I have an account with Lemon8. I rarely use this but there are lots of young, journaling women and girls there. For some strange reason, Elon Musk keeps following me even though I have blocked him several times. Don't know if this is real.

The mass firings at the CDC tonight drive home the fact that no one is coming to save us

But we can save each other

Wear a mask. Ideally a respirator like an N95

Even if you’re vaccinated. Even if you’re “not worried”

It protects you but it also protects everyone else

Bonus? Less colds & flus!

It’s happening…

Thousands more federal workers are getting pink slips. This is 100% Trump’s pressure play to make Democrats cave and give up the fight for our healthcare.

Reminder: Military members got their last paycheck today, and many federal workers only got a partial paycheck.

The healthcare system in #Gaza is in ruins. Hospitals are barely functioning and medical staff have been working without fuel, electricity or food.

Our teams continue to respond in Gaza, but the needs are overwhelming.
