Delta Air Lines will no longer allow its employees to wear pins representing any country besides the United States starting on Monday after two of its flights attendants were photographed wearing Palestinian flag pins.
what are they supposed to do, leave Chicago? just not work for a week?
working class people shouldnโt have to suffer IN THEIR OWN CITY because you all decided to have a superspreader event while you continue to cry crocodile tears online about how you care about others
The DNC was in Chicago. The Uber driver, waiter, & worker is well aware of COVID risk. Itโs an assumption to act as if they donโt & itโs irrational to place blame specifically on DNC attendees.
COVID doesnโt just spread at the DNC.
remember when you could get a PCR test for free within walking distance in most major cities in the US?
remember how Biden gutted that? one of the few tools we had?
because I do, and I know other disabled people do and will continue to remember in november.
#Suicide
is trending.
Thursday will be 4 years since my attempt.
Even with /everything/ going on, and how fucked up the world is on both macro and micro levels, Iโm so glad I wasnโt successful.
If youโre where I was back then please trust me when I say itโs worth sticking around
my parents are well off, in their 60โs, and white.
they both tested positive for COVID today.
they struggled to access Paxlovid.
if it was that difficult for them i shudder to think what itโs like for others.
tell me again how itโs available to all Americans Ashish.
The President tested positive for COVID today
As I wrote recently, we are in the middle of a typical summer wave
Given how much the President is on the road, meeting people, shaking hands, etc., this is no surprise
The good news is that he keeps up with his vaccines and is
directly to all the influencers iโm friends with who have stopped masking
please pick them back up, your actions have more impact than you think
and to those of you who are still in LA come out with me on Sunday, see how masking doesnโt impact our ability to have a great time!
if you haven't been masking now is the time to start
those of us who have to are at risk of having our rights stripped city by city, state by state
we need support and now more than ever you are not an ally to disabled people if you donโt mask
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass says she will work with the City Attorney to create a mask ban for protestors. This is absurd and must be pushed back against!
just saw one of my best friends from before the pandemic post about how they coughed so hard yesterday that they vomited, and then called it a cold
i swear people who are ignoring the ongoing pandemic will call /anything/ a cold at this point
seeing people talking about how masks and tests arenโt accessible and i feel like this needs to make the rounds again
i cannot stress how much growth has happened this year, if there wasnโt a mask bloc by you before it may be worth checking again
@ntandomatini_
thereโs footage of her trying to get the camera man to do something now. people need to be held accountable. RIP to those poor people, i canโt imagine dying that way.
announcing the return of free RATs, which barely work, in over a month while we are currently in one of the largest COVID waves to date is very USA Codedโข
Covid tests: U.S. will offer free at-home kits starting late September
Americans will soon be able to use to request four free tests, administration officials told reporters.
@hausofriya
thinking about how many people she could personally evacuate from Gaza without even noticing a difference in her net worth makes me feel like vomiting
@kemimarie
aries sun. getting really, really worked up over something and then being absolutely fine 30 minutes later once i let it all out๐ง๐ผ
the problem is i never know what things will be fine and what things will stick with me forever
nothing is more punk than wearing a mask to protect yourself the people around you while government systems tell you not to worry about it and focus on capital gains instead.
โ ๏ธ BREAKING
U.S. Daily COVID-19 Infections Reach 1 Million
Currently, 1 in every 33 people in the U.S. is infected with COVID-19, a staggering figure that marks a 74% increase over the average infection rates of the past year.
i swear to fucking god
I WAS A RUNNER
convincing the public that they are magically โจsafeโจ if they are healthy is getting people killed, or at the very least giving them long covid
i had a โhealthier lifestyleโ than most of this country and now iโm disabled
stop this rhetoric
No. We are absolutely NOT going to do this in year three of the pandemic. Thousands of Americans continue to die of Covid each week and countless become disabled, amid NO public health measures & a long-running Covid media blackout. Iโm not even going to link this trash.
growing up in a hyper nationalist state, and then choosing to refuse to do your mandatory service and go to prison instead is absolutely something to be praised.
i donโt believe for a second the majority of Americans would do this shit, this boy deserves our respect.
i understand this statement is from a teenager and i hope this is a first step. but im going crazy seeing this be applauded at all. is the bar really this low? we are seeing what is happening to palestinians in gaza and the west bank and this is what people are uplifting? as what
@halsey
honestly I think your tweet was pretty clear.
my family escaped a genocide, what is happening is absolutely ethnic cleansing and thank you for speaking on it.

