This is a well-produced segment. I encourage you to watch so you can hear the noise for yourself. The professor of environmental health science that they interviewed called it an “unprecedented new noise source.”

And pair these again with the headlines in my previous post about peak COVID 2020-2022. We squandered the opportunity to meet the contingencies of COVID with creative approaches to learning, rushed back to business-as-usual, and fell ass-first into the climate crisis.
Nick CovingtonInteresting #pairedtexts on impact of climate crisis on business-as-usual schooling, 2026/2024:
“This renewed incarnation of ACT UP [Chicago] focuses on three advocacy and protest tentpoles: attacks on HIV/AIDS funding, the domestic trans genocide and the ongoing and unmitigated COVID pandemic.” We do so love to see it 🫡
it is actually so impressive tho that i still feel that somatic discomfort this day every year… it’s that buzzy static social media unreality feelin that’s so hard to conceptualize til it happens to you. i always care to mark this anniversary more eloquently but instead it just scrambles my thoughts
babs ✨holy fuck i forgot it was the anniversary of the white coat summit honestly probably a green flag but also explains the uneasy feeling in my bod all day 😮💨
The anti-vax group formerly led by Robert Kennedy Jr. has been promoting the story of a woman who says vaccines killed her 18-month-old twins. She’s the lead plaintiff in the group’s lawsuit against the American Academy of Pediatrics. Well, now she’s been charged with suffocating the toddlers.
For Americans with Disabilities Act anniversary, sharing this interview I did with ADA's primary author Tony Coelho last year at @motherjones.com. He shared the importance of bipartisanship in getting it across the line. Something that seems impossible now. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

babs ✨Listen: they make it difficult if not impossible to mitigate the pandemic they refuse to address, which disables you. You can’t work&lose yr job, thus your insurance, so can’t afford the medical help you desperately need. You wrack up credit&medical debt trying, until you cant afford your home—then?
i wish i could think of today as any other day and maybe if we, as a society, cared about disabled people, it would be, but instead i just get to reflect on how many failures have these charlatans and their ilk to keep impacting—if not acting in leadership roles upon—our lives to to this very day 🫠
babs ✨Without the CNP & their leverage of virality, there’d likely be no America’s Frontline Doctors; the plastic seeds of this astroturf’d extremist group were sown in a short few months before the hyperviral White Coat Summit where they hawked HCQ on the Supreme Court steps.
LA Dodgers owner Mark Walters had a very good reason to corral the players into a WH visit. His company is under investigation by the DOJ & SEC. Private credit, billions in undisclosed loans transferred from his investment firms to his insurance firms. Gift link: www.wsj.com/finance/regu...
