I mean, just *look* at this cover image. This is the energy I am bringing with me into 2026.
Joy as resistance! Joy as rebellion! If all they want is for us to suffer and die, then you better shove your pride right back in their faces!

Most ppl think the COVID pandemic & its effects are way in the rear view mirror. But what if humanity is only at the beginning of experiencing the long term effects of repeated infections w/ the virus? It seems like a lifetime, but it’s actually only been 4 years since most ppl gave up precautions.
This is an important moment.
After more than five years of silence, mainstream media has begun to acknowledge that C19 can harm T cells, and to discuss the consequences that follow. @fitterhappierAJ was one of the first, if not the first, to talk about this.

Tim Walz is effectively blaming the people being subjected to violence for the occurrence of said violence.
Fucking disgusting.

State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis.
I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets.
But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.
Don’t give him what he wants.

South Minneapolis, I just woke up with my eyes burning, from all the gas on the other side of town, so we need to be paying attention to this too
I was supposed to be in bed an hour ago but sending links and videos to people so they know to avoid the green gas (zinc chloride).
Once a lab steward, always a lab steward.
Seriously, I was a chemist twenty years ago, you do NOT want heavy metal toxicity. It fucks you up in weird ways.

Scoop: The leaked protocol of the CDC-funded Hepatitis B vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau. “This is another Tuskegee.”
The protocol reveals that the trial will withhold the Hepatitis B birth dose from thousands—without placebos, without universal maternal screening, and with endpoints critics call indefensible.

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

Pretty soon DoJ's going to be nothing but a fascist clown car full of Liberty U grads.
