An airborne virus is a virus that can infect other people through unseen particles in the air, sometimes for hours after the sick person has left the area! Masks and clean, ventilated air can reduce the risk of getting sick from airborne viruses or infecting others.

Ah, Social Circle, Ga. — this is right near the Rivian EV assembly plant site. Lovely to see the sorts of jobs and activity MAGA would bring instead.
Using a light-industrial site to house humans — who need, like, water and access to sewers — seems like a hell of a thing to try w/o planning.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

The admin wants to define grad programs in many "helping" fields (social work, nursing, teaching, etc) to no longer be "professional" degrees. This would mean major student loan restrictions: only $20,500/year. Tuition alone is often more.

We are in a time where America is proud to be stupid and uncultured. They spent months complaining about Bad Bunny but not once looked up his lyrics or leaned about the Puerto Rican culture. Giving everyone a platform hurt this country in immeasurable ways.

“Black” is being flagged as a potentially prohibited word violating anti-DEI law at multiple Florida Universities. My interview this week with @grundrza.bsky.social documents his event being flagged because the flyer said “Black.”
Racial authoritarianism is here, it’s just unequally distributed.

We can count on one finger how many people have gone to prison for child sex trafficking.
We live in a corrupt system where condemning genocide is punishable but trafficking children is not.😐
