Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

The State of Long COVID: A Panel Discussion with Researchers, Disability Advocates, and Students
There's a panel at Yale School of Public Health on Thursday, free to attend/stream. ysph.yale.edu/event/long-c...

Please stop saying "During COVID." People are still dying from this virus. People are still becoming disabled from it and contracting Long COVID. People are still not able to access the world and healthcare safely because of this virus. During COVID is right now.

When people ask me when I'm going to stop wearing a mask, my new response is "have you see what's happening to public health in America? Do you think there will be any support if you get Long Covid?"

Long COVID activists fought Trump team’s research cuts and won ― for now Success gives hope to scientists and advocates who managed to get millions of dollars in grants restored.

Countless grants and projects aimed at understanding and treating Long COVID have also been cancelled. This hurts Long COVID sufferers and others with disabilities.

One win: NIH's RECOVER grants were reinstated: www.nature.com/articles/d41....

Countless others, however, remain shuttered.

...and then millions more, like myself, developed lifelong complications from long covid. #fucktrump

Last time he told you not "not to worry" half a million Americans died of Covid.

This press conference on the DC crash is an embarrassment. Just a lot of rambling.

The "you want me to go swimming?" line is utterly reprehensible. Just a garbage, immoral, contemptible response on every single level.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.
