> covid shares significant parallels with HIV, (depletes immune system, but while HIV targets t cells, covid can target most cells in the human body and while hiv targets nuclei, covid targets mitochondria) but with the additional trait of being airborne

> can affect virtually every system/organ of the body, including heart/lungs and brain (even with a mild case) and is also cancer causing/accelerant

> has a viral persistance (how long it remains in the body) of at least a year throughout the body, including the brain, even after death .

> multiple infections may happen yearly since there are little to no precautions, meaning not enough time or treatment is given to clear viral load. also means that it is being allowed to consistently evolve.

> disability rates in the US have jumped by 40% since 2020

> can literally cause a new form of AIDS

> virtually all precautions have been dropped since 2022, peak infection rates (according to wastewater data) were in jan 2022

> risk of long covid/damage from covid compounds with each infection

> over half of all covid infections are asymptomatic, most people will not know how many infections they've had because cheap/free consistent testing is not widely available

> treatment often expensive/doctors do not take long covid seriously and/or are uneducation on it and its treatment, meaning most will go without treatment that acknowledges the root cause

> if left untreated, HIV will nearly always progress to AIDS , and chronic HIV usually progresses to AIDS in 5-10 years (may be faster in some people)

it's been 5 years since it's onset in late 2019/early 2020, and 3 years since 2022. it's becoming more and more apparent that more and more people are unwell and i am genuinely terrified at what the very near future will look like, especially when the overwhelming culture is still so resistent to acknowledging covid.

while the spineless democrat jokes are funny, it's worth acknowledging these people don't actually have some sort of personality flaw preventing them from taking action but rather that they see themselves benefiting more when not taking action. as long as they're still holding office, they can afford to ignore concerns of their voter base (especially with the whole "vote blue no matter who" attitude persisting).

on the surface the trump administration may seem detrimental to "world order", but in reality it's more of a gloves-off look at long existing problems with US hegemony, and the fact that many respected leaders are using a cost-benefit analysis when it comes to giving a fuck about anyone

I do really think that the use of ChatGPT and genAI by students highlights the fundamental flaw of our education system focusing almost entirely on grades and test scores rather than generating curiosity and inquiry, which produces individuals who fundamentally do not understand that the purpose of an assignment is meant to be to learn *how* to do something, not simply to produce a product you can turn in to get an A+

Times like these I remember that Malcolm X quote about healing and how it requires acknowledging the knife is there. Things like "this isn't who we are" and "this is un-American" and "what are we? [insert another country]??" reveal a deep seated denial of American history and state-sponsored domestic terror that I'm just not gonna entertain anymore from leftists over the age of twenty.

The plan was never to become an ICE agent.

The plan, when I went to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Career Expo in Texas last August, was to learn what it was like to apply to be an ICE agent. Who wouldn’t be curious? The event promised on-the-spot hiring for would-be deportation officers: Walk in unemployed, walk out with a sweet $50k signing bonus, a retirement account, and a license to brutalize the country’s most vulnerable residents without consequence—all while wrapped in the warm glow of patriotism.

At first glance, my résumé has enough to tantalize a recruiter for America’s Gestapo-in-waiting: I enlisted in the Army straight out of high school and deployed to Afghanistan twice with the 82nd Airborne Division. After I got out, I spent a few years doing civilian analyst work. With a carefully arranged, skills-based résumé—one which omitted my current occupation—I figured I could maybe get through an initial interview.

The catch, however, is that there’s only one “Laura Jedeed” with an internet presence, and it takes about five seconds of Googling to figure out how I feel about ICE, the Trump administration, and the country’s general right-wing project. My social media pops up immediately, usually with a preview of my latest posts condemning Trump’s unconstitutional, authoritarian power grab. Scroll down and you’ll find articles with titles like “What I Saw in LA Wasn’t an Insurrection; It Was a Police Riot” and “Inside Mike Johnson’s Ties to a Far-Right Movement to Gut the Constitution.” Keep going for long enough and you might even find my dossier on AntifaWatch, a right-wing website that lists alleged members of the supposed domestic terror organization. I am, to put it mildly, a less-than-ideal recruit.
