.social! 💚🍋‍🟩

With improvement, he was able to report that he had recently noticed new-onset facial acne and cherry angiomas, fatigue, insomnia, subtle ataxia, and polydipsia, further suggesting bromism. He also shared that, after reading about the negative effects that sodium chloride, or table salt, has on one's health, he was surprised that he could only find literature related to reducing sodium from one's diet. Inspired by his history of studying nutrition in college, he decided to conduct a personal experiment to eliminate chloride from his diet. For 3 months, he had replaced sodium chloride with sodium bromide obtained from the internet after consultation with ChatGPT, in which he had read that chloride can be swapped with bromide, though likely for other purposes, such as cleaning. Gradually, over the course of a 3-week admission, his chloride and anion gap normalized and psychotic symptoms improved. He was tapered off risperidone before discharge and remained stable off medication at a check-in 2 weeks after discharge. His bromide level ultimately was 1700 mg/L (21 mmol/L; reference range, 0.9 to 7.3 mg/L).

Wild case of ChatGPT almost killing a guy by telling him to substitute sodium bromine for table salt (sodium chloride) #medsky www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Israeli Military Attacks Handala in International Waters, Abducts 21 Unarmed Civilians The Freedom Flotilla Coalition confirms that its civilian vessel Handala, en route to break Israel's illegal, genocidal blockade on Palestinians in Gaza, has been violently intercepted by the Israeli military in international waters about forty nautical miles from Gaza. At 11:43 Palestine time the Occupation cut the cameras on board Handala and we have lost all communication with our ship. The unarmed boat was carrying life-saving supplies when it was boarded by Israeli forces, its passengers abducted, and its cargo seized. The interception occurred in international waters outside Palestinian territorial waters off Gaza, in violation of international maritime law. Handala carried a shipment of critical humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza, including baby formula, diapers, food, and medicine. All cargo was non-military, civilian, and intended for direct distribution to a population facing deliberate starvation and medical collapse under Israel's illegal blockade.

Human Rights Defenders Aboard Handala, by country: United States: Christian Smalls - Amazon Labor Union founder; Huwaida Arraf - Human rights attorney (Palestine/US); Jacob Berger - Jewish-American activist; Bob Suberi - Jewish U.S. war veteran; Braedon Peluso - Sailor and direct action activist; Dr. Frank Romano - International lawyer and actor (France/US). France: Emma Fourreau - MEP and activist (France/Sweden); Gabrielle Cathala - Parliamentarian and former humanitarian worker; Justine Kempf - Nurse, Médecins du Monde; Ange Sahuquet - Engineer and human rights activist. Italy: Antonio Mazzeo - Teacher, peace researcher, journalist; Antonio "Tony" La Picirella - Climate and social justice organizer. Spain: Santiago González Vallejo - Economist and activist; Sergio Toribio - Engineer and environmentalist.

Australia: Robert Martin - Human rights activist; Tania "Tan" Safi - Journalist and organizer of Lebanese descent. Norway: Vigdis Bjorvand - 70-year-old lifelong justice activist. United Kingdom / France: Chloé Fiona Ludden - Former UN staff and scientist. Tunisia: Hatem Aouini - Trade unionist and internationalist activist. Journalists Aboard Handala Morocco: Mohamed El Bakkali - Senior journalist with Al Jazeera (based in Paris). Iraq / United States: Waad Al Musa - Cameraman and field reporter with Al Jazeera. The attack on Handala is the third violent act by Israeli forces against Freedom Flotilla missions this year alone. It follows the drone bombing of the civilian aid ship Conscience in European waters in May, which injured four people and disabled the vessel, and the illegal seizure of the Madleen in June, where Israeli forces abducted twelve civilians, including a Member

of the European Parliament. Shortly before their abduction, the Handala's crew affirmed that they would be hunger-striking if detained by Israeli forces and not accepting any food from the Israeli Occupation Forces. Israeli officials have ignored the International Court of Justice's binding orders that require the facilitation of humanitarian access to Gaza. The continued attacks on peaceful civilian missions represent a grave violation of international law. "Israel has no legal authority to detain international civilians aboard the Handala", said Ann Wright a member of the Freedom Flotilla's steering committee. "This is not a matter of internal Israeli jurisdiction. These are foreign nationals operating under international law in international waters. Their detention is arbitrary, unlawful, and must end."

BREAKING: Israeli military attacks humanitarian aid vessel Handala in international waters 30 miles from Gaza — in violation of maritime law — and has abducted 21 people on board, including U.S. citizens.

The ship was carrying life-saving aid, which Israel has seized.

A militant mobilization by dockworkers at Greece’s Port of Piraeus prevented the trans-shipment of military grade steel destined for Israel & expected to be used in the genocidal war on Gaza.

The dockworkers refuse to be “accomplices to the genocide of the Palestinian people.”

Immigrants with no criminal convictions represent sharpest growth in ICE detention population The number of people in ICE detention without criminal convictions nearly doubled in the last month — a significant increase compared to detainees who have been convicted of crimes.

Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that.

It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.
