I will never shut up about COVID. I will never shut up about Palestine. In both cases, the US political establishment (both Democrats and Republicans) made calculated decisions about which lives they believe are expendable. And it’s disgusting.

working irl means weekly (at least) covid tests. would be cool if the results of rapids were actually reliable but apparently that’s too much to ask for in this age of modern medicine

all those student protestors were correct and history will vindicate them, their only crime was being correct too early

Lenin explained in 1917 that incrementalism is a tool used to sedate workers into believing they are making progress towards workers rights but those incremental changes are always going to be crushed by reactionary forces within the state.

ALL EYES ON HANDALA

From the Handala ship now: About an hour and a half until the ship reaches the location where the attack on the Madleen previously took place. The coming hours are critical… We are determined to reach Gaza.

Medical Doctor in New York sharing her experience with her personal health insurance coverage She estimates she’s pays about $5,000 per year for coverage and hasn’t used it in at least 3 years So after paying $15k, she went to the doctor one time, was charged $300 out of pocket…

This leak is all the proof you need that forcing websites and apps to store sensitive user information to verify ID is only a liability and a danger to the public

(We don’t need perfect victims — and the demand for them, the structure where the same ones doing the crime are the ones who set the stage for who is or isn’t guilty, has to be refused continuously in order to remind that life and dignity is a human right, from young to old)

(But I understand that it’s attempt to appeal to the nonexistent conscience of the same people who have enabled this horror — that they will do such a thing to the most innocent of people. I’m not discrediting it but the lessening of the innocent often works in their favor)

Children don’t deserve to be starved but they’re not the only image of innocence and you also don’t have to start at that innocence to make the moral argument that starving and massacring a people is an evil beyond forgiveness.

The teenagers and adults also don’t deserve to be bombed and starved. You can also say that. We don’t need to accept the framing that they are guilty by age.

Forthcoming March 2026

Ring cameras are partnering with Axon (makers of police body cameras, among other police tech) to make a new feature that allows people to opt-in to police being able to live-stream everything the doorbell camera sees AND allow police to request footage directly from users

Yep. This is why they push so hard to label being transgender as a mental illness. Their goal is to have us involuntarily committed. They'll tell us we're being paranoid until....

the Biden Administration knew in December a famine was underway in Gaza. they tried to alter a report on it, then ordered it deleted from the web when the authors wouldn't change it. they knew Gazans would start dying of starvation in January but thought it made them look bad.

1 in 2 U.S. workers can't afford healthcare without going into debt. People are using buy now, pay later apps to go into debt to buy groceries GoFundMe has 250k pages dedicated to medical bills and 40k for tuition Every statistic of struggling Americans is tied a policy choice

School absences have been up since the COVID pandemic began. COVID dysregulates the immune system, and can make it easier for you to catch other viruses and become more ill. In response, a Tennessee a school district is now planning to send sick kids to Juvenile Court:

BREAKING: Donald Trump intends to send the homeless and mentally ill to institutions or concentration camps, thus continuing his perfect imitation of Third Reich policies. He’s taking his personal hell out on everyone else. It will get as dark as we let it.

why complain about doordash when everyone is spreading covid and whatever else in restaurants? how many resto workers are now dead or disabled and using doordash because of you?

I miss Bay Area summers.
