i was 24 working on my portfolio to apply to grad school when C19 disabled me and triggered the symptomatic phase of a genetic disorder. i’ve lost friends, family, my writing community, and my capacity to work a normal job. at times i can’t use my arms or walk/stand well.

COVID is the main driver in the increase of unemployment. I was 21, starting my career in aerospace engineering, when I was infected by COVID-19 - that ended immediately. I am now 25 and still unable to work a normal job. I am 1 in millions with this exact story.

Painting of Rania with her beloved twin babies, Wesan & Naeem, in burial shrouds - by Irish artist and activist Anne-Marie Farrell. Rania waited for them for eleven years of infertility, they were her little miracles. At 6 months old they were murdered along with her husband & 11 family members when the IOF bombed the Al-Salam neighborhood in Rafah, Gaza Strip, on March 3 2024. I have no words to describe the loss this mother, endured... her entire world decimated in a second like so many.

This is it, there's fucking NOTHING. Nothing. No real treatments, no real help, and God forbid you have been been harmed by the virus and the vaccine. Just imagine how hard that would be. How isolating, socially and medically 💔 We need to do better
Winter@PunkyBrewstuh

I am six years into Long Covid and five years into Covid vaccine injury. Despite documented structural changes to my brain, I still don’t have a single specialist actively treating me. The first several years were spent being told it was psychiatric and that I needed inpatient mental health care. The last two years have been spent waiting months for specialist appointments, only to have them canceled at the last minute because they don’t treat Long Covid or vaccine injury patients. Then I’m referred back to my primary care doctor. Rinse and repeat. I have received no meaningful treatment. No comprehensive diagnostic workup, unless I found a way to get testing ordered through my cancer history. And I am on no medications to treat either condition. If this was about cancer, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis, patients being blatantly neglected like this would spark outrage. But because it involves Covid, I’ve been demonized by the right. Because it involves the vaccine, I’ve been demonized by the left. And because both sides are more interested in defending their narratives than helping patients, people like me get trapped in the middle. Six years later, the arguments are still happening. The care still isn’t. So, yeah. I hope the chainsaw doesn’t even buy you dinner first.

Minister Yoav Kisch (Likud), June 2024: "The way things are progressing at the moment, Lebanon will be annihilated. And I say this in a very blunt way: we are in a type of event where Lebanon is going towards annihilation..." x.com/ireallyhateyou… The Minister of Education said that "Lebanon as we know it will cease to exist". I warned back then but no one listened, unfortunately: "Please believe these people. They've already promised one genocide and that's exactly what they did. ISRAEL MUST BE STOPPED."

Israeli minister Miri Regev, of Netanyahu's Likud party, says that not "a single Shia house" will remain south of the Litani. This is GENOCIDE.

Israel does not recognize the idea of borders. Katz: “Israel will not withdraw from the security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. The IDF will continue to defend our borders and our citizens from the peak of Mount Hermon, the mountains of Lebanon, the areas of our land in the Samaria region, and most of the territory of Gaza…”

נשיא ארה"ב מוביל בימים אלה להסכם עם איראן מתוך ראיית האינטרסים האמריקאים, ובהם גם האינטרס המשותף עם ישראל - למנוע מאיראן נשק גרעיני - ואנו מצפים שיעמוד על העיקרון הזה ועקרונות נוספים בתחום הטילים ושלוחי הטרור. ביחד הנחתנו על איראן מכות קשות שהסיגו את יכולותיה שנים רבות לאחור. ישראל חייבת לוודא שגם בעתיד תהיה לנו את היכולת לפעול באופן עצמאי כדי למנוע מאיראן נשק גרעיני, ורה"מ בנימין נתניהו ואני הנחינו את צה"ל להיערך בהתאם. ישראל לא תיסוג מאזורי הביטחון בלבנון, בסוריה ובעזה. צה"ל ימשיך להגן על גבולותינו ואזרחינו מתוך כתר החרמון, הרי הלבנון, חבלי ארצנו בשומרון ורוב שטחה של עזה - מול איומי כוחות וארגונים ג'יהאדיסטים, כלקח מרכזי מאירועי ה-7 באוקטובר. צה"ל לא ייסוג ממחנות הטרור בצפון השומרון, המפונים מתושבים, ובמידת הצורך יורחב המהלך למחנות טרור נוספים. תפיסת הביטחון שלנו חדה וברורה: פועלים מול איומים קרובים ורחוקים ושואפים להכרעות ולא לפשרות וויתורים. הרבה מונח על כפות המאזניים בתקופה זו ואנחנו נחושים להמשיך ולהוביל מדיניות ביטחונית תקיפה שתמנע פגיעה בהישגינו הביטחוניים ולא תסכן את יכולתנו להיאבק מול ציר הרשע השיעי בהובלת איראן וציר הרשע הסוני בהובלת האחים המוסלמים. ברצוני להביע הערכה רבה לפיקוד הצה"לי על ההישגים הגדולים ולחיילינו הגיבורים, בסדיר, בקבע ובמילואים, על מלחמת הגבורה למען ביטחון ישראל - ולתושבי הצפון על עמידת הגבורה שנותנת לצה"ל את הכוח להמשיך ולהגן על ביטחונם. אני שולח חיבוק גדול למשפחות השכולות שאיבדו את היקר מכל ומאחל החלמה לכל הפצועים, בגוף ובנפש, שמסרו עצמם למען ההגנה על חיי היהודים וביטחון מדינת ישראל.

