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.

My latest:

Beyond all reason

Long COVID patients are constantly harangued about our requests for COVID safety. Yet what we're asking for is far less than what we're called on to do to survive.

CovAIDS is my description of this autoimmune nightmare.
Just as destructive and socially obstructed as the HIV crisis. Although, no one expects you to get HIV twice a year. Time will tell.

COVID-19 is “Airborne AIDS”: provocative oversimplification, emerging science, or something in between?

COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 is often compared to other pandemics for its societal and global health impact, with some commentators drawing parallels to HIV/AIDS due to the immune dysfunction caused ...

🚨 This is happening everywhere you go depending on where you live and your social media presence. Just assume nothing you say, text, look up, or read on your phone is private. Don’t take your phone to a protest without a faraday bag. Use a dumb device to record video. 1/2

Barron’s upstairs in the White House seeing what stock he can short tomorrow when his old man gets home and posts some more China sh*t. Market manipulation is real.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

The single act you can take with the biggest antifascist impact is wearing an n95 in public.

Illness & disability most harm the communities that fascists target: trans, disability, BIPOC, immigrant, poor, &c.

COVID, measles, &c are bullets. Your maskless face is the gun.

Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

When masked secret police are crashing into cars & violently pulling women out & beating them to a pulp with no warrant, answering to no one, this isn't democracy!

We have 1 chance to retake power—Prop 50!

If you care about our country, VOLUNTEER or DONATE.

WE NEED YOU!

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.
