If that were my baby in the NICU I would have lost my shit on those assholes. 🤬 My NICU graduates are 4&5 yrs old now, and I still am not above going absolutely feral on anyone putting them at risk.

It gets me everytime I see something that says, "We learned a lot during the pandemic..." and then what follows demonstrates that nothing was learned from 2020-2022.
Idaho collected more than $2 million since 2021 in survivor and disability benefits to offset the cost of foster children’s care.
We’re talking about the mass death and disability of children We’re talking about children getting pertussis and then coughing so badly they break their ribs and/or suffocate We’re talking about adults & children risking death from pneumonia when the schools are turned into superspreader locations
It's truly a pity we can't "de-vaccinate" people like Dr. Oz, RFK Junior, and Joseph Ladapo so they can have a chance at suffering, lifetime disability, and death like they're consigning children, the immunocompromised, and the elderly to.
I don't feel blindsided. I feel let down. Apparently, I had more hope in everyone than I ever intended to have invested in people. That's disappointing to have discovered.
It must, because I guess that's why, as angry as I am, it's not shocking, just more in a series of disappointing events. Specifics of it can be infuriating, or have a surprise twist/detail to it, but so many of us predicted exactly everything that's happening now so ... 🤷♀️
A politic grounded in disability justice prepares you for all of this and more. Ableism & its manifestations (eugenics, racism, necropolitics, transphobia, &c) are the root of all the evils we face. There’s no preparing, resisting, or liberation without disability justice & disabled people.
Do not be careless or reckless during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19, because your essential well-being is at stake. If you fail to wear a respirator mask in all situations of potential contagion, it is inevitable that you will suffer repeated infections, resulting in irreparable harm. #COVID19
elon has a trans daughter, rfk jr has a son with long covid. they treat their kids as enemies. their children's biology is interpreted as rebellion by their authoritarian parents.
Thank you @michael-hoerger.bsky.social for your continued efforts to educate folks re Covid. It's still a thing, people. #MaskUp
Florida's about to top the charts with measles outbreaks at schools. A lot of kids are going to get sick and a lot of sick kids means a lot of sick elderly people. Me? I'm buying a box of N95s and avoiding the outside world as much as possible. As always. And getting vaccine boosters ASAP.
United States 523,755 people with COVID were tracked in 2022–2023. About 46–61% of adults and 33–47% of children developed long COVID within a year. Risk was highest in older, sicker patients, but overall rates did not rise during Omicron. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
This 30%ish number keeps coming up in recent studies and if you think that’s bad after 5 years, wait til ten. Because while you can recover from long covid, you can also relapse with it, often by reinfections. Only 38% of those with long covid were back at work after a year. Think about that.

the latest from RD: @rjelevi.bsky.social on why if lying can get you the latest COVID vaccine, you *should* tell that lie religiondispatches.org/lying-to-sav...
If your response to the right wing's new push to eliminate all vaccines is, "great, it will reduce their numbers," I suggest you become acquainted with herd immunity and how diseases evolve to overcome vaccines. The level of stupidity right now is off the charts, and I have no idea how to counter it
Good morning to you 🌞 from the Southern Coast on the
Whether you believe in prayer or not, prayers over gun violence show no signs of working. And if prayers are the only thing you offer in response to this nation's epidemic of gun violence, you're not a serious person who wants to solve a real problem. You're a sanctimonious fraud with a gun fetish.
I still hated the motherfucker but I was happier. /shrugs Sooner than later I hope. One day for sure!
It was Emily Dickinson that introduced me to the em dash and I support retroactively naming the em dash after her. youtube.com/shorts/XKsPa...
In response to shifting health policies people keep saying that these changes will lead to preventable illnesses and cause preventable deaths, and it is worth remembering that shifting health policies have led to preventable Covid cases and caused preventable Covid deaths.
My uncle and I have very different lives but somehow share similar health / sleep/ medication profiles He told me he matches his trauma by filling up with experiences of beauty By making strides to visit art museums, national parks, beaches, live concerts as much as possible.. gonna try this
"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.
I bet he proclaims “We’re going in “ when he rapes kids too.
They have their own list. That is the most gangster shit I've ever heard a survivor say. They deserve to be heard. and they deserve their revenge. (Whatever form that may take).
I hope survivors are doing okay right now. There’s alot in the news that stirs up feelings for us all. Release the Epstein files, survivors are the evidence.
"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers
Technically the yoghurt I just rinsed down the sink is "alive" so it's not saying much
Only physically
It's easy to pretend that you don't need a safety net when women are doing the work of keeping you safe, unseen.
I'd love to see the cross-reference between the #PanamaPapers, the #EpsteinFiles, #SCOTUS, and #Congress. #Oligarchy #Kleptocracy #NoKings
We need someone to make an oligarchy list and distribute this list to all of the restaurants and grocery stores and any place they frequent. We need to start making their life uncomfortable. We need to get this list to colleges, fire departments, police departments, hospitals, sane and crazy people

Well, he had to find a way to get assets quick. He knew his cash position was bunk, and the Russia money laundering wasn't doing enough.
They see us an expendable capital to support the exclusive lifestyles they feel they are owed.

