All the Virginia house of delegates and State Senate seats are up in Virginia. Voting ends on Tuesday night. If republicans flip both chambers, Glenn Youngkin will have unchecked power.

🧵UNPOPULAR OPINION: Sometimes life destroys you and you don't have to find a reason or learn anything.
If you didn't already know, my youngest daughter was diagnosed with leukemia the week after her 4th birthday. After 2 1/2 years of chemo she is now 2 years cancer free.

Second-biggest owner of Twitter is executing a man for his tweets.
Silence from the owner of Twitter, who is a self-styled ‘free speech absolutist.’ Not even a “concerning”.
A Saudi court has sentenced a man to death based solely on his Twitter& YouTube activity.
Repression has reached a terrifying new stage when a court can hand down the death penalty for nothing more than tweets. Saudi authorities should quash the verdict.

The profound toll COVID-19 has had on heart health is only now starting to emerge. Doctors are grappling with how to help.
“We are seeing effects on the heart and the vascular system that really outnumber, unfortunately, effects on other organ systems.” apnews.com/article/covid19-l…
ugh
Disney & Universal are paying lobbyists to watch over legislation that would bar them from using a lucrative state tax break if AI is used to displace workers in their film & TV productions.

The continued emphasis on deaths is a political and media strategy to mask the *ongoing* mass disability being wrought by this virus.
Invisibilizing disability is part of the strategy to further marginalize BIPOC & LGBTQ, who are most at risk of illness/disability.
New data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor:
The number of people with a disability dramatically increased & hit a new record of 34 million in June 2023.
#LongCovid is a mass disabling event.

Please take 30 seconds to ask your members of congress to support the #TreatLongCOVIDAct!
3/4 of the U.S. population has had a #COVID infection, and 1 in 5 develop #LongCOVID. Tens of millions in the U.S. have #LongCOVID and there is no cure. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has found that 4 million in the U.S. are out of the workforce due to Long COVID. It is time to act to help improve #LongCOVID patient outcomes!
The Treat Long COVID Act focuses on creating and expanding *multidisciplinary* Long COVID clinics, and *provider education*! The #TreatLongCOVIDAct will provide funding to these facilities to offer better and more accessible care, and hopefully clinical trials. We cannot get help, without legislative support providing the funding, that will help create pilots to identify and create #LongCOVID assessment and care protocols (Long COVID Standards of Care) that can then be shared/ used nationally!
We need each and every one of you to reach out to your members of congress urging them to support the #TreatLongCOVIDAct, and it only takes 30 seconds! Members of congress and their offices cannot, and will not, act on matters they do not receive massive outreach about from their constituents. 1 letter, 5 letters- don't do it! They use a tally system, so we need 50-100+ reaching out to each and every member of congress, and the #TLCA has been introduced at both the house and senate levels! In 2-ish weeks, we will have everyone follow up, with a more personalized message.
This is an *ALL HANDS ON DECK* moment, and we need each other's support to move our community forward. Please take 30 seconds to complete this form, and another 30 seconds to share on other platforms/ groups, and with friends and family! Thank you.

Imagine if Secretary Blinken totally disappeared for a month and Biden wouldn’t talk about it and people wonder if he had cancer or something and then it’s just announced he’s gone. This is China. It is weird, and should’ve been bigger news but the world has normalized autocracy.

Hey just a reminder before this ridiculous website implodes-
Covid is SARS-CoV-2. Not a cold, SARS.
It’s a viral Trojan horse for vascular damage, brain damage, heart damage, and immunological deficiency. Vaccines are not enough yet. Wearing a mask until they are is wisdom.

#LongCovid is the fastest growing chronic illness on the planet with a quality of life often lower than metastatic cancer & similar to Parkinson’s — & there is no way to truly end the pandemic until we have treatments for long Covid.

BREAKING: Feds sue Abbott over drowning devices in Rio Grande.
Let’s keep up the pressure.
We want the buoys & netting removed, the razor wire under the water & on the banks removed and for DPS to respect Border Patrol authority.
Now, before more die. houstonchronicle.com/politic…