Itโs actually a lot safer to send it to a P.O. box, the buyer can also contact the third party seller for your address. But I think you can set amazon lockers as addresses on wishlists now? Which is a free option if a P.O. box doesnโt work.

i grew up in this city and i donโt touch it but i carry test strips and narcan because i know half the people at the bars iโm at will be ๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ
watched ethel cain hurry off stage to vomit tonight
she was so sick she had to leave, be sick, and came back and finished the concert
we are not ok in how we treat illness /at all/
@nothing6777876
yes, Paris is awful
there is also a difference between sweeps and forced busing
both are inhumane and wrong, but they absolutely took it to another level to clear the city for the olympics
iโm old enough to remember the response to hurricane katrina
how fumbled it was, how poorly the government handled it
and yet watching whatโs going on right now iโm stuck thinking at least katrina got a response?? what the fuck is happening???
Novavax has worked to get their updated COVID vaccine completed as quickly as possible, and with any luck will be ready for a roll out before the school year starts
But thereโs concern about bureaucratic red tape so they donโt get a โmarket advantageโ
@x3r0gxx
i know some groups are straight up telling people not to show up without them which is incredible
and also with certain groups that are known for doxxing pro-Palestine protestors masking is smarter than ever for so many reasons so I think more activists may be catching on

@dcbobasa
as someone who is nonbinary, stop.
Ezra has been attacking people and is suspected of kidnapping, we arenโt going to protect them because theyโre part of the community. theyโre a predator.
while youโre here, help a disabled Palestinian whoโs trying to raise enough money to evacuate her family once the crossing reopens.
she hasnโt gotten a donation in 2 days!

most โdonated bodiesโ were stolen for the medical field in the 1800.
even ones that are actually โdonatedโ tend to be from lower castes in countries like India where they canโt afford to bury them. look into it, most bones in circulation are incredibly unethical.
@deolinne
@halsey
as white people we shouldnโt be centering ourselves in /any way/ right now.
if youโre feeling attacked, itโs your job to unpack that. but centering yourself in the conversation at all including like this isnโt ok.
DID YOU KNOW that if youโre disabled and on Medi-Cal you can have a box of produce delivered to your house once a week?
neither did i, i was very surprised and thought a delivery service messed up this afternoon.
check it out!
@ClaireMax
telling your story publicly was incredibly brave
Iโm so proud of you and I donโt doubt for a second being so vulnerable with your experience has probably already impacted quite a few lives ๐ค

@YesYoureRacist
itโs also what helped a lot of millennial college students afford to eat, it was a long running deal people depended on
so yeah, those same people who now struggle to make rent arenโt going to pay double for the same (usually mediocre) sandwich
trying to cancel a Palestinian while living as a settler on stolen Palestinian land during an โจactive genocideโจ of Palestinians is disgusting on a level i cannot even begin to articulate
meanwhile those of us who are disabled have been fully pushed out of society and when we ask for accommodations we are told to stay home
make it make fucking sense
the more recognizable faces we have in masks the harder it is to stigmatize them
showing allyship to the disabled community is wearing a mask (every day)
there is no reason to push the Novavax release other than trying to protect Pfizer and Modernaโs profits, which is obscene when you consider we could have a booster out before the school year begins
I need folks to help put a ton of pressure on the FDA.
Basically, Novavax is not like mRNA... while mRNA has a short protective window that cannot be stacked on previous vaccines...
Novavax can build on previous vaccination and does not have a short window in the same way.
if you think this doesnโt matter because you donโt give a fuck about SWers just know this has led to all the online censorship that everyone else has to deal with too
they come for us first
and it KOSA passes, which is basically SESTA/FOSTAโs child, you all are so fucked
Kamala singed SESTA/FOSTA into law and changed the ability of sex workers making money. Those law personally effected me + my pockets. I donโt give a fuck I will not be voting for her. She would rather let whores ***. I would rather the same for her
@amandalhu
hearing a voice announcing someone wasnโt wearing a mask caught me off guard but seeing how everyone was so chill and they just gave the guy a mask and he was so fine with putting it on, there is no reason we canโt just have masking be normal
weโre just completely ignoring the fact that a lot of high risk people have disabilities where they absolutely have to eat/drink regularly i guess
(also no one should be starving themselves, but the ableism in this argument is astounding)
I've seen the nexus of this conversation and I totally agree, it's a very tough situation, but you gotta start adjusting. Like one big meal in the beginning of the day or something. Especially for women who can't walk out to their cars in the middle of the night at a hospital.

Itโs a movement made for a specific group of people. It doesnโt mean Vanessaโs death means any less or is any less horrific, but co-opting a hashtag still isnโt ok.
And trying to argue with Black women about a hashtag made by them for them does not make you an ally.
My ex husband was an actual army captain. He proposed to me while dressed as Captain America on the marvel stage at SDCC (I was a USO girl).
He abused me for the entirety of our relationship and eventually got kicked out of the army for conduct unbecoming of an officer. ๐งต
