@JasonBassler1 @maura_resister Brave New World indeed

We aren't witnessing the fall of society. We are witnessing the quiet, intentional pacification of the human spirit and the slow sedation of the mind. Overstimulated. Numb. Addicted to the comfort of comfort. The outrage cycle. The endless scroll. Algorithmic conditioning. Exhaustion isn’t accidental. It’s strategic. The modern battlefield isn’t tanks or headlines. It’s the human nervous system and the last act of rebellion is reclaiming sovereignty over your attention.

@MarkJCarney Hypocritical two faced cunt

My statement on Iran-related hostilities in the Middle East:

@RoKhanna And Canada. Don’t invade Canada

As a response to the illegal strikes in Venezuela, Congress must force votes and debate every day this month on War Power Resolutions to prevent Trump from invading: Cuba Columbia Greenland Nigeria Panama Iran It is time for Congress to wake up & do our job.

Turn 36 today & I’ve spent my entire thirties with #LongCovid. When I turned 30 I was biking to work 10 miles a day, & since my mild covid infection — I struggle to walk more than a block or work more than a few hours a week. Here’s 4 things I wish everyone knew:

Two men who occupy prominent positions in Canada’s media landscape just travelled to Israel, where they received a briefing from the Israeli government. Yeah. What are journalism ethics anyway? Those men were TVO’s Steve Paikin and Global News’ Ben Mulroney:

While I do appreciate more people recognizing that the Democratic Party is also the problem, I’m looking forward to folks realizing that the bigger issues are capitalism and imperialism, and both parties exist to reinforce and uphold these systems of oppression.

Why would the predatory capitalist ruling class WANT a population of citizens damaged by repeat waves of infection? There are actually a LOT of reasons this benefits them. Buckle up. 👇 1/9

capitalism has ruined people’s outlook on the world and made people think it’s ok to be extremely selfish and greedy when it isn’t. it’s not normal to think human beings should go without shelter, food, and healthcare if they have no money. it’s so dystopian

95% of people who argue about capitalism, communism, and socialism barely have a clue what those terms mean.

It’s shocking how blind most Americans are to the fact that they inhabit the most evil empire on the planet

When I tweet about #MedicalGaslighting I know most disabled and other marginalized people believe me and know what I'm talking about. But I'm also completely aware that the few privileged people who see my post probably think "yeah right"

@SpencerHakimian Many people can’t tolerate alcohol like they could before having a Covid infection.

American cannot afford to drink anymore.

Venezuelan socialism was succeeding until US sanctions, intensified under Obama, began to kick in. US neoliberals will suffocate or blow up any vaguely socialist nation that begins to succeed. Unless they're too strong, like China. The US is an evil, cowardly, extractive bully.

Susan Griffin, 82, esteemed Berkeley CA author and feminist thinker, has died by assisted suicide. Griffin suffered from ME and Parkinson's. Her 1999 book about ME, "What Her Body Thought: A Journey into the Shadows," was a deeply affecting essay on ME. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

Twenty one pages of questions to start a disability application vs one page for MAID.

Things weren’t better under Obama. The bombs were still dropping. The rich were still getting richer. The banks were getting bailouts while people were losing their homes. But it was all happening with a charismatic figure at the helm, which is the only thing liberals care about.

This is going to send some commentators into a frothy ranting mess.

I once could go run swim and hike Then my mitochondria went on strike Now I crash cuz of them Headaches and PEM LC, let me do what I like! #LongCovid #MECFS

Calling #MECFS "effort preference" is like calling a broken leg "walking reluctance," ffs. It's not a choice—it's biology. PEM crashes prove it. Stop blaming patients for their physiology.

It’s a slow-moving spiral: first their health, then their grades, then their future. Those for whom Covid looms very present are feeling forgotten, subject to pervasive skepticism and a kind of cultural fatigue when it comes to their illness. 🔗 rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
