Fauci says they didn’t know about Long Covid? I was diagnosed with it in November 2020!! I was told I couldn’t exercise. The ICD code came out the next summer. WTF is he lying about??

Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill protecting trans kids in custody disputes that was passed overwhelmingly by the legislature. This is a stunning betrayal of trans people in the state.

Japan's COVID mitigation messaging centering "3 Cs" (CLOSED SPACES, CROWDED PLACES, and CLOSE-CONTACT SETTINGS) really needs to be used more. I'm so tired of people being surprised they're sick after being barefaced in a crowd of 100+, literally shoulder-to-shoulder each other.

I've been. Twice. It was lovely. But to get there, we had to wait the entire day at a crossing where Israeli guards called my family the n word and didn't allow me, a 6 year-old, to use the bathroom. My mom and auntie had to cover me while I pee'd outside and soldiers watched.

It turns out the British government gave more than 2.3 million vulnerable and older people a covid vaccine that isn’t matched to the currently dominant covid strains. And they did it to use up old stock and save money🧵

A released Palestinian prisoner says in Arabic that Israel held them in the cold w/o electricity, "sprayed us w/ pepper spray" & "left us to die." She never mentioned Hamas or a word like it. Yet BBC translated to: "No one helped us. Only Hamas cared...We love them very much."
