The progression from “we need to wear masks” ➡️ “only vulnerable people need to wear masks” ➡️ “vulnerable people can isolate” ➡️ “vulnerable people shouldn’t be in public as they’re vulnerable so anyone who wears a mask is a criminal” should be alarming to anyone against fascism

Everyone should be shouting from the rooftops demanding the release of Mahmoud Khalil. No one is safe in a nation where you can be disappeared for protesting. It won't end with immigrants on green cards. This is a system test. Soon enough, they'll find a way to come for you too.

With the Trump admin deleting critical data from health agency websites, there are many independent efforts to archive the data. @maggiekb1 is putting together a guide to help locate where all the data is being backed up. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

“I was in denial about it.. I knew that if I did have #LongCovid, that I probably couldn’t afford to get it again, and if I couldn’t afford to get it again, then everything in my life would have to change. Breaking out of that denial was the first step.” theguardian.com/wellness/ng-…

When you wear an N95 to an organizing event you are sending a signal to high risk people that: 1. I care about you 2. I understand that public health has been made into a tool of propaganda 3. I will keep you safe, even if Im not worried for myself 4. I am willing to listen 1/3

Bookmark this and practice. It only takes a few minutes and with practice your body will get into a tremor quicker. Animals naturally shake after stressful and traumatic events—it helps them discharge sympathetic energy and return to a parasympathetic state. We humans need this, too. But no one teaches us how to self soothe. It’s on us to help our body release the stress from our bodies. The more we release it, the more our body registers: ok I’m safe. The more confident we become knowing we can restore our own bodies. You might yawn or cry— let yourself. Share with anyone on a healing journey #selfhealers
