The Sitcom (about a Disabled Muslim Woman) that Could Have Been Comedian Maysoon Zayid had a deal to develop a sitcom for ABC. The deal made headlines, but the show never aired. She tells all about the bigotry behind the scenes.

NEW ARTICLE: Comedian Maysoon Zayid had a deal with ABC to produce a TV sitcom inspired by her life, as a Muslim woman with cerebral palsy.

Why was that show never released? Maysoon gives me the inside story. (Hint: bigotry)

If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken

Sama’a and Julia standing in the rubble of their home after Israel’s bombardment. Julia is in the front, holding onto a large gray fallen pole of some sort, wearing a pink puffy coat, denim pants and blue sneakers. Sama’a, her mother, is about six feet back, wearing an oversized white shirt with Mickey Mouse on the front, with a black hooded shirt underneath that is pulled over her head, a black open zip up jacket, and jeans. She is holding up her hands in a peace sign.

My children don’t understand why their home has turned into rubble, or why they sleep among broken glass and dust.

This photo isn’t just a passing moment…it is our daily reality.

We desperately need your support to secure safe shelter.

Does the COVID-19 Vaccination Reduce the Risk to Transmit SARS-CoV-2 to Others? - PubMed It has been assumed that the COVID-19 vaccination reduces the risk of transmission to others. Results during the delta predominance show that the viral load in the vaccinated population is not consistently lower compared to the unvaccinated, and during the omicron predominance, the viral load was ev …

"Overall, there is no convincing evidence that the COVID-19 vaccination significantly reduces the risk to transmit SARS-CoV-2 to others."

I'm too sick from 6+ years of long COVID to do a lit review, but this article has 86 references.

lol. You can stay β€œworried about the information environment.” As someone who’s been homebound for over a year now due to COVID I’ve been very very worried about the information environment you and others continue to go out of your way to cultivate discouraging others from mitigating COVID.

This is definitely NOT anti-vax. Harsh reality that so many refuse to see or acknowledge because β€œvax & relax” was sold to us by all levels of Govt & PH. They lied! The long tail of the pandemic continues. Vaccines are good but not perfect.

Im a historian of vaccination with a MS in public health
this is most certainly not "explicitly anti-vaxx" and its actually insulting to people still worried about long COVID to frame them as equivalent to the real anti-vaccination people in power/charge now.

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.
