Most chronically ill people were once healthy too.
Also what Imani Barbarin says: the second you become disabled you cease to be seen as a reliable interpreter of your own life. People will stop believing you. Doctors, but also most other people.

Medium gives employees Friday off to participate in national strike protesting ICE | TechCrunch
Activists behind the general strike are calling for "no work, no school, and no shopping" amid a push to defund ICE, which has escalated raids in U.S. cities, killing several people, including two U.S. citizens earlier this month in Minneapolis.

I’m watching friends succumb to doom watching what’s happening in Minnesota and I want to shake them and scream “Can’t you see the people organizing? Can’t you see them winning?”. Doom is a warm blanket of helplessness that keeps you from the fight.

Pro tip: If you are attending a rally or action, wear a N95 mask & bring extras to give to others.
High quality masks can serve triple-duty: they prevent you and others from getting sick from airborne viruses, they keep your face warm in the freezing cold, & they can protect against surveillance.

The United States has officially withdrawn from the WHO, one year after signalling its intent to leave. The US previously funded about 20% of the WHO budget but has not paid dues for 2024 or 2025, leaving a $278 million debt. WHO says withdrawal isn’t complete until debts are paid.
