I honestly don't know why people keep having kids. Y'all clearly dont give a shit about them if your first gift to them is covid.

My tiny 25weeker caught 5 different nasty hospital-acquired infections while in the NICU (11 years ago) and has chronic lung disease and retinopathy as a result. Masks should ALWAYS be worn in the NICU. Know better, do better. This is beyond shameful.

anyone need a bit of a gut-punch to start out their day?

can you IMAGINE 4 years ago how we’d have reacted to a COVID outbreak in a neo-natal ICU ward?

or what we’d have thought if we learned the reason fragile newborns were infected was because GROWN-UPS REFUSED TO WEAR MASKS?

Jessica Ellis Why aren’t those babies just doing a personal risk assessment?

I will say again, when you erode basic community ethics/practical behaviors for convenience, at the risk of the community, pretty soon you don’t have a community that functions anymore.

According to twitter Covid logic, these *checks notes* premature babies should know that no one owes them anything and their health is their responsibility.

All “less lethal” weapons can and do cause severe injury and death.
“Rubber bullets” are metal bullets coated in rubber.

Police usually misuse “less lethal” weapons such as by intentionally aiming for the head, face, and eyes.

Rubber bullets are not fired from regular guns.

All children are vulnerable & deserve protection from airborne pathogens, so I’m delighted that after 8 months of communication, my daughter’s high school has finally agreed to trial air filtration units!

We have a long way to go but it’s a phase 1 win 🥹

Now to find a UK fan…

Cal Poly students pushed cops out of the building they occupied. CUNY students pushed NYPD off their encampment. Now protesters have fenced in cops. This isn't happening on a campus. It's happening in 'the fucking city center of Amsterdam.'

This should tell you all you need to know about support for the genocide among Israelis. This is the size of anti-war demonstrations.

BREAKING: Student campaigners at University of Aberdeen will begin an encampment in support of Palestine later today, sources tell The Gaudie. Their demands (below) are to 'Divest, Condemn, Pledge and Protect.' More to come.

In addition, up to 20 students from Gaza will be offered to attend CSUS

National SJP will provide an update tomorrow to clarify what the material implications of the divestment policy will be and how the Chancellor of the CSU system may interfere with this measure

NSJP has received reports that Cal State Sacramento has won full divestment, set to officially start on 5/24

- no direct, indirect, or auxiliary investments that support any genocide, ethnic cleansing or human rights violations
- divestments will be disclosed on the CSUS website

Arrests underway at UMass Amherst

ALL OUT TO DEFEND THE ENCAMPMENT

To be clear my dad has never asked me to mask. He doesn't need to ask for me to do the right thing. I want to protect him and not cause more harm - his health is already bad from one covid infection.

Guy asks why I'm masking. Goes on to say he too lives with a vulnerable parent, but they've never asked him to mask. Says I'm doing a caring thing. Says his parent is very unwell & really doesn't want to catch covid. This guy never wears a mask.
