Praises and love to my Antifa father and his band of brothers, who fought in WWII on three continents and survived.

Exactly. I'm sure industry pressure but likely a precursor to giving the manufacturers and polluters immunity from liability for any health claims against them.

You're welcome! Such a stupid move on the part of the EPA but also totally on brand for this group.

You recover from the vaxs faster than I do! Takes me 48 hours. Glad you're feeling better! And my mom is doing pretty well, thanks. First couple days were rough but now she's improving almost every day. PT 3x a week now for prob 2 months.

Go get an updated COVID vaccination (and your flu shot while you're there too)

Sanho Tree @sanho.bsky.social · 9h

“A study, published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that last season’s 2024–2025 mRNA COVID vaccines reduced people’s risk of emergency department visits by 29 percent, their risk of hospitalizations by 39 percent and their risk of death by 64 percent.”

A new study shows that receiving an updated COVID vaccine reduced people’s risk of severe disease and death in all age groups, regardless of immunity from prior infection or vaccination

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

“Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine said Wednesday that he and other members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, in a classified briefing this week, were denied access to the Pentagon’s legal opinion about whether the boat strikes adhered to U.S. law.”

Trump has yet to provide Congress hard evidence that targeted boats carried drugs, officials say

The Trump administration hasn't provided evidence to lawmakers that recent U.S. military strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats were justified.

4 lessons of senior rehab caregiving learned so far.
1. Don't sit down. You're cooked if you do. Getting up harder than staying in motion
2. Never run out of ice (for drinking or rehab)
3. No shame in eating at the sink
4. Skip checking pockets for tissues before doing the wash at your own peril

"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."
