The time & life & experiences & relationships I’ve lost to this disease X the tens of millions of other people who have lost just as much makes me want to destroy things. Our collective grief could blow up the sun

South Tucson Mayor Roxy Valenzuela lives with her family at a motel that was purchased by a local soup kitchen and converted to affordable housing. It’s an act of solidarity with other residents, she says.

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

Remigration Wikipedia Page.

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.
It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement. Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.

Yes.

If you don’t understand how masking protects disabled people, trans people, immigrants, poor people, etc all of whom face higher health risk & more barriers to accessing resources… it tells me not just about your scientific literacy & politics, but your community and who you are in it.

Nearly everyday I talk to someone who is trying to find adequate healthcare for their child with Long Covid. Or it’s someone struggling to find a healthcare provider who will mask for them without insulting them. Or someone trying to cope with their Long Covid symptoms.

Or someone…

I hesitate to elevate this comment—IME people aware of how uninformed it is are in the majority on Bsky—but worth observing that this coming from eg the NYT opinion page is part of why RFK has an opening to pretend to be better on Long Covid than liberals. They’ve made the bar that low.
