I used to wonder
if people would take this virus
seriously again
if evidence emerged
that it increases the risk
of heart attack and stroke,
but now that researchers
have found just that
I find myself wondering
what more it will take.

"Well guys, you're gonna have to learn his f*cking name now."

I went on a rant at the Zohran Mamdani event last night, against billionaires who spent millions to try and stop a guy whose name they refuse to correctly pronounce.

We need to start calling misrepresentation of COVID-related harms as due to "lockdowns" what it is: fraud, and a breach of academic integrity.

There's room for good research, but studies that ignore direct effects and mindlessly attribute e.g. changes in mental health to mitigations are dishonest.

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.

Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.

Looking forward to the midterms... 🌊

Below the headline is a photo of a person wearing a black face mask, crouched down on an outdoor walkway, leaning against a wall. They are wearing a red sweater and jeans, their head lowered and hand against their face, appearing exhausted or distressed. The background is softly blurred.

There are two main ways to make people feel safe:

1) lie to them that there is no danger

2) take action to reduce the danger

Why, in the name of all that is rational, did society choose option 1.

Society only chose option 1 because they were lied to.

“It’s just a cold”
“Kids are fine”
“Herd immunity”
"Only the vulnerable are at risk"

Repeat it enough times and people believe there’s no danger.

Denial is easy. Prevention takes effort.

Notice how every time we describe their actions, they repeat the same words back at us? That’s not argument — that’s projection. It’s how authoritarians hide in plain sight.

Tyrants and their followers invert the truth by calling tyranny freedom, purges justice, and their political enemies oppressors. Deflection is fascism 101.

Name it. Call it out. Every time we expose them, we weaken them.
