Pandemic Programs Worked, So Business Elites Killed Them Off To prevent economic collapse amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the government unleashed the power it always had. New programs caused hunger, evictions, and child poverty to plummet. Why not just continue th...

I have been screaming this for fucking years.

Moreover, the cult of human suffering must be destroyed

Chronic illness is expensive—at LEAST $6k/yr (rheumnow.com/news/autoimm...), but prob more like 2x. + @lupus.org found 55% of ppl w lupus can no longer work full time.

For comparison: how do you calculate the social cost of wearing a mask in dollars? Is it 5 figures?

Do you have gettin sick money?

Problem is, not enough of y'all realized it has never once STOPPED being "eugenics summer," and when some of us tried to tell you it's woven through literally everything in Western society from our public health policies to even our basic linguistic conventions, you looked at us like we had 3 heads.

Public health is quiet on Covid’s damage by design. Govts, workplaces, schools, hospitals can’t be held accountable for not cleaning the air in absence of masking if you don’t know Covid is causing you chronic illness & disease. We all keep working, shopping, sacrificing health to prop up economy. 😷

Trueanon!

Meanwhile, here’s who is in charge at the FDA

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. must resign or be removed.

Enough.

Every day, starving Palestinians in Gaza have no choice but to try to get food for their families, knowing full well it’s a trap and they’re likely to be murdered. This bait-and-switch starvation/extermination move will be studied for decades, after it can’t matter. Unforgivable.

Your normalcy bias is putting you in danger.

We are either the generations that end fascism and corporatism forever or we are the generation that loses freedom for generations. This isn’t going to end without a massive, world wide fight for the future we want.

Psst you can easily find the board of directors of the Nashville Downtown Partnership on their website, and you’ll see who their allegiance is to!

The Group Behind Project 2025 Has a Plan to Crush the Pro-Palestinian Movement

You'll be shocked, shocked to learn that the people behind Project 2025 are the exact same people who also invented the scheme to use antisemitism as a cudgel for actually destroying free speech and critical thinking at American universities www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

NYT headline: “Kennedy Advises New Parents to ‘Do Your Own Research’ on Vaccines” Subheader: “In an interview with Dr. Phil, the health secretary offered false information about vaccine oversight and revealed a lack of basic understanding of new drug approvals.”

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?”

The Last Hospitals in Gaza In the ruins of a health-care system, many medical facilities have become graveyards. Doctors continue to deliver lifesaving care—but they risk their own lives in the process.

Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation.

They're building concentration camps for political dissidents

RFK Jr.'s "MAHA" movement doesn't want to eliminate chronic illness. They want to eliminate the chronically ill. Public health, modern medicine and disease mitigation will suffer under RFK Jr. because he sees sick people- not sickness- as the problem.

RFK Jr and the “MAHA” movement are wrong about health and disease at the most fundamental level, and their “strategy” to achieve a healthier country won’t just abandon the most vulnerable; it will target them.

Photo of me sitting in my wheelchair on a brick walkway & holding a sign that says: 5 years of Long Covid Half a decade of neglect Where’s the action? 1 in 22 COVID infections leads to Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Lifelong Life-destroying

5 years. The only thing more traumatic than losing your life to a pandemic is being judged, mocked, & abandoned for it. If I look a little dead behind the eyes, that’s because I am 😵‍💫

The effects of the House’s proposed “Medicaid cuts to pay for tax cuts” in one graph: a 3.9% boost in income for the top 1% of households and a 7.4% reduction in income for the bottom fifth of households. In two words: class warfare. www.epi.org/blog/the-hou...

Post from NLRB Union: Yesterday, the NLRB’s Buffalo office (Region 3) received word from its landlord that GSA—acting on behalf of DOGE—had unilaterally cancelled the Region’s five-year lease, without any prior notice to the Agency. The Region has been given 90 days to vacate the building.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant.

Today:

The revolution will be accessible or it's not much of a revolution. Access is not just about disability access. Access also includes gender neutral bathrooms, sliding scale option, childcare, ending food desserts so folks can have access to nourishing foods, clean air and water, language justice.

she's doing a noise set

Most people decided in 2021-22 that disabled people can be sacrificed and that was part of what made the current moment acceptable to most folks whether they realize that or not.
