I wondered what was going on. I've gained 35 pounds since I got COVID six years ago. I can't exercise anymore, but my diet is as healthy as it ever was. I shouldn't weigh more than I did when I was about to give birth, had toxemia, and had been on bed rest for eight weeks.
Weight gain in Long C-19 is more than just inactivity. The greater the fat burden the bigger the cytokine storm

It's also called human trafficking.
This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Whomever runs in 2028 had better take notice. We do not want a return to the old normal, where corporate interests rule and bipartisanship is a governing goal. If you can't handle it, don't run.

Note to Democratic politicians, if you are looking for a way to get young people to the voting booths, run on prosecuting everyone at ICE and we'll turn out in droves.

Australia's Heart Foundation just launched an info campaign on the harms of COVID to cardiovascular health - good to see!
But current vaccines only reduce risk of heart damage, they do not eliminate it. We need masking, clean indoor air, better prevention & next gen vaccines

Protect babies and children from ignorant parents. Wear a respirator.
After two infants died, the Louisiana Dept of Health under the leadership of the new incoming deputy director of the CDC, delayed notifying the public for months of a whooping cough outbreak. Instead, he ordered DOH to stop promoting vaccines. Pertussis is currently a national health crisis.
Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak
After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.

Reminder that we can all protect unvaccinated moms, babies, and children from airborne illnesses like pertussis, RSV, and COVID, by wearing respirators in public indoor spaces.

The cashier at Aldi was wearing a KN95. I asked him if he was sick, or trying to prevent that. He said he was sick. Fortunately I was protected, in my black KN95 that matched his.
As I made my way
through the grocery store
I was not surprised to see
they were running low
on potatoes and green beans
on turkeys and cranberries
and as I made my way
past the pharmacy section
I saw they were running low
on Covid/Flu tests
which sadly
did not surprise me either.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

I think we're starting to wake up. Only we can save us.
Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union.
