Mother of child with ME/CFS; trying to create a life for him while waiting for answers from medical research. My oldest is a wildland firefighter. I post primarily about public health, ME/CFS, Long Covid, and wildland firefighting.
While China invests in its people and infrastructure, the US wastes taxpayer dollars on steak and crab. Neither party ever wants to address the Pentagon’s out of control budget. They just vote to increase it every year.

I'll have a livestream to discuss early indications on Tuesday (Mar 10 at 3pm PT) and then likely also a new Weather West post later this week. Stay tuned...
We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7
Images verified by Human Rights Watch show Israel fired white phosphorus in populated areas of southern Lebanon.
Drains across the Iranian capital Tehran are continuing to explode after earlier Israeli and US strikes on oil depots and infrastructure.
Medical experts are warning the toxic smoke and runoff has increased the risk of deadly illnesses, including cancer.
Steve Pearce is unfit to lead the BLM. By advancing his nomination, Senate Republicans chose oil & gas interests over the public lands veterans rely on for health and livelihoods.
Veterans will remember this betrayal.
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

First time I’m happy about Big Pharma’s lobbying power.
Hey, great news gang! Vinay Prasad is out at the FDA.
Again.
Let’s hope it sticks this time.
I’ve started watching Daniel Davis. Love independent media. You learn so much more.
Looking forward to part 2. Part 1 was really interesting.
As Rep. Jayapal says, our reporting has found that these aren’t isolated incidents. Last October, we tallied more than 170 cases of U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents.
Here’s that investigation she’s referring to:
Yesterday, Texas Latino voters showed up and showed OUT. In five Rio Grande Valley counties, more people voted in the Democratic primary than voted for Kamala Harris in '24
That’s not a coincidence; that’s a community that’s had enough of the raids, the tariffs, and the chaos. November is coming. 🔥
A large immigration detention camp in Texas has been closed to visitors and attorneys due to a measles outbreak, a lawmaker said.
We already went through this shit in Iraq. You don’t fund the GOPs dumb as fuck wars. Period. This isn’t hard. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

“The agency is seeking to increase its sustained yield timber harvest to around 1 billion board feet annually, an amount matching levels prior to conservation restrictions in the 1990s.”
This is why Democrats lose. If Trump needs $ for his war, Schumer and Jeffries should only allow it to be diverted from the ICE budget.
An illustration from Long COVID Transformed My Mommy shows two kids in bed with their mother. She wraps them both up in a hug.
An illustration from Long COVID Transformed My Sister Into a Turtle shows a turtle wearing sunglasses and headphones. The text reads, "My mommy is like a turtle that doesn't want to come out of her shell. She avoids loud noises and bright lights. She prefers cozy, quiet places."
We haven’t seen many narratives about — or for — kids whose family members have #LongCOVID. Author and educator Sara Robitaille seeks to change that with her two new children’s books, Long COVID Transformed My Mommy and Long COVID Transformed My Sister into a Turtle. bit.ly/4csWXfE
There are over 3,800 children locked up in ICE concentration camps (calling it what they are).
Here are children who passed while in ICE custody. May they rest in peace.
Kristi Noem must be held accountable before this number grows exponentially.

By the way, Democrats have now flipped 27 legislative seats in Trump 2.0.
Republicans are still stuck at zero.
Even in 2017-18, the GOP managed to flip a few. This time, just a goose egg, despite several good chances.
These NOFO delays have created so many gaps in longstanding programs, including programs that are congressionally mandated.

WTF?
I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Administration about the war in Iran.
I was worried before, but I’m more worried now.
