It turned out that things like morals, empathy and dignity are like trees---they take decades to grow. They can also be clear cut just like trees: when ppl are doused daily with fear, bigotry and hate.

It started with everyone being fine with throwing immune compromised under the Covid bus ...on their way to brunch.

Full on apathy and don't give AF led to this mess.

Wearing a mask to protect others was just too "weird".

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

White text on a purple background reads, "Help us keep holding RFK Jr. accountable. Donate today. The Sick Times + NewsMatch."

White text on a purple background reads, On September 18, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. convened a roundtable of top Long COVID experts and government officials. Announced less than 24 hours earlier, the event flew under the radar for most news outlets; even those that focus on science and health were too busy with the CDC vaccine advisory committee meeting that happened on the same day. But at The Sick Times, we dropped all of our other commitments to cover that roundtable."

Purple background with white text reads: New donations (followed by a thermometer reaching $60K). New monthly supporters (followed by a thermometer reaching 200). Until December 31, NewsMatch and the Philanthropic Access Partner Fund will match new donations from our readers, up to $1,000 a person! At the bottom is a graphic showing how financial impact is doubled.

This move by Democrats today (which I called for 2 weeks ago) really exposed the Republican position. It smoked them out in the open. They refuse to extend the ACA subsidies which will cause insurance premiums to go up for 22 million people. It’s not about anything else.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Well, if the golden ballroom fits… Guess Trump’s fine hosting America’s collapse from his gilded bunker while families lose food, healthcare, and paychecks.

You'll see people talking about recissions. Recissions are when Trump just keeps funding that's been allotted by Congress. If this "deal" doesn't prevent recissions, it's worth NOTHING.

Schumer is a chump, so I don't have high hopes here.

SCHUMER is on the floor now making this offer to end the shutdown:

Clean CR
Bipartisan "minibus" of approps bills
1-year ACA funding extension
Bipartisan cmte to negotiate on health care

"This is a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability."

And I can feel your pain and frustration at the system we're in.

All we're asking for: Scientists & HCWs should firmly call for: masking indoors/proper ventilation via indoor spaces.
Preventing spread of airborne viruses should be CDC's top priority right now.

Oof.
The Emergency Order ended. The pandemic has not ended.

It's hard to believe anyone cares when one can't comprehend that Covid is still with us and actively harming ppl.
Apathy flows down from the top. Healthcare workers can't even be bothered to mask up for immune compromised patients.

Come to #IA02 where Ashley Hinson is on permanent vacay, too.
And yet she somehow wants to take Ernst's seat in the Senate.
All while John Deere is laying off, farmers and small businesses are being pummeled by tariffs...

And Hinson Hides.

After voting to give billionaires tax breaks and making health care more expensive, Derrick Van Orden has refused to hold a town hall to talk to the voters he works for in a face-to-face conversation. So, I'm heading to Wisconsin to help give the people he's supposed to represent a voice.

The second the CDC downplayed Covid and taking basic precautions was the day it died.

Hundreds of "public health" folks gathering unmasked indoors in an ongoing pandemic. Make it make sense.

They barely mentioned vaccines on SM. They gave up encouraging masking bc their own leadership wouldn't.

Trump - What's the deal? A 1991 documentary about Donald Trump.

What he's doing with MAGA and the Republicans is aligned with who he is. This documentary shows it.

He has always skated or crossed the law. He drove all his businesses into bankruptcy.

It's worth 1.5 hrs of your life to watch it.
