Watching with horror as we guard FDA approved meds with an iron fist while patients decline and die of persistent infection.

Never forget that Renée Good and Alex Pretti were murdered fighting Trump’s fascism. Tonight belongs to them.

We spent decades teaching people that cancer is mostly bad luck, bad genes, or bad habits. Then you find out 2.3 million cases in a single year were attributable to infections.

The reason Long Covid doesn’t have funding is that governments don’t give a shit about disease. That’s it. No group to blame, no conspiracy. They just don’t care and never have. As an entire world, we spend 0.1% of GDP a year on disease research. That’s EVERY disease, combined.

Last year some regrettable cost cutting decisions were made about foodborne pathogen testing, ending 28 years of screening for cyclosporiasis and quickly catching and quenching several outbreaks. Now we still have no idea what the source of this outbreak is. This is the price!!!

BREAKING: Just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, massive trades hit the market. Investors sold a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, ​a $760 million bet that oil would go down. These orders were much larger than anything else at the time. The traders made huge gains. Unusual.

We don’t allow mining in Yellowstone. We don’t allow mining in Glacier. We don’t allow mining in Yosemite. We don’t allow mining in Zion. We don't allow mining in Acadia. We don't allow mining in Grand Teton. We shouldn’t allow mining in the Boundary Waters.

Left hand on the ground trying not to hit the pavement; right hand still holding a cell phone. ICE person standing with a one handed grip pointing his gun right at the man’s head. There is nothing about this that we should accept. We all must reject this. This is our government

"We'll take ICE out of the state if you hand over your voter rolls" should tell you all you need to know about why they are doing this in blue states.

The safest thing for any American civilian to do at this point is to assume that every ICE or CBP agent you encounter is a pardoned violent January 6 insurrectionist with demonstrated homicidal urges toward those they disagree with politically and choose your actions accordingly.

They shot Renee Good in the face. They kidnapped Liam Ramos. They just executed a man on the street. Unmask them. Prosecute them. No more secret police.
