I said this would happen “after” the pandemic.
They disabled too many people.

@DefectiveBecca We're still no-coviders, but I think he's right. No issues with any other smell or taste, but Halloween candy tastes weird this year (peanut MnMs in particular). I figured companies just don't have enough cheap chocolate due to global warming. Nutella and Lindt taste fine. 🤷🏻

The comments of this video are filled with people commenting about how bad food tastes now, but none of them are connecting the dots that being infected with Covid over and over can impact your sense of smell and taste 🤦🏻♀️

@Weapon_XReject my mom died a few weeks ago and now it just feels like all my worry for her is being rerouted into everything else going on

@peepeeLEpuke Please stop attacking turnips, they have a use...

Canada is potentially about to elect a Prime Minister with a PhD in economics from Oxford, Mexico elected someone with a degree in physics and a PhD in energy engineering. America elected a barely sentient turnip.

He’s saying people are being held for over 30 days without being processed, denied phone calls, essentially kidnapped.
He asks people help this go viral & to contact news stations, the Human Rights Commission, and Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum.

@heymrsbond "Triggered adults cannot de-escalate triggered children." I might be paraphrasing.

I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. The president just illegally fired me. This is corruption plain and simple. My full statement:

@MeganEDoherty Ah, crap, she's one of mine. I'll email and call tonight. What else?

@MeganEDoherty I'm in IL. Can still write emails tonight if it's not too late.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

NEWS: Last night, DHS detained a Palestinian who helped lead Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.zeteo.com/p/breaking-dhs…

Do. Not. Come. Here. This woman had a return ticket to Berlin for February 15th, her German passport, a visa waiver. She is in ICE detention. Her friends couldn’t find her. Because ICE is detaining her, she missed her return flight to Germany.

Russia is a threat to America's interests, not to Trump's or Musk's. This distinction must now be embedded in any conversation about national security, as happens in every autocracy. Kissing up to Putin, destroying the Atlantic alliance, tanking the economy with tariffs, etc.
Julia Davis@JuliaDavisNews
A person familiar with the matter who spoke to the Guardian on the condition of anonymity said DHS analysts were verbally informed that they were not to follow or report on Russian threats, even though this had previously been a main focus for the agency. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/f…

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?
Maybe literally one fucking American newspaper could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Yes. Some things are difficult and complicated. Some things are difficult, but simple. Trump openly supporting Putin‘s Russia is a difficult problem, but it’s not complicated. Even if we never know exactly what’s behind it, the reality is plain.
Jesse Lee@JesseCharlesLee
More clarity like this. Those claiming that playing along with Trump’s nonsense is some kind of clever path to salvation are just wrong. It’s already gone on too long, and this debacle was the result. Of course Trump ambushed Zelensky to undermine him, Trump’s on the other side!

Vance is the looming threat because of this lack of moral base and his transparent will to power. Trump has his brownshirts, but he's a fading and cowardly old narcissist. It takes a Vance who will do anything for power to create the blackshirts that come in the final phase.

Rubio is a ghost, that's why there's no point in his looking in the mirror to see if there's any sense of shame left. Ghosts don't have a reflection.
CALL TO ACTIVISM@CalltoActivism
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Vance's smirk here annoys me bc respectability in dress is often used as a cudgel against the very people he supposedly champions: the marginalized, poor working classes. It's an idiotic, odious concept that's unevenly applied and often used to shame/ exclude people.

Q: "Why don't you wear a suit?" Ukrainian President Zelenskyy: "I will wear costume after this war will finish."

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous.
Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.
