Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:
Every April, we celebrate Independent Bookstore Day to remind us how vital indie bookstores are to our communities and society. It’s a day of joy and solidarity, and significant financial impact for these bookstores.

This year, Amazon is undercutting that with a “Book Sale” on the same day—a calculated move by a company that has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controls over 60% of the market and sells far more books than all indie bookstores combined. The people at Amazon responsible for the timing of their "Book Sale" should be ashamed, but they are shameless.

Since January, 213 people have been detained at the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit. 90% of those abducted are there because they made a wrong turn and drove onto the bridge by accident. www.npr.org/2025/04/24/n...
A news conference on Thursday held by Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center and the ACLU of Michigan detailed findings about the bridge and a nearby CBP office space. Tlaib reported she was told that since January, 213 people have been detained at the bridge, including families with children. At least 90% of the detentions were people who made a wrong turn and drove onto the bridge by accident.

Biden handed them an economy that weathered COVID better than anyone else on the planet, one that was so primed for a boom this year that magazines like the Economist were writing glowing praise about it. This effort to pretend the opposite was true might work with the base, but not anyone normal.

The Bigger Picture: “Why Is Everybody Sick All the Time?” "It [COVID] killed more people in 4 years than AIDS did in 40. Excess deaths have surged from secondary effects of COVID, especially cardiovascular disease, liver disease, respiratory infections, and other causes" Source: archive.md/QyaKR
The Bigger Picture: “Why Is Everybody Sick All the Time?”

Type it into Google: “Why is everybody sick all the time?”

What do you get?

Vague speculation about “stress”
Hand-waving about “summer flu”
Conspiracy theories about “immunity debt” (from lockdowns that happened five years ago)
Wellness blogs selling fatigue supplements
What you don’t get is this:

COVID is not a respiratory illness, it’s a multi-system disease with some respiratory symptoms. Remember how HIV infection starts with a ‘flu’?
COVID is airborne, meaning the SARS-CoV-2 virus is expelled into the air passively, just by breathing, even in the absence of symptoms. It accumulates and spreads out in enclosed spaces. Like theatres. Hand washing won’t prevent its spread.
Rapid tests are as low as 30% accurate because our immune systems have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2, so don’t reach thresholds detectable until three days of being symptomatic, if at all. Molecular testing like PlusLife is more reliable.
It targets the endothelium, the cellular lining of blood vessels, a superhighway to the whole body.
The damage is cumulative. The virus persists in the body, continuing to cause damage. Infective SARS-CoV-2 has even been found in skull shavings in autopsies.

It is linked to spikes in rare and aggressive cancers, likely due to its oncogenic potential, including mechanisms that parallel HIV, HPV, and hepatitis C.
It causes long-term immune system damage, including T-cell exhaustion —akin to chronic HIV, but with broader systemic damage.
It killed more people in four years than AIDS did in forty. Excess deaths have surged from secondary effects of COVID, especially cardiovascular disease, liver disease, respiratory infections, and other causes.
It’s frightening enough to imagine that AIDS could happen again.

It’s more frightening to consider that it already has, and that it’s multi-system AIDS, but happening quietly, globally, and to everyone.
