Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell. Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

If you want to argue with me that #LongCovid or #MECFS are #FND or psychological, you better show me peer-reviewed studies to support this. Going by your personal experience or anecdotes from your work with FND patients is not #science, it's #bias. #StopPsychologizing

I just heard from a patient that an allergist at a certain top academic institution wrote in her chart, "Patient believes that #MCAS can cause #POTS. Patient is not well-informed," and then dismissed her with anxiety because her serum tryptase was normal. How sad and ironic... 🙄

Being young, healthy & fully vaxxed does NOT prevent you from developing Long COVID. @DrTomFrieden this is very irresponsible messaging from a former CDC Director currently leading an org that claims to be trying to prevent cardio complications of pandemics.

Replying to @DrTomFrieden
Masking up is a risk/benefit calculation. If you’re young, healthy, up-to-date on your vaccinations and you're not worried about long Covid, it may be reasonable to unmask. But if you're medically vulnerable or around people who are, or worried, you might want to adjust. 2/

Hundreds of coal miners in Alabama have spent more than 600 days on strike to protest pay and benefits cuts. And yet their employer has turned record profits — and neither side seems ready to budge. n.pr/3UmjbTO

To recap, the Republican Party is against: -Paid sick leave -Paid family & medical leave -Universal childcare -Universal pre-K -Tax increases on corporations & the rich -The expanded Child Tax Credit -Student debt relief Doesn't sound like the party of the working class to me.

Jeff Bezos says he plans to give away the majority of his ~$117 billion net worth during his lifetime. That’s nice, but can I let you in on a secret? Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity. It’s PR to distract you from low wages and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

Is Billionaire Philanthropy a Sham?

I’m having convulsions like this many times a day. Warning: these are upsetting to watch, so skip it if you’re feeling fragile.

Obviously, there’s no way I can travel by commercial flight. My convulsions have been getting more extreme, including choking, making this an emergency. No local neurosurgeon can treat this. Indeed, they dismiss it as psychosomatic despite clear evidence of physiological problems
