6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

So, we really let it rip in, what, 2022?
In three years, Long Covid has surpassed asthma as the most common paediatric chronic illness.
Three. Years.
Where are we in 10 years? How is this sustainable? We have barely begun to see the long term effects of the pandemic.

Cops are great
Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows
The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

Let me qualify what Josh is saying. It is quite clear that the Constitution requires a census of all persons. It’s quite clear that past Supreme Court cases support this proposition. (For instance, the recent census question case makes no sense if persons doesn’t include immigrants.)

Let me expand on this point. The Constitution is quite clear that you can't distinguish between kinds of persons in running the Census. And that is especially about apportionment for Congress. The original language makes it pretty clear when it talks about "free persons". But the 14th amendment ...
As Wessel states, now bulldozing the Census. It's critical to note that not counting people "in our Country illegally" violates the constitution. It doesn't speak of citizens or legal status, simply "the whole number of free persons".

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.
She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.
But the FDA recently denied its approval.
Now, her health hangs in the balance.
Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

This five-alarm dictator move - seizing a private university - was always coming. Trump and his backers want to dictate what can be taught, both K-12 and university. This account has warned of it for years on Twitter. People needed to prepare. Instead Columbia chose wrong, and now it's happening. 1/

the fact that we have "serious" convos about whether billionaires are okay suggests public consciousness that is totally divorced from the 1) actual scale of private wealth accumulation 2) its political implications. helpful data visualization:
