Time to contact your local pharmacy about getting the updated COVID vaccine. Meanwhile, Republicans are trying to obfuscate information for the casual observer. (Read the entire thread to learn more.) Check out pmc19.com for a state by state list of wastewater reporting. Stay vigilant, my friends!

PMC COVlD Update, Week of Sep 7, 2026 ◾️33 states/territories with outbreaks (see Alt) ◾️Highest levels nationally since March 5th ◾️1 in 86 Americans estimated actively infectious ◾️Peak expected soon, but some caveats THREAD (1/5) 🧵 pmc19.com

The US has at least 33 states/territories with COVlD outbreaks. These include Alaska, Hawai’i, Guam, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Montana, Colorado, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. There are likely outbreaks in additional states. The summary statistic of 33 only includes counties with observed data, rather than estimated data. For example, South Carolina and Oklahoma likely have outbreaks, but monitoring is poor.

I think 47 *does* qualify as disabled. Sycophants surround him, prop him up, and do things for him that he no longer has to do himself. If they stopped catering to him he would lose the ability to wreak havoc. He'd starve and sit around in an unchanged diaper. Impotent figurehead of fascism.

He never wants disabled in his rooms or in front of a camera. He especially hates disabled veterans b/c he doesn’t want to see that. He thinks disabled, sick & diseased people shouldn’t be allowed in public. He’s fired the disabled veterans working for the govt b/c they shouldn’t be seen at all.

Openly racist crap like this coming directly from the White House is why we no longer have any international allies. Abusers intentionally isolate their victims. Abusers love causing pain because that's just about the only time their cold, dead hearts can feel anything. I hope I live to see justice.

This “game” on the White House website, a version of Snake where you play as a white man in a suit and you run around picking up identifiably black, Asian, and Latino men and putting them in orange jumpsuits, might be the most openly white supremacist thing I’ve ever seen the US government produce

Propaganda is when lies are repeated often enough that they are believed. A government that takes care of the people is a good thing. Why have a society at all, if not to share resources and take care of each other?

The word "socialism" is constantly thrown out at any attempt at social progress that challenges the rich and powerful. We hear it used today — but this fear-mongering tactic goes back much further than most of us realize. @hcrichardson.bsky.social shares an interesting history lesson.

Wishing a happy birthday to Diana Muldaur, who played three different doctors on Star Trek: Dr. Ann Mulhall & Dr. Miranda Jones on The Original Series and Dr. Katherine Pulaski in season two of Next Gen.

I've been staying away from anything related to NYT since they started sanewashing the nonsense coming out of the White House. I'm always ready for word games, especially if they're fascism-free.

For all the folks upset about the whole nytimes games/Ken Jennings thing, I made a site that’s way better than nyt’s connections puzzle. It’s like connections. But like, better. And legally distinct. I make zero dollars on this site. No trackng. Open source. I’m just sharing. Playquartets.com

Gretchen Whitmer shoved a data center down Saline Township's throat. She endorsed a billionaire over Michigan citizens. She's for forcing data centers on small communities that don't want them. So is Haley Stevens. They're both bought by billionaires & utility companies www.mlive.com/politics/202...

Whitmer poses next to OpenAI CEO for Michigan data center groundbreaking – drawing ire

Business leaders and Gretchen Whitmer have called data centers a big part of Michigan’s future. One Democrat called this a “complete betrayal of the working class.”

And so the the Burnham government is exposed as true idiots barely after even having started. This is so pathetic it should be disqualifying IMMEDIATELY. A financial fraud, that will make the upcoming financial crisis more severe as all investments are written down to zero - and this ABSOLUTE IDIOT?

Your kid isn't getting admitted on an athletic scholarship no matter how much you drive her to practice, but it always feels better to have an Other to blame, especially one that isn't real and can't be falsified.

Gluesenkamp Perez: "At town halls, what I saw was the people who were the most upset had spent the last 12 years driving their girls to sports practice & they view their best shot of their student going to college as an athletic scholarship. So when we rush to moralize we miss some of the nuance."

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

⚠️ The first phase of Trump’s sweeping anti-voting executive order could be implemented in less than two weeks, according to a DHS memo. The memo shows the administration is actively working to carry out the order despite continuing legal fights. Now, courts may be more likely to step in.
