RFK Jr. yanks pandemic vaccine funding as Moderna reports positive results HHS said it pulled funding for testing because the shots are “under-tested.”…

RFK Jr has cancelled funding for a bird flu vaccine, no doubt because “only the sick” will die of H5N1.

He’s restricting access to the Covid vaccine to those over 65 or with “preconditions”.

He’s pushing raw milk, exercise and “wellness”

There’s never been a better time to wear a respirator.

ICE releases health worker arrested at airport despite living in the U.S. legally for 50 years Lewelyn Dixon had been arrested at the Seattle airport after a trip to her native Philippines in late February. She was released from ICE custody after three months.

One more for the "WTF" quota...

This lady has been legally in the U.S. for 50 years. She was detained by ICE in *February* when coming home from a trip to the Philippines and only just released last week.

"It was horrific; it was awful, it is crowded—super crowded."

San Diego erupts at ICE raiding a local restaurant and detaining ALL staff.

a society that wants to keep its most basic functions intact needs to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authority figures

And I’ll give it to you again if you keep sassin’ me.

Covid is a social justice issue

“Sometimes, tear gas can make you see better.”

Alpharetta newlyweds separated after ICE detains wife Married for three months, Richard Randin watched in disbelief as ICE agents showed up at his home and handcuffed his wife. She entered the U.S. last year as an asylum

People still just don't get it.

"Richard said his wife’s apprehension makes no sense because she was not a flight risk wearing an ankle monitor, has ties to the community and has continued her appeal for asylum status."

Restricting covid boosters to over 65 & those with preconditions is another example of how this is a social justice issue.

Rich and able to pay? You will be able to get a shot.

If you’re poor, uninsured or just had your Medicaid slashed? You’re out of luck.

It’s class warfare.

Why, oh why did I read the comments? Nothing good ever comes from reading the comments.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

At last: gamers are good for something.

You know N95? That’s a NIOSH standard. Without NIOSH, there is no one overseeing the production of American masks, to protect against wildfire smoke or the next pandemic (or this one). As for foreign-made KN95 and KF94 masks, well, they’re subject to tariffs…

They want you to die.

ACAB, most especially for secret police

It’s been such an unexpected treat listening to an anarchist perspective on the series. So grateful you all covered it!

ICE Arrests Mississippi Father at His Citizenship Hearing ICE arrested Kasper Eriksen, a Mississippi father, at his citizenship hearing, imprisoning him and threatening him with deportation.

gotta say I did not anticipate ICE goons going after the whitest possible immigrants with American families, jobs, and in good standing legally. a freaking Danish-born welder in Mississippi with four blonde kids and a pregnant wife. just omnidirectional hate

Another victory for the Trump anti-science, “get sick and die” agenda

Do you have any spare Bengay cream? I’d love to join in on the fun.

2025 is the year ska makes a comeback. We can make it happen.

Just found my new favorite procrastination activity. Seriously though, THIS IS SO COOL!

I’ll leave my 02/13/25 warning right here and say it again. IF you aren’t up to date on ALL vaccines, get them NOW! With Measles still raging, you can add, get titers if you had your MMR in the early 60’s. Not all vaccines had live strains back then.

Lawyer for Venezuelans deported to El Salvador prison arrested Ruth López held without access to lawyers at secret location accused of ‘embezzlement’ a decade ago

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

Homeland Security tweets: It is absolutely sickening to compare ICE law enforcement agents to the Gestapo.

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

New Video of Mahmoud Khalil’s Arrest Shows Trump Admin is Lying in Court The new footage of ICE’s warrantless arrest shows the Palestinian student fully cooperated with federal agents and was not a flight risk, as the government continues to falsely claim.

“The Columbia footage that we subpoenaed conclusively proves that Mahmoud never attempted to run from the ICE agents, that the government lied once again, & that there was no valid reason for the arrest of a US permanent resident and human rights defender” - Ramzi Kassem to @premthakker.bsky.social

If we could admit the following, it would save many lives:

COVID is airborne
COVID is not over
COVID is a social justice issue & everyone deserves access to vaccines, respirators and clean air
COVID can impact everyone, not “only the vulnerable”

Lastly, the “vulnerable” deserve protection too
