Nine former leaders of the CDC agree - RFK Jr.'s moves at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention endanger public health and will leave Americans sicker and worse off. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…
As of Monday, Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP lawmakers have officially made it even harder in Texas to prevent school shootings, suicides, and murders by domestic abusers.
Big thanks to all of you who mobilized on Labor Day to demand a country that puts workers first.
Trump illegally killing drug dealers, illegally unleashing the national guard and military against citizens, illegally detaining and kidnapping immigrants, threatening to end mail-in voting, and urging gerrymandering. Folks, what would you call these actions if another leader did them?
Hey New Jersey, join hands in solidarity against Trump’s authoritarianism at Hands Across NJ on September 17. Thousands of New Jerseyans will join hands from Fort Lee to Washington Crossing to form a living chain of resistance.

The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to decide if citizens can still enforce the Voting Rights Act, after a federal appeals court ruled that only the government — not private citizens — can sue to enforce protections against racial discrimination in voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
So a little drug boat like that requires a missile? There are 4000 troops down there and many ships. Why didn't they intercept them, or wait until they reached the bigger boat? Is Trump trying to provoke a war with this Veneuzelan strike? Something is fishy, as always.

Trump lied about Tren de Aragua to push mass deportations. Now he’s using the same lies to justify strikes on tiny foreign boats in international waters. He’s laying groundwork for war—and martial law.

Every dose built trust in a tool that can be used against deadly viruses like H5N1, Nipah, and Lassa. It is also a shield against engineered threats. Protecting public health and national security means strengthening, not retreating from, this breakthrough.
As @vermontgmg.bsky.social observes, it's not just that the many red flags about Trump's health haven't become a news event like they almost certainly would have if Biden or Clinton were involved, it hasn't even become a news *story*: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...

Reasons I will wear an N95 when teaching this fall 2025: - WHO still classifies COVID-19 as a pandemic - WHO still recommends masking in indoor public spaces - 5 years watching long-COVID progressively disable my husband - don't like participating in eugenics - want to protect my cats and your kids
“IFN-α nasal spray prophylaxis reduced the incidence of COVID-19 among adult cancer patients.”
How many content creators associated with dark money have been talking about this bill? New legislation as of March 2025 & I haven’t seen anyone discussing it on socials. I wonder why? 🧐🫤
If masking and/or talking about the realities of COVID irritates people in your circles, please hear this: you are not responsible for other people’s discomfort with reality.
It only took 5 years but finally some jurisdictions are putting out clear and accurate information on how to protect yourself from COVID.
STUDY finds "no association between mRNA or adenovirus COVID-19 vaccines and ischemic stroke." However, "Systematic reviews report over a 2-fold increased risk of ischemic stroke following infection with SARS-CoV-2." www.jns-journal.com/article/S002...
📈 About 1 in 121 people were infected in Canada two weeks ago, about 1 in 65 now. That's what happens when we don't have any type of Covid response.
COVID hits much differently when you don't have insurance.
We have the same dangerous white nationalist voices in Canada and (obviously) the U.S. They are closely connected to Alberta separatists and MAGA lunatics. The hate rally in Toronto is connected to this. This is a coordinated movement that people need to be aware of and speak up against.
🚨Meidas Canada is LIVE Connecting a global conversation about resistance in the age of gangster fascism and disinformation. This is resistance without borders. youtu.be/QZvOUFBptHA?...
Lots of people heading to school tomorrow here in Canada… 1 in 65 has COVID. Mask, open windows, clean the air.
This is incredible - early stage research suggests drugs based on mRNA vaccine technology could protect against just about any virus 🦠 🧪 Essentially, the mRNAs turn on innate defences ahead of infection, which can give the body a crucial edge www.newscientist.com/article/2492...
Heart disease patients should get vaccinated against respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19, cardiology experts say. Anyone with heart disease is high-risk, regardless of age, since infections can trigger heart failure and raise the chance of heart attacks.
Truly, a disastrous idea. This is an anti parasitic drug, it has no effect whatsoever against SARS2, other viruses, or cancers. Unmonitored use can lead to liver inflammation and other toxicity. Nuts. www.texastribune.org/2025/08/27/t...
Vaccines have one of the highest reward to risk ratios of any medical intervention in human history. This sociopathic conspiracy theorist is literally killing people, causing the deaths by vaccine-preventable diseases of people who could have lived.
YES! Thank you... Say it again, and again, and again. They are not "illegal immigrants". - seeking asylum is legal and has been since 1951.
My GP has been brilliant with my Long Covid care, so it appalls me that others are being gaslit instead of helped. Is it not enough to have your life upended? Must people battle for care as well? #LongCovid patients gaslit by GPs, study finds www.bbc.com/news/article...
This caught my eye: "Studies have reported significantly lower plasma CoQ10 levels in patients with ME/CFS compared to HCs, suggesting that CoQ10 deficiency is a significant contributor to the pathophysiology of ME/CFS" I think CoQ10 is an important part of my regimen to manage fatigue.

It’s good to see there is some movement in the NY State legislature re: prescription requirements for the Covid vaccine.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
This is an extremely good idea that anyone can do about any issue you care about!

So, acquiring more robust protection via “hybrid immunity” isn’t a benefit of being infected after all…
Covid is rising as kids return to school. Some children don’t bounce back—weeks later they’re still exhausted, dizzy, or struggling to focus. Parents and pediatricians: see the early warning signs at longcovidfamilies.org. Early intervention matters. #PediatricLongCOVID
Early studies of Long COVID treated kids like smaller adults. Families pointed to what else they were seeing — symptoms unique to children. Long Covid Families makes sure those realities shape research and guide the path to care. Blog: longcovidfamilies.org/blog-early-p... #PediatricLongCOVID
I was healthy my whole life, until I wasn’t. I was moving my body through the world, until I wasn’t. I was enjoying food, until I wasn’t. I was walking my dog, until I wasn’t. I was feeling the wind, until I wasn’t. I was spending time with loved ones, until I wasn’t. -

UK: What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has the answer: "Respirators would have dropped the rate of COVID transmission by an estimated factor of 9, compared with 0.6 for surgical masks. A factor of 9 is enough to put SARS-COV-2 into exponential decay! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I can't show you any kids in my county that have "Lost the light" in their eyes from a COVID vaccine, but I can show you the graves of three kids in my county who died from COVID before the vaccine was available.
If you’ve ever compared unvaccinated kids to vaccinated kids, you’ve seen the former are more likely to die.

I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities
