I think one (of many) ways to fight fascism is to keep reading, informing ourselves, and discussing unsavory histories. I have hope that reading circles, discussion groups, and solo reading can help us make sense of the world, and our place in it. 1/8

The way non-disabled people love to tell disabled people what is/isnt disability discourse. I'm only here for #DisabilityTwitter. To be totally clear: if you're not disabled, you're not my target audience.
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
This is still astonishing... 🔥"at least 70% of inpatient Covid cases in Wales 🏴 were the result of hospital-acquired SARS-CoV-2 infection" We have learned nothing!
Nosocomial Covid in Wales 'Number of inpatient Covid-19 cases in hospital in Wales' On 20 July 2025, at least 70% of inpatient Covid cases in Wales were the result of hospital-acquired SARS-CoV-2 infection... (PHW data and table)
Again, pretending to find a conscience now, as we enter the endgame stage of a genocide you did PR for, is not going to wash. The BBC should never be forgiven for its complicity, its self-censorship, and how it allowed itself to be pushed around by lobbyists to hide the truth.

1/ Universities, schools and daycares are failing their students on #LongCOVID. It's time they step up, protect students, and reduce #COVID19 cases. The situation at Stanford is a harsh example. 🧵 #UniversitiesFailStudents #LongCOVIDAction
Pediatric long COVID lasts for years - and leaves an immune fingerprint. A new longitudinal preprint by Brunner-Weinzierl et al. (2025) shows that symptoms persist in some children for up to 3 years, and crucially: biomarkers don't improve over time - some worsen.🧵
German researchers followed 74 children with long COVID for up to 3 years and found that stable symptoms were driven by shifting immune-metabolic responses, revealing biologically distinct subtypes tied to EBV exposure and immune markers like IL-12p40. researchsquare.com/article/rs-708…
UPDATE: Workers at FOUR key US science agencies have now filed letters of dissent against their leadership. After initially delaying their letter due to fears of retaliation, NSF workers have gone ahead anyway, and joined their colleagues at NIH, EPA, and NASA in speaking up.

What did disabled people do before DoorDash? Many of them died. Most don’t realize getting care for basic needs is expensive and extremely difficult. We literally have a Disability Day of Mourning for disabled people murdered by caregivers and parents. That’s how common it is.
It is 2025, and Time Magazine just published a piece titled, “COVID-19 Made Our Brains Age Faster.” We have known this since 2021-2022. We were misled on purpose. This is *permanent* damage, & forever reinfections are expected. We will be blaming lockdowns until we die.
Heba and her family are starving. They desperately need donations in order to secure basic foodstuffs. Please donate to them directly so they can survive.
chuffed.org/project/136562 Imagine if your only meal every day was just water and salt... This isn't an exaggeration — it's our reality. We are a family of 13, including sick and young children. We are struggling to survive hunger every single day. Please, don't leave us alone. We…
