“This culture of repression leads to medical settings, given how disempowered patients are to protect themselves, being the place where coerced infection is perhaps most rampant”
No one should have to choose between care & Covid

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

The headline they used for this story is interesting. So if a celebrity gets Covid they are concerned, Yet the majority of the public thinks Covid is over. You can not have it both ways, Covid is not Over.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
