I just don't get it 🤔 I've been offered a Free Flu Vaccination on the NHS - URGENTLY. I.e. within 4 days of receiving the email. Because I am judged as being at high risk from the Flu. But the SARS virus that gave me blood clots, a Pulmonary Embolism AND Long Covid isn't as much of a threat to me?

And everyone remember if you are told you’re ineligible, ask for a provisional ballot. And take a picture of it so you have the bar code on it.

The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

CDC sent me the 2025 NHIS data this week, and one number stuck with me. 8.7 million American adults were living with Long COVID in 2025. That's 1 in 30 of us. It's easy to stop seeing a crisis once it stops being new. It's still happening. www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhis/do...

Another thing about fraternities is that the hazing rituals where slightly older young men would physically, mentally emotionally and sometimes even sexually abuse slightly younger young men have always disturbed and upset me greatly. And it’s really telling that I’ve seen men defend those too

Stop calling people who wear masks and take Covid precautions the “forever covid” crowd. We’re literally the only ones trying to eliminate the virus. It’s not gone. It’s not over. It’s still disabling. People who deny this reality are the “forever COVID” crowd.

Countless immigrants have reported appalling conditions in the ICE camps. Especially if they’re disabled and/or chronically ill. Denying a diabetic their insulin is torture. It’s cruel and unusual punishment. It’s murder by neglect.

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

Looks like US-made textiles and clothing have gotten more expensive since Trump imposed tariffs in April 2025.

A graph from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the price of US-made textile products and apparel since July of 2022. The prices held mostly steady until May of 2025, at which point they've gone up about 7%.
