Dear Romance Readers: I don’t list Bluesky on my website or anywhere else, and that’s because I’m unmasked here—and by that I don’t mean I’ve stopped wearing N95 masks in public. 😷 What I mean... (1/3)

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Entering year 7
In the 12th wave.
Disability is accumulating because infection is accumulating.
You can pretend it’s over.
The labor force, healthcare system, and your brain do not agree.

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:
He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.
C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

having #LongCovid means telling people “I’m not feeling well” like every other day. I’ve just stopped saying it. I can’t figure out what else to say.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives passed a bill that would criminalize gender-affirming care for transgender youth under 18 and put doctors in prison for providing this care.
This bill is an unjustifiable threat to the well-being of trans youth and their families. The Senate must reject it.

I am convinced in the future we will look back and realise the sheer unimaginable folly of letting a virus that can cause immune dysregulation and cognitive dysfunction in humans infect and re-infect the global population over and over again. Worse still, that we encouraged it.

Too many people think the issue is "ai look bad" not the stolen data sets not the workers rights not the climate change and the fact that people CANNOT AFFORD TO TURN ON THEIR HEAT because they're subsidizing data centers, let alone the misinformation and fascism

Some dude just told me that if a woman were president we’d be at war once a month …so far we’ve only had men presidents and the US has been at war 225 out of 243 years since 1776 🤨

This whole thread…terrible.
Without extension of the healthcare tax credit at least 4.5M Americans will lose healthcare coverage in 2026! I am here to tell you that your local emergency room CANNOT absorb the primary care for these individuals. This ⬆️ burden on hospitals will affect healthcare for everyone even the insured!.

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”.
NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC.
ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr.
Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.
