They're building these facilities around working-class folks...especially Black & Brown & Rural Whites...causing absolute HAVOC regarding utility bills not to mention the 😱 diseases that WILL come from residents being enveloped in all that electricity & other dangerous elements 💔

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

Julia Lynch @jlynch13.bsky.social · 4h

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.

Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.

Just have a talk to the wonderful Healing and CPTSD community about the endocannabinoid system and medical cannabis. There really needs to be more education in medical school about this vital system that supports homeostasis and works with so many other systems in our bodies.

powerpoint slide showing the human endocannabinoid system with all the different types of receptors and a list of the systems that the endocannabinoid system works with, such as the inflammatory and immune systems, nervous system, digestion, learning and memory, emotional processing, sleep, temperature control, pain control, and bone health

Hi, all!

A small group of people with long COVID is hosting a virtual rally on Saturday at 2:30 pm Pacific. We recognize that not everyone is able to participate in person, so we started hosting protests online in April.

In response to HuffPost’s query about who suggested Budapest, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, “Your mom did,” and White House communications director Steven Cheung replied: “Your mom.”

Churches showing an AI Charlie Kirk telling congregants, through an artificial voice, not to let evil win is a new level of instrumentalizing the dead.

When Trump goes, I think we’re going to see the same thing. Visions and AI slop will abound. Prophecies and messages from beyond the grave.

💯 "I was disabled by this virus nearly two years ago. It is not 'crazy' to avoid a virus that already disabled me. It would be extremely odd to accept the public propaganda that this virus is harmless over my body’s own truth."

Dave Ghoul @daveghoul.com · 3d

This is an incredibly important read, and yeah, I very much feel the same way. Pretty much anyone still masking does. And we're right.

Julia Doubleday @juliadoubleday.bsky.social · 4d

People continue to call COVID advocates’ pleas for masking “unreasonable”.

Yet people who’ve already been disabled by COVID have no choice but to live with the “unreasonable” burdens of constant COVID safety.

Anyone repeatedly contracting and spreading SARS is simply not making risk assessments based on actual fact. I keep waiting for someone to show me a single scientific study with actual data showing that this SARS virus is benign now. 460K+ studies say it is not.

Locked myself out of the house and had to borrow a neighbor's mud-covered ladder to crawl back in through a window. That was WAY more of a work-out than I was planning for today. My big, tough-guy dog slept through it. And now I look like Sofia Isella when she does the dirt-covered look on stage 😵‍💫

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Not for nothing, but there are multiple papers like this that draw parallels between COVID and HIV: “Downplaying the long-term immunological and neurological consequences of reinfection is a public-health error on par with minimizing HIV in the early 1980s.” www.ajpmfocus.org/article/S277...
