Health insurance companies make their money by charging us for coverage then denying us care.

The top 6 companies reported $47 billion in profit last year.

We need universal healthcare with Medicare for All, not tips on how to stop insurance companies from stealing from us.

All these debates about why students are absent. Just ASK them. My students have reported that theyre: frequently sick, unendingly burnt out, they worry their degree won't lead to a job they can even bear, and late-stage capitlism is destroying their hopes for eco stability 1/2

lsraelis are fleeing the country. Imagine if all the borders were shut and they were told to go north. No, south. No, north. No, south. By foot. Carrying all their belongings. Carrying their children. While dodging snipers. As 2000lb bunker bombs were dropping. For 6 months.

I had thought many parents would do almost anything to promote their child's academic development—Mozart in the womb, banning social media, cram classes. Not on my bingo card was parents ignoring their kids being repeatedly infected by a virus that can invade brains.

A colony of 390 breeding Caspian Terns reduced to one sole pair in two weeks, and that one may not have survived either.
It's an extinction level event.
You humans have done it to us, and it'll be your turn soon.

Maybe we should quit spending trillions on war and police until everyone has clean water, housing, and food.

New York Times’ Zeynep Tufecki, anti-vax life coach Allison Krug, abusive art dealer Eli Klein, and anti-vax podcaster “ZDogg” all championed COVID-19 reinfections as mild, normal, and harmless.

None have apologized for getting this claim 100% wrong.

Masks in healthcare settings is a bare minimum. This isn’t fucking rocket science.

If social media really is bad for kids' mental health, I suspect that this is less due to social media shaping their reality, and more to do with social media revealing their reality, in all its capricious cruelty

Do people realize that the retina is actually brain tissue, a piece of the central nervous system in a peripheric location?

In the already confirmed olfactory path, #SARSCoV2 has to open some doors to reach the brain. The retina is a door open all the way.

My view of Covid-19 and its dangers is not the result of special information, available only to me. It is not that I know 'more' than other people, it is merely that I choose to acknowledge the grim truth that can be easily seen all around me, while most people choose to deny it.

Number of Journalists killed in wars:

Vietnam War: 63 journalists in 20 years
World War II: 67 journalists in 7 years
Gaza: 140 journalists in 6 months

This violates Article 79 of Additional Protocol (I) Geneva Conventions, but international law clearly does not apply to Israel

‘This war broke all the superlatives with the highest number of children killed, aid workers, journalists and medical teams + unprecedented attacks & destruction of hospitals & United Nations buildings in blatant disregard of International Humanitarian Law’ United NationsLazzarini

They won't give you healthcare, but the Democrats will happily send a couple thousand 2000 lb bombs to a nation engaged in ethnic cleansing. And they think you still owe them your vote.

“Why that language?”
Language ideologies go deep.
Destructive policies, discriminatory laws, and violence affect how we think about, 'value', and 'use' minoritized languages.
Addressing deficit ideologies transmitted by colonialingualism is vital for equitable multilingualism.

Julia Marie The NYT just making shit up like “families have changed their relationship to school….” Sorry, wut? Idk a single family who doesn’t require their kids to go to school because the vibes are just off??? That article was an embarrassing look for the NYT but not surprising.. 😬

ICYMI: After normalizing neverending COVID reinfections, NYTimes and other outlets explain away record student absences with bizarre, fact-free theories that blame individual parents instead of the political destruction of public health

It's not a 'war'. A war doesn't involve conversations about whether or not a walled-in population should be allowed to have food, medicine and electricity. If you have that much control over a population, you can't be at war with it. You're just killing a bunch of prisoners.
