I rarely repost any advice on apparent silver bullets for #LongCOVID, because I don't want to raise false hope. However, I make any exception for the #Microclot hypothesis.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.

They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.

My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

It's ecological breakdown that should put us on a war-footing: official Admissions of extreme, eco-caused national security threats foreground importance of climate adaptation to bring much needed urgency and agency.

House Democrat Says Abolishing ICE Isnโ€™t Enough โ€” DHS Must Go, Too โ€œThe problem isnโ€™t โ€˜training.โ€™ DHS was built to violate our rights,โ€ said Rep. Delia C. Ramirez.

Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, โ€œDHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.โ€

Next, I tried the same regimen on my then 23-year old son. And within weeks he noticed an improvement in multiple, unexplained severe pains in internal organs, & an amelioration of some of his #LongCOVID symptoms.

New polling: majority of Thames Water customers want Ofwat to reject creditorsโ€™ proposal for the utility New polling has revealed that 54% of Thames Water customers think Ofwat should reject a deal proposed by Thames Water's creditors, and put it into special administration.

๐ŸšจThames Water is on the brink of collapse.

๐Ÿ™‹We asked its customers what should happen next.

54% think the water regulator Ofwat should put it into special administration. And over two thirds (68%) believe that Thames Water should be run in the public sector.

Most viruses seem to get more transmissible but less virulent as a pandemic evolves, and that is true for SARS-CoV-2. Of course some folk get MORE susceptible after every infection. Itt is far from over.
