People who take immunosuppressants to treat chronic illness? Or who have a condition like Common Variable Immunodeficiency? We are polluting the gene pool, we are keeping America from being healthy again, we do not deserve the protection of herd immunity. That is the eugenics at the core of MAHA.

Fire also evident at La Guaira, a port city just north of Caracas:
Caracas is under fire. Multiple U.S. strikes have hit key military sites: Fuerte Tiuna, La Carlota airbase, and a communications center in El Hatillo. Explosions echo through the capital, the power is out in parts of the city, and U.S. helicopters are flying low. Fires also rage near La Guaira.

My altar is dusty. Everything is dusty. Maybe not my mind, though. Cobwebs, perhaps, but a clear thought can emerge. Blown away by a strong breeze, a bell-ringing laugh, the dust dissipates, and my path emerges. I step into the growth.

I used to keep all letters both received, and copies of those written by me. Then I listened to a person who denigrated this as clutter and burned it all. I feel this loss at times, such as right now when I'm reading Baldwin: A Love Story by Nicholas Boggs, and it is replete with his correspondence.
