COVID is a vascular disease Got blood vessels? - THEN YOU'RE VULNERABLE TOO

Here are 5 reasons why I would wear a respirator, if I lived somewhere with a Meningitis B outbreak.

Well this all sounds like absolute bullshit

@sarahlustne @1goodtern Several YEARS ago Sarah 🤦‍♀️

@1goodtern When were widespread Covid jabs last offered to this cohort?

What do you mean years? The most recent wave was last term, and lowered lymphocytes last for months. Oh for goodness sake this is all so infuriating. <screams>

@LazarusLong13 Yes

I'm curious - any other LongHauler advocates like myself who do NOT have LongCovid? (But, my advocacy is born out of self-interest/survival, because I recognize I am advocating also for a possible future me who could have LongCovid.)

"Wes Streeting was adamant the risk to the wider population was "extremely low", and it was "absolutely fine for people to go about living their lives in a normal way". Apparently, they're not @wesstreeting. Still some brain cells left in the population.

Trump’s ultimatum to Europe: Send your navies on a suicide mission into the Strait of Hormuz, or the U.S. will annex Greenland.

Starmer lied to get into power & our media are incapable of holding him to account, because they were complicit in the heist. Now we’re being dragged into a war for Israel & a mad Pedophile king, with bills through the roof & the threat of getting us all blown up. Well done all.

Keir Starmer has dragged the UK into this war against our will. UK bases face further attacks - putting military personnel and civilians in the potential line of fire. This is a Prime Minister who promised a vote before any military action - that must now happen on Monday.

"In China, when we quarantined individual apartments, but all the apartments that shared the same sewer line or kitchen vent pipe got sick because it was aerosols, not droplets." Awks but nevertheless 100% true 🤷‍♀️

@zippytonto @numberofh3arts @PopBase ANYTHING BUT THAT! 🙈🙉

@numberofh3arts @PopBase I could tell you but the bots would come after me. It has something to do with a word beginning with a p and ending in a c.

‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ actor Nicholas Brendon has died at the age of 54. (hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/nic…)

We need fully funded hospice care before anyone talks about assisted dying.

The UK Has ZERO legal ground Under international law to let its bases be used for US-Israeli aggression on Iran. The UN Charter is crystal clear. Article 2(4) bans any threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. Article 51 allows self-defence only if an armed attack occurs, and it must be necessary and proportionate. There is no UN Security Council authorisation here. The US-Israeli strikes on Iran that were not in response to any Iranian armed attack. UN experts, the Secretary-General, and legal analysts rightly call this aggression. In fact, there is broad consensus that it's an illegal aggression dressed up as “defence.” Iran’s counter-strikes, by contrast, are lawful self-defence. Now the UK wants to allow US forces to use British sovereign bases for strikes on Iranian missile sites. This is not “limited defensive action”, as claimed. It is direct facilitation of an unlawful war. UN General Assembly Resolution 3314 (Definition of Aggression), Article 3(f) states: “The action of a State in allowing its territory, which it has placed at the disposal of another State, to be used by that other State for perpetrating an act of aggression against a third State” constitutes aggression itself. In this context, the UK territory triggers UK responsibility. Even under the ILC Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts (2001), Article 16: a state that knowingly aids or assists another in committing an internationally wrongful act is itself internationally responsible. The ILC Commentary explicitly cites allowing the use of territory or bases for an armed attack. The UK Attorney General initially refused the US request precisely because of this risk of complicity. The sudden “limited defensive” U-turn changes nothing — the missiles being targeted are part of the same illegal campaign. Claims of collective self-defence do not save this either. Such claims require a request from the victim state, must remain proportionate, and cannot be used to aid an aggressor’s broader unlawful objectives. Hitting Iranian territory to “protect Gulf allies” while the US/Israel campaign continues its offensive crosses the line. The UK is not neutral. By providing sovereign bases it becomes a co-aggressor under international law. This violates the prohibition on the use of force, the duty not to allow territory to be used for aggression, and exposes Britain to state responsibility at the ICJ or elsewhere, and triggers Iran's right to self-defense. Starmer must revoke permission immediately.

