If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Today would have been George Floyd’s 52nd birthday.

His murder while people looked on is forever burned in my mind.

The murder of a Black man by a white cop over allegations of a fake $20 is the sentence given to Black Americans. No jury, no judge, murder.

He cried out for his mom and died.

Both sides of a conflict are calling each other evil and corrupt, rendering me, a humble journalist, helpless to discern the truth. Best I can do is let you know that both sides are in fact saying those things. Hope this helps

Which is genuinely terrible.

But before you get too blue-no-matter-who about it y'all haven't had your shots either and I know it because even in BIDEN'S last two years less than 30% of eligible adults received a booster.

Those were the "get your UPDATED BIVALENT" years and you still didn't do it.

Americans headed to pharmacies for COVID-19 vaccines are running into roadblocks and confusion due to new U.S. guidance that abandoned broad support for the shots, contributing to the lowest vaccination rates since they were introduced.

WA is on track for its worst year of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) despite strong vaccination rates.

11,551 cases have already been reported — just 104 short of the 2022 record. By contrast, only 9,725 cases were recorded in all of 2024.

actually I'll give 'em this, COVID is "like the flu" in that it's a constantly circulating viral pathogen that we are increasingly discovering is tied to or the source of an entire universe of human disease including so many things we call "aging" or "unwell"

but then that's EVERY viral pathogen so

so funny to me the way a certain unmasked strain of scientist is compelled to get lecturey about "like airborne HIV" which is conceptually pretty on-the-nose, but doesn't raise a peep about "like the flu" which isn't even a little bit true

or "a respiratory disease" which is even MORE untrue lmao

People are VERY huffy and stompy about this post but just as an inside opinion from someone in LC community, It’s hard to believe there is solidarity with the disabled and high risk people who need to avoid covid when our one primary ask is met with accusations that, hey, maybe we’re just CRAZY?

Chantzy @chantzy.bsky.social · 1d

Dear liberals,

If you identify as a leftist who believes in intersectional justice & fighting fascism, please wear a mask in public. It’s one small act of solidarity with the millions living with long Covid - and a reminder that caring for others includes protecting their health

Carving out the people who are taking seriously the measurable and well-documented half-decade-old ongoing threat to your health as “Covid forever dead enders” is just your own way of being “antivax”.

Same assed mindset because you don’t wanna, don’t care, and *need* to poop in the public well.😤💪

Repeat Covid infections increase your risk of Long Covid.

We are in a mass disabling event that too many people are choosing to ignore.

Every infection is a dice roll with disability, and many (children included) are being infected once a year or more.

Mask up, clean the air, get boosted!

Repeat COVID-19 Infections Could Double Your Risk of Long COVID

The latest study shows that getting repeat COVID-19 infections can come at a high health cost.

GQ Magazine is now openly fetishizing nazis

@GQMagazine
There are the Tumblr “Nickstorians” and sincere fanfics. But are young, liberal, possibly irony-poisoned women fetishizing or even falling for the hard-right streamer with the “groyper” following? Writer Katherine Dee investigates.

Whenever I see men complain about the male loneliness crisis or unique emotional/psychological issues faced by men, it’s very clear that they just don’t see women as full people capable of experiencing the exact same emotions they do

When I ask
how her birthday was
she informs me
it was fun, but
every year
after her birthday festivities
she gets ill,
she says she doesn’t know
where she caught it
but as she listed
where all she went
I couldn’t be sure
which of those places
she had caught it at either.

I’m very very tired of “living in fear” being lobbed at maskwearers by people who frequently say they can’t wear one because no one else around them is.

Living in fear is ignoring science and endangering lives and your own health because you’re terrified of not fitting in.
