A middle school I interact with is in a state with a school cellphone ban and y’all everybody in there is relieved. EVERYBODY. The kids, the teachers, the janitors. They are so relieved. Nobody is really uptight about it…except some parents.
🧵An example of the shenanigans and junk science accepted in medical journals. In September 2023, JAMA Pediatrics published a ludicrously bad paper (quasi-retracted after much effort) claiming long COVID is "strikingly rare" in kids, supposedly vs the WHO definition. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Hey so are you reporting and framing this information this way?
Shhhh
Do you really wanna look up to this guy? Really? www.bbc.com/news/world-u...
Interesting how COVID-19 is present in half as many admissions as flu, but in 3x as many <6-month-olds (31% of all child admissions, compared to 5% for flu in this age band). Almost like you could say that #COVID19 is a noteworthy disease of the young, with some aspects that differ from #flu

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...
Almost no food, water, or medicine has gotten into Gaza in 3 months. 5 members of @jvpchicago have been on hunger strike since 6/16 to demand that IL reps #StopArmingIsrael in order to #StopStarvingGaza. To join their demand, use this call tool: bit.ly/JVPBTB
Watching what I can of the ACIP meeting; currently on COVID in kids; yes, kids still getting hospitalized. 1 in 4 end up in ICU. Most are unvaccinated, deaths are rare but are occurring (23 since 2023). Yes, that is far more than the deaths from COVID vaccines (zero) #factsmatter
No
Thank you for saying this
Vaccines are key to reducing #COVID risk, especially for pregnant people “Pregnant women with COVID-19 consistently had a higher risk of death & pneumonia than nonpregnant women of similar age with COVID-19” Adj. Relative risk of death: 1.68 (1.36–2.08) Adj. RR of pneumonia: 1.97 (1.82–2.13)
“FDA Commissioner Marty Makary is sending signals that FDA will likely not authorize a COVID-19 booster vaccine this year for children, and perhaps not for the general population as a whole, saying he “cannot, in good faith” recommend booster vaccination for children.”
The NEA has terminated the grant for 826NYC, which is an incredible resource for kids to write, read, and stretch their creativity. It's also a great place for kids to go after school with supportive, fun, knowledgeable staff. If you can support them, please do: 826nyc.org/donate-us/?m...

"In a moment of rising authoritarianism, it’s alarming to see Democrats championing policies that restrict basic freedoms. If the laws coming out of this moment put more people at risk, they violate our deepest values — as New Yorkers and as Jews." #NoNYMaskBan www.nydailynews.com/2025/04/09/d...
NY Governor Hochul is trying to pass a mask ban in State Budget! Please call your NY Senator & Assemblymember, Senate Majority Leader, Assembly Speaker, & Governor Hochul & urge them to reject any mask ban & anti-mask legislation in the State Budget! #NoNYMaskBan covidadvocacyny.org/stopmaskbanny
Also America did not have long or onerous lockdowns, I am going to lose my mind
the vice president of the united states follows this guy on twitter!
Vote no!
We need to talk about Trump’s threat to defund universities unless they arrest and expel protesters. We’re watching classic fascistic institutional capture in real time and if this continues unabated we’re going to look up and live in a world without escape. The time to fight is now.
Ya know who uses Medicaid? CHILDREN. 40 million kids are enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP. That’s half of the kids in this country. Children don’t contribute to the workforce or buy goods or vote… so no one cares.
Please, PLEASE call it what it is. Controversial? How many millions more have to die for you to say what it is?
This is who you are aligning yourself with?!
What is this?! Why would you side with these people? Would you like more plane crashes too?
Hey does the writer of the article understand the history of medical research and gender?
taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

What about what Musk and Trump have done to the CDC?
Can you try to stop the musk coup? No one care about tomato prices at this moment
We don’t need someone like him now
This is incredibly dangerous and not something anyone who knows what is going on wants
What are you doing to stop us losing ours?
they are stealing data from the american people and depriving us of the transparency that we are entitled to by law. none of this is legal and not a single federal employee has any reason to comply.
BREAKING: Trump signs an executive order that attempts to restrict all schools that receive federal funds from protecting trans and nonbinary students or supporting diversity measures, while at the same time purporting to advance "patriotic education." www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

🚨BREAKING: Missouri has introduced a bill that would make affirming the gender of a student a FELONY and require teachers to be REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS. This is unconstitutional, horrific, and cruel.

I don’t care if she’s using a walker. I care about her being able to buy and sell stocks in her position. I care about how she governs. Walkers don’t change your ability to be ethical or lead
This level of wealth concentration is indefensible
So yes this happens, but no this is not the case with this example.
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...