I cannot express how disappointed I am that there isn't a shadow government. All we get is incels like Miller and the religious nutjobs from the Heritage Foundation beating off to the Epstein files they won't release. 🙄 One spy. We just needed one white hat spy. 😓 Dumbest mother fucking timeline.
He ends by saying he will never be deterred, yet, he was deterred. 🤷♂️ The real question is, who told the right wing nutbag about the meeting? There is a whole, very questionable, likely very illegal line of communication happening there somewhere.

But he was just doing his job! 🤷
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
A music teacher in Gaza has transformed the sound of Israeli drones into a powerful song honouring those killed in Israel’s genocide. Ahmed Muin Abu Amsha uses music to help displaced and traumatised Palestinian children cope amid war and devastation. www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...
Everyone has a second full time job being mad at the government now
Yet more proof he’s a fuckin fascist… calling others a threat to humanity whilst he criminalises people’s existence, changes history, frees child sex traffickers and actual treasonous scumbags, rapes women and kiddies, and sends innocent people to death camps…
Trump’s precision drug strike (assassination) of alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean violates U.S. and international law. Think about it — what if it was innocent people. Also, a death sentence in a non-war setting without review in a civil setting of national or international law.
Seriously. I'd expect this from the 9th Circuit all day, but 5th is nice surprise.
BREAKING: 5th circuit panel rejects Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to expel Venezuelan nationals, saying there has been no "invasion" or "predatory incursion." Majority Southwich (George W. Bush) Ramirez (Biden) Dissent Oldham (Trump) s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
The weak-ass bullies got their hands on the best trained, most technologically-advanced professional military in the world, now they are running around trying to pick a fight everywhere looking for opportunities to plunder while they show the world “how tough they are.”
I wish this peace would stay with me forever.
Jayden Kiley was 17 and in foster care when her mother died. But for months, no one told her about Social Security death benefits — or her mom's death. Eventually, she learned she was owed ~$8,500.
Sandy Hemme spent 43 years behind bars. Even after a judge declared her innocent and ordered her freed, Missouri's attorney general tried to send her back. The state’s legal and political systems often resist admitting error even in the face of overwhelming evidence.

I know at this point you are so tired of that friend of that relative of that coworker who every few months sends you an article titled: “COVID-19 is surging again,” but for what it’s worth (just know) that they are so tired of having to remind you that this pandemic isn’t over.

September is Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Awareness Month. FASDs are lifelong conditions that can include behavioral challenges, learning difficulties, and physical health problems—all linked to prenatal alcohol exposure. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3L1FdYS #FASDAwarenessMonth
When we shame mothers who drank while pregnant all we do is prevent them from coming forward & admitting their child may have #FASD. This means: -The child never gets an official diagnosis -The child doesn't get the proper treatments & strategies needed to survive our fast paced world #FASDstrong
Having established that we shouldn’t drink while pregnant, we need to stop shaming those that did. No mother tries to intentionally harm their child However some women are: -given misinformation -battling addictions -are stuck in a difficult situation -unaware of the pregnancy #FASD #FASDstrong
Our daughter spent 19 days in the NICU. All days were approved by our insurance. We just got a letter letting us know they changed their mind and 16 days weren’t approved. Some in-house doctor denied it. I’ll make sure I outlive them just to piss on their grave. #NICU

The @nytopinion.nytimes.com published an essay I wrote. A video from a #NICU in #Gaza brought me back to another night, 14 yrs ago, beside an incubator in Tel Aviv—where I became a father. It’s about bounded solidarity, fragile lives, and what might still be saved if we dare to imagine otherwise.

Governor Pritzker slams the president and says Chicago doesn’t need the National Guard. They need the funding that's been approved. The Democrat said that he has experience of asking the president for assistance only to have the “rug pulled out from underneath me when execution meets reality.”
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
Governor Pritzker asked for Proof of Life yesterday.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner were part of Freedom Summer 1964, which similar to the rides sought to register Black voters/support voting rts. Chaney was Black, Goodman + Schwerner Jewish white folks. 16 years later, candidate Reagan gave his coded pro Klan murder speech.
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
today in my forestry course I learned about ghost forests, a phenomenon where there are large areas of dead tree stands. Though this is sometimes because of fire or drought and may be helpful in some instances, this specifically is a sign of global climate impact. Literally ghost trees.
There’s dignity in all labor, across diverse industries. Whether you clean buildings, teach kids, or stock shelves, you deserve safety, respect, and a living wage. Organizing is how we get there.

Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next
