Very worrying. DRC just reported 125 new confirmed Ebola cases in a single 24 hour period, right after passing 100 daily cases for the first time yesterday. The outbreak is accelerating, not just driven by more testing: 50% of all tests in Ituri were positive.

This happens once or twice a year in Union Square despite all the sewer work done in the last 6 or 7 years. That said, if they hadn't done the sewer work, there'd be like a foot of water in this intersection. (If you look just to the left of the that car, you'll see Gracie's.)
Marion Davis@marionsd.bsky.social · 2w agoHoly cow. Manhole covers opening and shutting in the rain and wind in Union Square, sounding like church bells. Seems a bit risky tbh? @311somerville.bsky.social

And here I was thinking that given Collins's record, anyone not in the GOP would say "I will vote for a ham sandwich as long as it didn't rape anyone and doesn't have a Swastika on it," but that's just me
Pam V@morgans51.bsky.social · 4w agoIt was the platform, not the main, that 72 % of Democrats and left leaning independents came out to support in record numbers. Not understanding this, and not replacing Platner with a true Progressive with fight such as Troy Jackson is s asking for yet another loss to Two Term Suzy.
Yup. This has been incredibly gaslighting and frustrating to (leftist!) Jews who’ve been trying to say: hey, the online left sure is adopting a lot of Nazi memes and rhetoric about Jews and get told “you’re lying/Zionists because bigotry is incompatible with leftism.” It’s giving “real Christians”
Gwen Snyder is uncivil@gwensnyder.bsky.social · 4w agoI really don't know what we do about living in a digital age where "the left" as it is understood and monetized online has basically zero connection-- ideological or otherwise-- to the actual movement in this country. It's a bunch of reactionaries who rode the Bernie train to niche fame.

Craig Spencer MD MPH@craigspencer.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe White House is intent on keeping Ebola out, at all costs. The U.S. is planning to send Americans exposed to or infected with Ebola to Kenya, instead of bringing them home for care.
