happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Basically anyone can get #Longcovid including children who are the ones I am most concerned about because they are the least protected and most exposed group. We urgently need clean air and sensible policies of non attendance with COVID. Failure to rest when infected increases the risk of damage 🧵

The world is held together not by great heroes, but by people who simply helped. You are not obliged to save everyone, but if you saved one, that is enough.

It’s been two weeks since an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good, a US citizen, in broad daylight.
He’s not being investigated.
There’s been no accountability.
Yet 7 Democrats just voted to fund ICE.
They voted to give more money to the people who did this.
Disgusting.

If COVID were primarily prevented by handwashing, we'd expect it to surge in water-scarce regions the way true water-washed diseases do.
The fact that it is surging in high-income countries with excellent hygiene is far more consistent with airborne spread than "wash your hands harder"

When RFK Jr ends all vaccination recommendations and requirements for children, guess what happens?
Insurance companies can stop paying for the shots.
Millions of parents won’t be able to choose the vaccines because they won’t be able to pay for them.
He knows this.
It’s social murder.

This is wild. A 22-year-old having COVID 9 times isn’t “normal” or acceptable.
She washes her hands religiously, but COVID is airborne — Public health failed her.
She had been healthy and happy for most of her life, but repeated infections have clearly taken a toll on her health and wellbeing.

🧵Omfg. In 1965, to keep an eye on China, the CIA hatched a plan to put a monitoring device on Nanda Devi, a difficult to climb mountain in India, overlooking China.
The device was powered by voltage generated by heat from radioactuve Plutonium.
They lost it in the icepack feeding the Ganges.
