On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, remember: the violence never stopped. Colonization just changed its form, from stolen land to stolen children, erased histories, and borders that criminalize the very people this land belongs to. We are still witnessing the same injustice.

@SecKennedy our community is dying from #LongCOVID. While its disabling impacts have fractured our national infrastructure, the deaths associated with Long COVID are far under represented & largely ignored. We need urgent leadership & action. We need solutions. We need to educate

The cost of #LongCOVID This is ONLY March - present of this year. Prior, Jan-Feb I paid $2,000+. My SSD is ~$1,400/mo. I have Medicare. I currently owe over $8,000. This is not sustainable with living. I am one of tens of millions with Long COVID.

This is absolutely horrible news. Let’s bring the prey on vulnerable patients desperate for their lives back who will do anything, even pay their life savings, sell their homes, etc crowd to lead Long COVID research. Think supplement peddlers meets meets Fl surgeon general, meets cure offerer.

As school starts tomorrow for parts of Florida, this is a reminder, that when schools start back up after summer, winter, and spring break, transmission & cases take off. While you should ALWAYS protect yourself against COVID+, take the extra precautions the first few weeks. ⬇️

@massgenbrigham.bsky.social you are failing the very patients you took an oath to protect. People should not have to become chronically ill, disabled, or die because of your lax & negligent policies. Masking saves lives in more ways than one & prevents the systemic consequences. Do better!
