Reading about today's UK #CovidInquiry report and it's bringing out of me a range of emotions.
In particular ANGER that Covid and #LongCovid are still being past-tensed.
I feel abandoned in my new-found disability.
Shame on all who have deliberately undermined this pandemic, vaccination and more.

People who have already been through an ICE raid - do you have any advice for cities they’re about to hit next? What worked in your favor? What didn’t? Is there anything you’d do differently? What were your best resources for organized resistance?
Any input appreciated
