An old friend calls and talks about themselves NON-STOP. I knew that she would be calling because I had been warned that she was making rounds today. She talked about her concert tickets for the Summer, her intended travels, her Ozempic weight loss, new LV wallet, her new nail stylist, all the compliments she gets everyday…. and then I interrupted and said yeah, I just got off of a call about the Covid cases… “Oh, let me call you right back, she said.” That was 5 hours ago!!! Yup! The mention of COVID still works!!! It both silences and gets people off the phone expeditiously!

I want reduced insurance rates! ✅ Novid ✅ 7-day/week respirator-user

We are proud to endorse @effie4congress in #NY17! While Rep. Mike Lawler sits in Washington rubber-stamping billions in military aid to Israel, Effie went to Palestine to see the reality for herself. She self-financed a trip to witness the apartheid conditions firsthand: the checkpoints, the land theft, the daily humiliation of an occupied people. She returned with something Lawler will never have, the moral clarity that comes from bearing witness. Lawler's record is a monument to the Israel lobby. He votes for every weapons package, backs legislation to silence speech critical of Israel, and enables the genocide unfolding in Gaza. He answers to AIPAC, not the families of the Hudson Valley. Effie Phillips-Staley offers the change this district needs: a representative who has seen the truth and refuses to look away. She rejects all Israel lobby money, condemns the genocide unequivocally, and demands an immediate arms embargo. She knows that every dollar spent on bombs abroad is a dollar stolen from schools, healthcare, and working families here at home. Lawler votes for war. Effie will vote for peace. Simple as that.

C0VlD isn’t over for the tens of millions of Americans who suffer with L0NG C0VlD, and you’re one C0VlD infection away from being one of them.

Twitter is erroneously auto-labeling our posts as "Made with AI":

Given the horrific destruction that Israel’s extremist government has wrought on Gaza, Iran and Lebanon, the last thing in the world American taxpayers need to do right now is to provide 22,000 new bombs to the Netanyahu government. No more weapons to support an illegal war.

Here's what Chris Rabb's opponent, Ala Stanford, had to say this week. Ala Stanford just got over $1 million from 314 Action which AIPAC has historically funneled money through. Coincidence?? 🤔

why is the right wing not celebrating the victory of free speech leader and musical artist Afroman

Hot off the press, here’s the relevant extract in today’s Covid Inquiry report about the protection from different masks: 😷 Surgical masks: Designed to protect others but do NOT protect the wearer. 😷 FFP masks: Fit closely to the face & protect from both droplets & aerosols.

Known from day one of the pandemic: surgical masks are not PPE. The thing that affected so many of us was trying to comprehend the bone-headed stupidity, the belligerent murderousness, which kept pushing them as suitable PPE. It has completely changed the way we now look at the world, and not for the better.

One positive from the pandemic was how people came together on twitter to use science to try and counter the “bone-headed stupidity, the belligerent murderousness” and the paternalistic arrogance shown by the many in positions of influence and leadership.

Nicholas John Acker was a USPS worker in Michigan who died at work. His death was completely preventable. He was trapped in a machine for hours before his body was found. I will continue demanding answers for his parents and fiancé.

Do other people's workplaces make them check in halfway through the day when they call in sick to see how they're feeling and if they can come in?

@1goodtern and no one is going to thank us and no one is going to admit we were correct but now we are certain that we were correct and are correct

This meningitis outbreak proves a classic rule of public health: That people warning about predictable dangers look like shrill fearmongerers. And that no one pays attention until the problem escalates.

NEW from @JulianAndreone / @DropSiteNews: Rep. Chris Deluzio [D-#PA17] will reject AIPAC support moving forward. @RepDeluzio says: "You've got to make your own decisions about where you stand. And I think if you're making decisions that are about outside support rather than what you believe, what your constituents believe, I think your'e doing this job wrong."

This is not a referral code, and I do not receive any revenue from any COVID product or company.

What type of doctor do you go to for help with neuroinflammation from covid vaccine? Is it a neurologist? It seems to get worse with each passing day. The past two days it’s felt like my brain is on fire. I’m sitting here with an ice pack now, but it’s not helping. Thanks
