In case you’re not already, boycott Home Depot. This is sick.
“A Home Depot in Los Angeles installed three high-pitch noise-emitting machines outside to deter day laborers from seeking work there, causing them to suffer headaches and nausea, advocates alleged at a press conference on Wednesday.”

Fun fact: when we as a nation and world decided to ignore an ongoing pandemic and mass disabling event, we were also signing up for more people needing mobility aids and a lot of other side effects that seem to baffle most people despite their utter predictability if you “follow the science.”

Fresh air is not a lifestyle preference or a comfort feature. It is one of the most effective public-health interventions we have. A century ago, this was already understood. Today, we continue to ignore it, even as COVID and Long COVID persist.

Waking up today there was a moment I thought I’d dreamt the whole Rob Reiner thing. It’s just devastating, last night having the news just keep going from bad to worse, seemed too surreal. My heart aches for their family, I can’t imagine. He was such an absolute legend, his movies shaped our lives.💔

The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.
It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.

Israel has killed 249 journalists in the last 2 years.
That's more than were killed in WWII & the Vietnam War put together.
A Vermonter, Dylan Collins, was wounded in one of these attacks, which killed another reporter. This war against journalists must be investigated & ended.

Sometimes I imagine what it would have been like had we adapted to Covid instead of giving up.
If we had clean air in public spaces.
Respirators in healthcare.
Free masks for those who need them.
Better tests & treatment.
Paid time off.
We would all be healthier.

Vinay Prasad of the FDA claims that he has proof that 10 children died from COVID19 vaccines, so the FDA will now target flu shots, look at whether people should receive multiple vaccines at the same time, and make the vaccine approval process significantly more difficult.

This is the same man who mocked a disabled reporter on stage during his first run for President.
The same man who said his disabled nephew should be “left to die”.
The same man trying to gut healthcare so disabled people will die.

Rereading BEEZUS AND RAMONA with my little, I can’t help but think about how Ramona was clearly a ND girl that everyone treated like the biggest pain in the ass/burden, telling her she was “naughty” and wrong. And also the Eldest Sister bullshit is SO real. Grew up to these messages, loud and clear.
