Where's the outrage?
Where's the media coverage?

When people speak of the ideas that revolutionise society, they do but express that fact that within the old society the elements of a new one have been created, and that the dissolution of the old ideas keeps even pace with the dissolution of the old conditions of existence.

"We are obliged to name the shooting of Terán for what it was: an extrajudicial execution, carried out by hired men armed with military assault weapons, paramilitary training, and qualified immunity from prosecution—in other words, a death squad in all but the name."

Police forces are massing outside the Weelaunee Forest just over an hour before the planned press conference by Manuel "Tortuguita" Teran's family.
Per resident reports, police are spread out along the forest perimeter, with workers arriving on the northern side.

Two years ago, the pandemic was raging and the economy was reeling.
But today, thanks to our economic plan, more Americans are working than ever before.

There are now 242 anti-LGBTQ introduced bills with at least 238 of these being anti-trans bills. That is more this year than in all of 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 COMBINED. This is a war on trans existence.

This is not the flex the College Board thinks it is. Its even worse for them to say they just got rid of Black feminism, abolition, the movt for Black Lives & Black queer studies on their own regardless of DeSantis. Big yikes & why whatever this course is, its not college ready.
Quote Tweet
Well, I really wish the @CollegeBoard had stepped forth with this detailed explanation of what DeSantis was critiquing and w/a strong statement of the Board’s process & independence when DeSantis initially made his remarks. Why allow DeSantis to poison public perception?Not good. twitter.com/thesundayshow/…

“It’s hard to believe we were all so scared of a virus that’s only killed millions of people and hasn’t been eradicated yet.”
1/Sharing some small research publications suggesting Sars2 may be causing subclinical organ damage in our children. Please note these R small pilot studies, results need confirming in larger trials & the Diabetes study is epidemiological so correlation doesn’t prove causation…

My colleagues and I at Barrett Honors College are embroiled in an escalating controversy involving this event. I'll explain some of it here, but the main point: we are being targeted by violent threats from the far right, & need solidarity from folks at ASU and beyond. 1/

time to stop segregating sports by gender at all. maybe by weight, or height , or some such, wd make sense
Quote Tweet
This policy as written is effectively a ban on trans women playing sports. No they cannot physically compete against cis men. Creating an “open division” for trans women and cis men” produces the same result as a ban on trans women from sport altogether. twitter.com/britathletics/…

Gee I wonder why our government, during a time of general unrest in which the costs of goods and basic needs like housing, healthcare, etc are increasingly unobtainable and expensive and in which police murders are at record highs have passed legislation demonizing socialism.

As the US House of Representatives votes to denounce “the horrors of socialism” in an overwhelming bipartisan majority, let us remember that the US voted *against* the UN resolution denouncing the glorification of Nazism and racism.

Errors are summarized in this thread.
TLDR: They claim the study found no significant difference for continuous N95 use for CRI, when the study found the opposite. They then reference the RR from the wrong arm of the study... 🤔🧐

Next, let's look at @AHS_media Scientific Advisory Group's Rapid Evidence Review on COVID-19 PPE Guidelines from Dec 2020.
This review heavily references the above Jefferson Systematic Review, but also summarizes the specifics in MacIntyre 2013.

If you understand that the police are not here to protect every day people, especially racialized and disabled folks, that capitalism is not beneficial to the working class, and that the climate crisis is an existential threat, you need to apply that understanding to COVID. 1/
