🔥 “Governments, in the interest of maintaining the status quo, seem to be misleading people and hoping for the best.”

“Did you know that we’re still in a pandemic?”

"Masking in the car alone lol" was weaponized as a wedge early in the pandemic when the majority was still taking precautions, and it's stayed in the rotation ever since.

Minimizing COVID-19 is maximizing social harm Governments, in the interest of maintaining the status quo, seem to be misleading people and hoping for the best.

It is normal to experience flu-like symptoms throughout the year because a new virus that causes these symptoms and weakens the immune system is circulating year-round.

Broadview PD instructed us to go into the “free speech zone” early. Last week, they told us to go into the street and then we got beat with batons.

We’ll see what happens!

The conditions at the Broadview ICE facility are getting worse. This is why we keep coming back.

Polly, a white woman in 40s with blue and brown hair, leaning on hand and rolling eyes in medical room with ffp3 mask on, and her jumper hunched up a bit round her neck suggesting she still has her arm out for jabs.

Today, I became one of those people in all the news articles who turned up for their covid and flu jabs, as booked, as told to book, as told my eligibility was my the infernal NHS app, and was denied a covid jab.

This is my face while I was waiting for staff to confer and confirm.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Appeals court denies Trump administration appeal of National Guard deployment ruling in Illinois On Thursday, an appeals court denied the Trump administration's appeal to continue the deployment of National Guard troops from any U.S. state in Illinois.

“The facts do not justify the President’s actions.”

The federal courts continue confirming what we all know: there’s no need to deploy military troops in Illinois.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

COVID-19 is “Airborne AIDS”: provocative oversimplification, emerging science, or something in between? COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 is often compared to other pandemics for its societal and global health impact, with some commentators drawing parallels to HIV/AIDS due to the immune dysfunction caused ...

I’m sorry that THE SITUATION feels unreasonable. It’s fair to say that the situation is unmanageable, a situation that all the ppl who already have contracted long covid and who can’t afford more infections have been thrust into. That is something to take up with the govt - a reason to be furious

Can you imagine if that’s what they said the new normal would be on TV before they let rip in zero C19 countries? 😂💀

As the Flu Surges in Asia, Could Getting Sick Year-Round Be the New Normal? by Miranda Jeyaretnam Reporter

"As the Flu Surges in Asia, Could Getting Sick Year-Round Be the New Normal?"

We let COVID rip for years and it smashed everyone’s immune systems. Now flu, RSV and other viruses hit harder — being “sick year-round” is becoming the new normal. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

CDC ‘Not Functional’ After Trump Administration Orders Mass Firings The layoffs targeted leaders in departments related to respiratory diseases, chronic diseases and global health.

I set up a meeting tomorrow with one of the executives to discuss bringing in EIS to help us with a problem. Now I think that's a dead end. It will take generations to restore the damage done by this administration.

Opinion | How politics, not science, is putting vulnerable patients and health care workers at risk Oct. 9, 2025 “Masks prevent the transmission of respiratory viruses. The science is clear,” writes Iris Gorfinkel. “The standards are in place. A health policy that reacts to hospitalizations and deaths falls below the long-held standard of do-no-harm. Policies that are enacted only once hospitalizations are high do the opposite. Justin Tang THE CANADIAN PRESS