Maha Hussaini
Maha Hussaini@MahaGaza·
Since I started my work in the field of human rights in 2014, I have submitted my resignation multiple times after each Israeli offensive on Gaza. After having done my duties as a human rights advocate and -before anything else- as a human being, I fell into depression resulting from desperation over international inaction towards war crimes, and for weeks, sometimes even months, I felt we were screaming into the void. I was known for submitting resignations after each attack until it turned into a joke at the organisation and among my colleagues. As we move to close the physical space of our Euro-Med Monitor (@EuroMedHR) Gaza office, fearing for the safety of our staff following an escalating Israeli campaign in retaliation for our documentation of Israeli abuses, and most recently the release of our report on sexual violence in Israel’s places of detention, I came across this message sent by my manager on the morning of 7 October 2023. Jokingly, he said: “I’m telling you from now, your resignation will be rejected,” and then followed it with another message: “If you stay alive, of course" I sent him the screenshot this morning, reminding him that I “happened to” stay alive, but that, bizarrely, I haven’t submitted my resignation, not during the genocide, not following the ceasefire agreement, and not even now, as an Israeli incitement campaign is escalating. While the world was looking away as a genocide was being livestreamed on their screens, I questioned the point of our work countless times. As I quietly recited the Shahada (the statement of faith before death) each time I entered a school to document testimonies, I questioned whether the world actually deserved more evidence to finally acknowledge that the target was everything called Palestinian, not just a certain political or armed group. I had so many existential questions, but, to my astonishment (and that of my colleagues), not even once did I submit my resignation. With each human rights defender, activist, or journalist targeted, I came to realise more and more that something about them was annoying the perpetrators. And for the first time in my life, I found a purpose in what I want to be; that if I couldn’t stop war criminals, I want to live the rest of my life annoying them. As we close the door to our beloved Gaza office, we have finally, more than ever, found a purpose in continuing what we do by all means, under all circumstances.

@BirdieBittern The worst part is knowing these families have never heard of this & will likely never hear of this. No precautions. Patients with glioblastoma (& presumably similar cancers?) may have accelerated disease progression in the first 2 months after COVID. academic.oup.com/nop/article/11…

People, please call your Repub politicians & raise hell. They've hidden an amend in a wildfire bill that allows them to get rid of the roadless law that stops them from mining, logging, road construction, and the selling of 59 million acres of our nat'l forests & Parks. Stop them
Sammi🦋@StoriesBySammi

I told you they were coming for the Roadless Rule. Yesterday, Republicans made their move — and they hid it inside a wildfire bill. Here's what makes this so enraging: 59 million acres of America's wildest national forests are now on the table. The 2001 Roadless Rule has protected nearly 60 million acres across 39 states for 25 years. No logging. No road construction. No drilling. No mining. Built after 1.6 million Americans showed up — at 430 public hearings nationwide — to demand it. What lives here: bald eagles, elk, black bears, Cerulean warblers, marbled murrelets. Species that need large, intact, unfragmented habitat to survive. For many of them, roadless forests aren't just home — they're the last places left. What the amendment does: guts the rule. Opens the backcountry to logging and road construction under the cover of "fire prevention." The administration is pursuing repeal through the executive branch at the same time. And unlike the original rule — they aren't holding a single public hearing. 1.6 million people showed up to protect these forests. The administration isn't asking anyone this time. What do you call a wildfire bill that opens forests instead of protecting them? #DemsUnited

Fifty Shades of Whey@davenewworld_2·
An investigation into Mississippi's solitary confinement system says that incarcerated people were held alone for weeks, months, or even years, with lights on nearly all day, little human contact, limited showers, and worsening mental health. At least 47 people under Mississippi's solitary torture program died by suicide in the past decade. A DOJ investigation in 2024 described "restrictive housing units" as "breeding grounds" for suicide, self-injury, fires, and assaults. Solitary confinement is obviously an uncivilized and brutal practice that doesn't help our country. Depriving humans of connection, dignity, and hope will never rehabilitate anyone. It's torture. There's no excuse why our criminal justice system should be multiplying violence and trauma with more violence and trauma.

People with neglected illnesses (Long COVID, ME/CFS, Lyme, etc) get offered innumerable tests, some legitimate, and others outright scams. I'm trying to add test reviews to HFLC, but I don't really know how to approach it. Anyone have any ideas? Obvious questions would be, "what type of doctor ordered this test? How much did it cost? Why did you have it done?" but what information would be useful?
