Replying to @JoseMSantana10
@JoseMSantana10 Respectfully, the Chomskys knew about the accusations against Epstein after the Miami Herald reporting came out in Nov 2018. Noam Chomsky advised him on how to weather the bad press in Feb 2019. The Miami Herald reporting was good 1/ xitter.cf/JoseMSantana10/status/…
On behalf of Valeria & Noam Chomsky I am sharing this letter of Valéria Chomsky. She writes with total transparency about Noam's stroke, the specific context of their interactions with Jeffrey Epstein, and the deep regret they both carry regarding that “lapse in judgment.” Please read her full statement here:

Valerie does not address or take accountability for this. She states, "only after Epstein's second arrest in 2019 did we learn the full extent and gravity of what were then accusations" -- but they knew about these accusations, and they were credible. 4/4

"At least 400,000 Palestinians are facing annihilation in northern Gaza."
While Israeli media, citing officials, claims that only 20,000 Palestinians remain in northern Gaza, the Israeli Coordinator of Government Activities now states that over 105,000 Palestinian children have been vaccinated in northern Gaza alone. At least 400,000 Palestinians are facing annihilation in northern Gaza.

Biden administration had four years to upgrade indoor air quality, educate the public about CO2 levels, standardize HEPA filtration, normalize wearing masks. Instead they normalized COVID, allowed h5n1 to spread , and now they hand a loaded gun back to Trump
277 dairy herds have now been confirmed to be infected with H5N1 bird flu in California, affecting a quarter of the state's dairy herds, according to USDA.

NYT tech guild announces it walks off the job - their members help power a lot of the digital elements readers turn to daily… and especially on big moments like Election Night

It is so distressing and unreal to see variations of “What if the people killed actually mattered” posed every day while your community is being killed. What if Arabs mattered as much as “other civilians”? What if we existed near you when targeted by USrael?

I think if the pandemic is teaching me anything, it’s that there are people who are primarily guided by fitting in, and people who are not, and the first kind is scared shitless of standing out. They’ll dismiss things as anxiety reflexively, because all outside the norm is bad.

Hard to describe how deeply I feel this.
I take covid precautions because I am wildly in love with life, because I've had to claw my way out of really dark places to inhabit this love, and because I will not let it get ripped from me by people who will never understand the preciousness of what I will have lost

People spoke about the lockdowns as one of the worst times of their lives, stating it should never happen again. When many disabled people ask others to wear a mask so we can leave the house safely after four years, we get told to stay home. So, it’s terrible for you but not us?

I am seeing a lot of liberals very upset about this position (and they should be!) who need to understand that this is also *their* position on disabled people re: Covid if they aren’t masking. Not saying it aloud doesn’t make it not true. And some of you *are* saying it aloud.
After a WH meetIng with disability advocates,Trump told his nephew, whose son is disabled, “maybe those kinds of people should die” given “the shape they’re in, all the expenses.” Then later, asked to chip in for the son’s care: “He doesn’t recognize you. Maybe just let him die.”

It’s just very strange to act as though you can’t be harmed by a virus that’s killed tens of millions of ppl in <5 years, can cause organ and brain and immune system damage, disables at a high rate and isn’t fully understood, and that you’re now expected to get twice a year
These fake leftists keep talking about Covid as if it's theoretical issue outside of them You think you're invincible because you're young and healthy, but Olympic athletes and teenagers alike are getting their lives destroyed by Long Covid Your hubris will be your downfall
