You can't convince me that the imperial horrors of the 2020s are not explicitly connected to the c19 pandemic's necropolitical social reordering, which anesthesized everyone into absorbing mass death and disablement as the background noise to the dystopian here and now. War crimes = shoulder shrugs?

If you filter your water in your home, but not your indoor air, you’re doing it wrong. Humans drink about 2 to 3 L of water a day but they breathe in about 11,000 L of air! Ventilate and filtrate, folks. You’re welcome.

We live under the rule of the Epstein Class, which either rapes little girls or bombs little girls in its infinite quest for world domination. Miserable timeline.

No War with Iran. Let Iran Live. End the Forever Wars. War is the Opposite of β€œWomen, Life, Freedom”!

WARNING: Illinois Is About to Elect a MAGA-Aligned Senator But it's not too late -- here's what we need to do to prevent a catastrophic failure and instead elect someone whose record aligns with our values

IL is on the verge of electing a Senator far more aligned with Trump, MAGA power brokers & ICE infrastructure expansion than the values of a deep-blue state.

Here’s what Raja Krishnamoorthi hopes you don’t know about him & how we elect someone better.

How do we get every (yt) liberal a CRASH course in abolition, state violence, counter/insurgencies, settler colonialism, disability justice, & racial capitalism??0? Like June 2020-style study & collectivism? BC the political regression is painful. We gotta retool for the remainder of this decade.

I say this a lot, but it’s worth repeating: academics who casually speak of the β€œcovid years” as if they’re in the rear view mirror only and not *currently still ongoing* are intellectually and morally impoverished. All of their critical contributions should be questioned with skepticism as such.

The U.S. Has Killed More than 100 People in Boat Strikes. We're Tracking Them All. The Intercept is keeping count of all publicly declared U.S. attacks on boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean and the number of civilians killed.

I wonder if people in this country know that the VAST MAJORITY of people in the US did not contribute to the Black freedom movement. I'm always taken aback by how people talk online. Folks, your grandparents & great-grandparents DID NOTHING or they were in OPPOSITION, lol.

Shaming rarely works on most people, so I will simply say: follow the facts, both scientific and economic, for they tell the same story:

The pandemic is far from over. SARS-CoV-2 is still spreading; COVID-19 is still disabling millions today. It's never too late to align one's conduct with reality.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now β€”Β that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

Briefly returning to Bluesky for a quick rant about how the concept of "dying alone" is stupid and unhelpful.

For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.

I’m heartbroken at the loss of Leslie & for YB who he loved deeply & fiercely. For seven years, I had the privilege of knowing himβ€”his mind, his humor, his boundless creativity, & unflinching political clarity. The world is immeasurably poorer without his voice. All gfm will cover funeral & expenses

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

I reached a deal with the burglar. He gets to keep all of my possessions that he can carry and I get to call the police one hour after he leaves.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?
