Using recirculate mode on my car's ventilation system dramatically lowered the PM2.5 levels inside. Try it out if you're starting to feel that burning/choking feeling.

- Set up HEPA filters indoors. Most home heating/HVAC systems should have filters, if you don't, then get a standalone filter sized to the rooms in your home. If you're feeling short of breath, are wheezing, feel winded, can't catch your breath... get indoors to cleaner air, and call 911.

- Wear an N95 mask if you plan to spend a lot of time outdoors. Even a surgical mask will help a little bit - Check on vulnerable people in your family and community

The harder you work, the more pollution you inhale, the worse you'll feel. - Check the AQHI before going out. If its high, better to stay indoors. - If you have asthma or COPD, keep your inhalers handy. The soot from the fires will trigger these conditions and could lead to an emergency

Many of you in the US Northeast and Central Canada are waking up to the worst air quality in the world (from wildfires). Here is some advice to get through the next few days: - Avoid running, cycling, outdoor sports and strenuous yard work while the air is bad.

MSM clueing into to the fact that viruses have chronic impacts. “Officials in ‘23 declared an end to the COVID pandemic. 2 years later, a growing body of research continues to reveal info about the virus’s ability to cause harm long after initial infections resolve, even in some w/ mild symptoms.”

Studies offer insights into the health risks and burdens faced by people who have had COVID infections. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has narrowed COVID vaccine recommendations and cut research.

Minneapolis Proved Something MAGA Can’t Accept: Most People Are Actually Virtuous

There's a line buried in Adam Serwer's recent Atlantic piece on the Minneapolis resistance to ICE that deserves to be pulled out, examined, and posted on every lamppost in America: The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. Read that again. It explains so much. Serwer continues:

Ran into a paediatric colleague the other day and we were both stunned by how few cases of RSV that were admitted this winter season. This is a bug that used to fill wards with infants struggling to breathe, all thanks to the new RSV vaccine. Don't let charlatans take these miracles away from you.

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

jaderemedy • 4h ago
And now comes the most nauseating part of this whole goddamn mess: the hypocrisy. The same loud-mouthed idiots who spent years screaming about tyranny are suddenly dead fucking silent, or worse, cheering, now that it's their side doing it. "ThEy'Re cOminG fOr OuR gUnS!" "GoVerNMenT oVerReAch!" "ShAll nOt bE inFrinGeD!" All that chest-thumping bullshit evaporated the second armed federal agents started terrorizing people they don't like.
Let me get this straight: a civilian gets shot dead by federal agents, and the only thing you brainless cunts can muster is
"well, DHS says he had a gun"? THAT'S your red line? Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all. Fucking pick one and own it.
This is exactly what tyranny looks like, by the way. Not jackboots marching in formation, but armed agents roaming neighborhoods, stopping people, killing civilians, and then daring the public to question it. Tyranny is execution followed by a press release. Tyranny is labeling the dead a "threat" so the state doesn't have to explain why someone's life just ended in the street. Tyranny is demanding obedience while shredding due process and calling it order.
And all you so-called "freedom lovers" are fucking fine with it, as long as it's brown people, immigrants, protesters, or anyone you've already dehumanized. Turns out "don't tread on me" actually meant "tread on them." You weren't afraid of tyranny.
You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely.
"Just comply" isn't a principle. It's cowardice dressed up as common sense. It's the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't. And once you make that deal, don't act shocked when the line moves, because it always fuckin…
