BREAKING: Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have cast decisive votes against Biden's NLRB nominee. This means the Democrats will not secure control of the national labor regulator through 2026. These two Senators effectively handed Trump control of the board when his term begins.

Thinking today about Jessica Sunderland, who won her civil rights case against a jail for denying her hormones, forcing her to detransition while incarcerated a decade ago. I met her and wrote about her case for @theappeal.org in December 2018:
In ‘Amazing’ Verdict, Jury Awards Transgender Woman Punitive Damages Against Suffolk County Jail
The landmark decision could help other transgender people in jails and prisons who have been denied access to hormone treatment, a violation of their constitutional rights.

BREAKING 🇪🇸🇵🇸 The US has threatened to sanction Spain for banning ships carrying weapons for Israel from stopping at its ports. The PI and the Palestinian Youth Movement denounce the criminalization of solidarity with Palestine — and the flagrant violation of Spain's sovereignty.

Amnesty International this week confirmed what many others have already said: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. But the report goes to many lengths to prove one critical element in the case against Israel: that the genocide is fully intentional.

My primary care doctor in the US told me that every doctor in the practice has long COVID from the summer strain that I caught in 2024.

They are all masked and I haven’t been there for years because I didn’t want to get infected in the waiting room.

I was there because I’ve got long COVID too.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

You have one body and twenty-four hours in a day. An organizer asks what you’ll do with them, concretely, now. You may not like your own answer.

If you have the financial ability, please donate so the fund can ensure any comrades who are arrested in support of a free Palestine will be able to get out of jail. Raising bail funds is also class solidarity, as it makes participating in actions more accessible to poor and working class people.

Today is #LongCOVIDAwarenessDay. There have been protests held in the US, UK, Australia, France, & around the world.

Long COVID is a public health crisis that is killing people, preventing people from working, & excluding people from society.

Nearly every detail in the front-page NYT report on systemic rape as a weapon of war by Hamas on Oct. 7 is questionable. It was used to justify mass violence against people and children who were not even accused of rape, by people who never care about rape otherwise. theintercept.com/2024/02/28/n...

Many in the entertainment industry understand that COVID is not over, and take many precautions because getting sick themselves would cost them a lot of money. Yet they promote an image that acts like COVID is over to their followers, because they profit from it.

We have quickly gone from normalizing mass infection and mass death from COVID to normalizing mass infection of other diseases like measles. This shows how closely all public health is connected, and how dangerous it is to downplay the spread of any disease.
