i was 24 working on my portfolio to apply to grad school when C19 disabled me and triggered the symptomatic phase of a genetic disorder. i’ve lost friends, family, my writing community, and my capacity to work a normal job. at times i can’t use my arms or walk/stand well.
COVID is the main driver in the increase of unemployment. I was 21, starting my career in aerospace engineering, when I was infected by COVID-19 - that ended immediately. I am now 25 and still unable to work a normal job. I am 1 in millions with this exact story.

The shamelessness of the Board of Deputies to call Elbit Systems, an Israeli weapons company, a "Jewish-owned business", like it's your local bakery or kosher butcher.
The Board of Deputies of British Jews welcomes today’s decision by the Court of Appeal to uphold the Government's proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist group.

Can I just say, on top of covid being around still, we are watching multiple genocides. Also, climate catastrophe is actively underway AND those genocides are making it worse. Fascism is rising quickly. People are being kidnapped & murdered in the streets.
COVID-19 might have been 6 years ago, but it affected us deeply. Nobody remained the same. Time feels faster. The energy feels different.People are colder & more detached. Careers paused, some lost their identity. some are still stuck. The world we knew never really returned.

A 36-year-old man from Texas flew to Bogotá, Colombia and allegedly sexually abused a 7-year-old boy on a balcony in broad daylight. Neighbors heard the screams. They filmed. They called police. Because of them, three children ages 4, 7, and 15 are now safe. Sources indicate he may have adopted all three of those children. Let that sink in. This is not an isolated incident. Colombia has already turned away 100 foreigners for sex tourism in just the first half of 2026. American passports are being used to exploit the most vulnerable children in the world. Colombia’s president is now calling for visas to stop predators from entering the country. 🎥: @cbsnews / @lilialuciano

so much sympathy for today's kids. every aspect of their lives has been impoverished, there are no spaces for them, everything is prohibitively expensive, the planet is dying, they're being repeatedly infected, and the solution is apparently to further isolate them digitally.

I always wondered what it was like for scientists trying to pull the curtain down to expose AIDS or that tobacco causes cancer. This is it. We’re living in truly wild times.

Wait, so the MPs largely voted against it and yet its still being implemented? The fuck is the point in voting at this point
Replying to @elliereeves
If it was so important for you, how come you didn't vote in favour of it in March? Only John McDonnell out of your 400 MPs voted in favour. You are a hypocrite, just like all the rest.

Mamdani closed a $12B deficit in 132 days, fixed 100K potholes, secured millions for gig workers, fined corrupt landlords millions, raised snow workers to $30/hr, and violent crime hit historic lows. THIS IS WHAT A LEADER DOES!!

FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey. His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive. A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it. 20 officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex. And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child. No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing. The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage. Like it never happened. If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel? Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.

🇸🇩 NEW: Former U.S. genocide-prevention official Cameron Hudson warned that the world is once again standing by as the Rapid Support Forces prepares to besiege another Sudanese city, with fighters massing around El Obeid. Hudson, who previously led the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s genocide-prevention center and served as chief of staff to U.S. special envoys during the Darfur genocide, wrote: “Another perfect example of the international community sitting idly by as the RSF prepares to lay siege to yet another Sudanese city and does nothing to actively prevent it. They will be quick to express their outrage after the killing ends but not before.” The warning comes as the RSF gathers forces near El Obeid, raising fears of a repeat of El Fasher, where the group carried out atrocities that the U.N. has said amount to genocide, including mass killings of up to 150,000 civilians (Yale estimate), and widespread rapes and sexual violence against women and children.

The US tried to destroy this team. It put them in the worst situation, refusing visas, making them travel the day before every game. But the US failed and Iran won. They just scored the only goal I really care about - during the first & therefore hardest game. I’m dying 😭

Hasan Piker predicts Israel will violate the ceasefire after France and U.K. deploy vessels to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, to force Iran to respond and drag European nations into the war "It's over, it's a trap. Israel will try to maximize the impact right as the de-mining operation is taking place. For Israel, their goal is to collapse negotiations. They want to create, by force, a coalition of the willing."

Today the EU had a choice on Israel, and it chose nothing. No sanctions on Ben-Gvir. No ban on settlement goods. No suspension of the trade deal. The same day, a leaked document revealed the EU has known since 2017 that it could lawfully do all of this. So this is not a story about what Europe cannot do. It is a story about what it refuses to do, and how it hides the refusal. 🧵 ↳ Reuters : “no consensus” on Ben-Gvir (today): usnews.com/news/world/articl…