Sixteen years ago, one man stood alone on a grassy hill at a music festival in Washington State, USA, and started dancing by himself. People glanced over and looked away. Some laughed. His roommate leaned in and warned him people were filming him. He did not stop. Then one stranger got up and joined him. Then another. Then the hillside tipped. Within minutes, hundreds of people were sprinting from across the field to be part of something that, thirty seconds earlier, had been one man being laughed at in a field. Someone filming from higher up the hill said quietly: "See what one man can do. One man can change the world." The clip spread across the internet in 2009. Entrepreneur Derek Sivers played it at a TED conference to explain how movements actually begin. Not with the first person brave enough to start, he argued, but with the first person willing to join them. Collin Wynter, the man dancing alone, later said he had no idea he had done anything special. He was just tired of watching everyone sit still.

@Nucleocapsoid I'm so f-ing jealous

How is anyone managing to sleep at night right now, i mean genuinely, HOW?

Britain’s involvement in the war on Iran is Peak Starmer: lie about it, deceive the public, be given cover by complicit media, but position UK so that the Iranians consider us belligerents whilst Trump considers us lily-livered objectors. Act without principle, please nobody.

@flying_rodent My God, is that real? My head hurts.

Well, I think that says it more eloquently than I ever could.

Trump 1 hour ago: "We don't want a ceasefire" I wouldn't read to much into this. As with the military buildup since mid-January, look at the assets not his words. It's very clear that assets are being moved into theatre for a possible "boots on the ground" scenario.

This is a reckless act of escalation that endangers us all. No discussion. No debate. What a disgrace. How on earth can the Prime Minister still pretend we are not involved? It doesn't matter how he dresses it up. Britain is participating in an illegal war of aggression.

Wow. The newest Zionist propaganda already got to you? The nonsense you’re repeating is still in its early development among Hasbaraists. First, we opposed Zionism before the Soviets even existed. The Soviet state began with the “October” Revolution in November 1917 (October in the old Russian calendar), when the Bolsheviks seized power in Petrograd. The formal state known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was established on December 30, 1922. We were against Zionism before 1900. We were already publishing anti-Zionist literature and warnings then. The increase in anti-Semitism and the danger to Jews that Zionism would cause was a central theme of Bar Hedya O Chalom Herzl, the first book written in opposition to Zionism, by Rabbi Dov Berish Tursch, printed in Warsaw in 1900. Among other things, he cites a letter from the Chacham Bashi in Turkey warning that the Zionist project would arouse the Sultan’s ire against the entire Jewish population in the Holy Land. Here is another example, from an Orthodox newspaper: “The Zionists have taken the holiness of our Holy Land and the love of Zion—the object of our nation’s yearning—and used them to deceive … to blind the eyes of the wise and to pervert the words of the righteous; to trick the rabbis and to mislead the pure and straight of heart.” (R. Yaakov Lifshitz, in Hapeles, 5661 [1901], p. 180.) It wasn’t only the Orthodox who opposed Zionism. For example, The American Israelite (1/19/1902) called Zionism a “pernicious agitation” that would undermine the status of Jews in their countries of residence. Lucien Wolf, in The Jewish Quarterly Review (October 1904), wrote—correctly—that “the characteristic peril of Zionism is that it is the natural and abiding ally of anti-Semitism and its most powerful justification.” There were no Soviets then. Yet it was already understood that Zionism would endanger Jews. There were no conflicts with Palestinians then, yet anti-Zionist Jews already warned that Zionism would damage relations between Jews and Arabs in the Holy Land. Second, the opposite is true: It was, in fact, Soviet propaganda that later convinced many people that Zionism is connected to Judaism (see, for example, the anti-Semitic video below, produced by the Soviets in 1983). Their goal was to associate Judaism—and thus all Jews—with Zionism, bringing ire upon all Jews, not only Zionists, something that Zionists try to do even today. Much of Zionism comes from Russian ideological frameworks hostile to Jews. For example: under Stalin, anti-Semitic Russian policy stopped recognizing Jews by their religion and instead classified them as an ethnicity (like Uzbek or Estonian), as reflected on Soviet identity cards and passports. Other religious groups—Christians and Muslims—did not have their religions converted into ethnicities. Thus, an Estonian who practiced Christianity was listed as Estonian, but an Estonian who practiced Judaism was listed as “Jew.” Zionism, to a significant extent, originated in Russia and adopted these anti-Jewish frameworks—where Jewishness is reduced to ethnicity rather than religion. Zionism is a hate movement against Judaism. Btw, the Jewish, Halachic way of spelling Lisa in Hebrew is ליסא. The way you spell it was invented by the Zionists.
