Remember that in the winter of 2020-2021, we *made a whole strain of influenza extinct* by staying home more and wearing masks when we went out.
A lot of people are sick right now.
Flu and Covid are raging, but the good news is a well fitted respirator can prevent both!
A good mask like an N95 is very effective at stopping flu and Covid.
My article looks at how to choose one, how to fit test, where to buy & more.
Mask up & save lives!

We’re Witnessing the Fall of Public Health… and Your Best Tool is a Mask
Measles in Texas, bird flu in Louisiana, tuberculosis in Kansas and Covid everywhere. Public health has been dying a slow death for years, we can’t count on it anymore. What can we count on? A mask!

1. In a Sunday Night surprise, the trans healthcare coverage ban has been removed from the military NDAA.
Congressional leaders released the negotiated bill this evening, and though the House AND Senate contained the provision, it is not in the final bill!

Trans Healthcare Coverage Ban Stripped From Negotiated Military NDAA Bill In Sunday Night Surprise
Anti-DEI and sports ban provisions for the military still exist in the bill, but the removal of a health care provision is a major victory for transgender people in congressional legislation.

I don't think you could do a Muppet movie with Jeff Goldblum. You know how Jeff Goldblum is always himself in every role? It would cancel out the Muppettness. It would just be Jeff Goldblum playing with puppets

I do not feel even a little bad for James Comey. But I hope every person, politician, company and org that's been capitulating & overcomplying w the regime takes a lesson from this. Comey handed him the presidency and he's still in the crosshairs. Do you really think capitulation will protect you?

Project 2025's parent org is pushing it.
It would not label all trans people as terrorists, but it would open the door for heavy surveillance and disruption.

I've said it before but this shit makes me feel nuts. When I was a contractor, one of my coworkers nearly lost his clearance for taking a photo of a gov't asset, with a gov't camera, for a gov't presentation, just because he didn't get the right approval first. How the hell did we get here?
DOGE isn't fighting fraud — it's potentially exposing Americans to more of it.
Nothing about this fake government agency is "efficient."

A whistleblower has revealed that DOGE officials copied the entire Social Security database — containing sensitive information like Social Security numbers and birthdates of over 300 million Americans — to an unsecured cloud server without proper oversight.

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves.
The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

Yesterday the WSJ was blathering about the shooter's "transgender and antifa ideology". Now it turns out he's a cis white dude and possibly right wing, he's a "model student" and we "have no idea why he did this"

any outlet that reported the “pro-trans ideology on bullet casings” thing owes the public an apology and an explanation
if you are serious about turning down the temperature, start by showing some shame and regret for your role in turning it up in the first place by allowing yourself to be played
