I hadn’t seen this stat before. A study that followed pregnant women after testing positive for SARS2 found that 76% of them developed long covid.

I could do this all day and still never cover all the dramatic risks.
This might be significant. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article… Infants born to mothers who had covid during gestation had smaller lungs right out the gate...

My actual professor of critical race theory in law school said “John Brown was white, what do you have to be ashamed of personally unless you identify more with the enslavers than with John Brown?”
A teacher in South Carolina was reported by her students for teaching Ta-Nehisi Coates’s “Between the World and Me.” The students explained that the book made them ashamed to be White, violating a clause forbidding teachers from making students “feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress” on race wapo.st/45SQq7V

I just find it incredibly ironic that much like the concept of global warming, we’ve known about— and have been researching with actual measurements— the science behind indoor air quality for over 200 years. And yet here we are 2023, pretending like we don’t know how it works.

Did religious conservative billionaires spend millions corrupting their hand-picked Supreme Court judges? Yes, but I think it's important to remember that they did it because they wanted to profit by exploiting and killing billions of humans. Also Jesus forgave them, they say.

Over 3 years, and yet we are still telling people to wash their hands to prevent an AIRBORNE VIRUS. We need respirators, we need clean air, and we need fkn common sense and logic.
There's an uptick in #COVID19 cases in Los Angeles County. Get tested if you have symptoms such as fatigue, muscle aches and fever. Staying home if your are sick and washing your hands frequently will help keep you and others safe.

Any person who votes for any Republican has told themselves a story to make themselves comfortable about backing the most horrible creepy fucking weirdos in the country, who lie with every breath and action, and who believe in nothing but bullying meanness and greedy corruption.

“More than three years later, I still have #LongCovid. I still give my best hours to my children.” “I yearn for.. my old life. I miss my friends and family who have moved on.” “The truth is however immortal we feel, we are all just one infection away from a new life.”

Right-wing think tanks have written a 920 page plan, which begins day one of a Republican presidency, to dismantle most of the federal government’s work on climate. Make no mistake: this is a battle plan. The war being waged is against our children's future. Elections matter!

Meanwhile, testing isn’t accessible or affordable for the vast majority of Americans.
