We shouldn’t have to debate who β€œdeserves” food, healthcare and housing.

We should be angry that these things aren’t guaranteed to everyone.

We should be outraged that the wealthy & corporations continue to profit off the misery and suffering of others.

China's trade surplus hits $1 trillion for first time ever China's exports to the U.S. have dropped sharply this year, in the face of President Trump's tariffs β€” but the country is still finding plenty of customers elsewhere around the world.

A stylised red virus icon resembling the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) shape is centered on a dark background. White bold capital letters overlay the virus, reading:

β€œWHAT DOESN’T KILL YOU MUTATES AND TRIES AGAIN”

The design uses humor and a warning at the same time β€” playing on the idea that viruses evolve and continue to pose risk even after initial infection.

Almost everyone I know is sick right now.

They’ve got a β€œbad flu” or a β€œnasty stomach bug”.

Almost no one will utter the word Covid.

It’s not too late to start wearing a mask.

It’s a great way to practice community care while keeping yourself healthy.

Ideally an N95 or better!

CDC Panel’s Hepatitis B Vaccine Vote Undid Decades of Progress In a stunning decision that defies all expert advice and scientific evidence, the influential group that shapes US vaccine policy will no longer recommend that all infants receive the hepatitis B vaccination shortly after birth.

Venezuela calls Trump's call to close airspace a 'colonialist threat' President Trump said that the airspace "above and surrounding Venezuela" was "closed in its entirety". In response, the Venezuelan government said his comments violate international law, and are a "colonialist threat" to its sovereignty.

It was so much a part of normal vocabulary as a kid, I have had to work hard to remove it from mine. It can be done. Lots of people just don't want to.

Kids as young as 3 and 4 years old are being hauled into immigration court in Seattle and read their rights.

They’re being told they have the right to an attorney despite having no capacity to hire one or understand what that means.

As Rep Jayapal says, that’s not due process… it’s a farce.

Screenshot of a Springer Nature Link article titled β€œPersistent lung and vascular inflammation in mild to moderate COVID-19 survivors detected by ¹⁸F–FDG PET/CT: A quantitative imaging study with implications for cardiovascular risk.” Under the title it says: β€œOriginal Article | Open access | Published: 25 November 2025.” Below is an infographic flowchart showing recovered mild–moderate COVID-19 patients undergoing ¹⁸F–FDG PET/CT imaging, with PET/CT lung and vascular images highlighting increased inflammation versus controls, box plots of quantitative measures, and a figure holding their chest to indicate possible increased cardiovascular risk.

People who recovered from mild–moderate COVID-19 still show persistent lung and vascular inflammation. This ongoing inflammatory response suggests COVID can have systemic, long-term effects that may raise cardiovascular (CV) risk even after symptoms improve.

ICE detained Katie, a British woman in the final stages of her green card process, while she was holding her 6 month old son.

She’s married to an American and was following the process, yet at her last immigration meeting they grabbed her.

She’s been detained ever since:

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.

Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.

ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.
