COVID-19 re-infection doubles risk of long COVID in kids, young adults, data reveal The second infection was also tied to a 50% or greater increase in several specific long-COVID conditions, including myocarditis and fatigue.

We see officials saying #COVID cases are rising but healthy kids don’t need to worry. This study found reinfection doubles the risk of Long COVID in kids.

Sincerely, families who believed you when you said our kids weren’t at risk — and now they’re disabled.

Happy to see this opportunity with Minnesota Department of Health's Long COVID Program

Oregon Jewish Museum vandalized with painted swastikas, suspect at large The Portland museum’s executive director says this is the first instance of such graffiti it’s experienced, but other locations in the city have been defaced by swastikas in recent years.

This is horrifying. I did an event there years back about anti-Zionist approaches to fighting antisemitism. It was run by long-time antifascists at the time, and it has generally been an important repository for Oregon's Jewish history. Fucking shameful.

TO THIS DAY, I remain outraged that HBO didn’t just cancel “Legendary,” they deleted it too.

Who Are Museums Really For? And Can We Change Our Minds? The film “Binnigula’sa’ (Ancient Zapotec People)” asks the questions: Who are the rightful custodians of artifacts, and what is the responsibility of museums to local communities?

I reviewed an important documentary that asks who owns cultural heritage and if central governments are the best guardians or are they more like jailers?

This is a really, really important story, which is why I provided a gift link. Many people, when they think of higher education, think of elite universities. But most higher education is nonselective (i.e., they admit everyone), and a lot of it is community colleges.

A really important story as we assess the tools & tactics that we increasingly face under this regime.

I just I get so MAD

how can folks be so horrible to each other

Do we not understand how precious we are . The earth is

What the actual hell are we doing

Okay this is worse than I thought. A large # of academic press books (incld. a textbook I use in class) have been moved to a platform called Ebook Central. It's like Kindle paired w/ AI. No footnotes. No page #s No facsimile PDFs are available. I just wrote a lengthy complaint to my library. Sigh.

2,000+ Jews gathered in Columbus Circle this evening to say No More to starvation and ethnic cleansing.

Led by rabbis, they of them moved to the front of Trump Tower, read the names of Palestinian children killed, and said Kaddish.

The NYPD is currently arresting dozens of them.

With the Voting Rights Act overturned, did folks really believe Obergefell would stick?
I celebrated with all my friends their joyful opportunity to be legally married, but this truth lingered like a shadow in the corners

PMC Dashboard, Aug 4, 2025 (U.S.)

COVlD transmission is higher today than during the majority of the ongoing pandemic.

The CDC warns transmission is high/very high in 10 states/territories.

PMC estimates 1 in 95 people are actively infectious.

💯 And needs to be addressed locally in all languages

S.F. sheriff's endorsement of MAGA Trumper makes no damn sense ‘There isn’t a good reason to do this,' political strategist says of Paul Miyamoto. 'There isn’t even a bad reason to do this.’

This is really bad. San Francisco needs leaders to squarely reject the hateful MAGA agenda and do everything possible to protect residents in our Sanctuary City.

Miyamoto needs to withdraw this endorsement now.

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

Spread this pls.

Treating Gaza’s Collective Trauma In Gaza, where displaced children play a game called “air strike” and act out death, the lack of mental-health resources has become another emergency.

"In November 2024, a report by the Community Training Center for Crisis Management found that ninety-six per cent of children living through this war feel that their death is imminent, and nearly half said that they want to die."

Ex–Hedge Fund Billionaire Loses Fraud Case Linked to Loans Against Works by Hirst, Prince, and Picasso Philip Falcone, the former hedge fund manager, lost a fraud and breach-of-contract judgment in a case linked a series of art-backed loans

Sometimes covering art crime is as simple as a judge in NY ruling that hiding four artworks from searches for UCC filings using an LLC and double-pledging them to two lenders—despite repeated assertions of title and ownership—qualifies as fraud and breach-of-contract: www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

Haaretz / Liza Rozovsky Source: Netanyahu expected to discuss expansion of Gaza offensive to areas where hostages could be located Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to convene the security cabinet to discuss an expansion of the war in Gaza, a source involved in the matter told Haaretz on Monday. The source added that the cabinet meeting will also discuss invading areas of the Gaza Strip where the Israeli hostages could be located

Israeli media reports that the cabinet is gearing up to instruct the IDF to occupy all parts of the Gaza Strip.
The implications are a severe escalation of the carnage, starvation, and ethnic cleansing.
UK+EU sanctions should preempt this catastrophe - not respond to it belatedly.
