Since January 24, 14,482 adults and 1,541 infants have died as a consequence of a single frozen USAID program. USAID implements the PEPFAR program.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.

This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.

What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

5-10 years ago a teenage girl said "climate change is a worry, we should do something" and it made lots of men's peenies do a sad little scream and retreat in to their abdomens forever.

First Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Freedom of religion guarantees freedom for the entire belief spectrum, from atheist, to Pantheist, to None, to Buddhist, to Muslim, to Born Again, to whatever.

I'm considering having the First Amendment tattooed on my butt. Whenever I'm attacked for supporting everyone's right to their beliefs I'll respond by inviting the attacker to kiss my First Amendment.

Never forget, sometimes hope takes many decades to come to fruition.

Some trees take 25 years before they bear fruit.

Trees have much to teach us about the relationship between tenacity and hope.

Lots happening in the boundaries.

After the election, "Bye bye Miss American Pie," kept popping into my mind.
It felt like they killed apple pie.
Like they found the kryptonite necessary to murder truth, justice, and the American way.

When a government is elected through a campaign of lies, how will we know when they tell the truth?

Never forget—
the life force is unstoppable,
on our little blue planet
(miracle of miracles)
love evolved,
the future is not written
and we are among those writing it.
You are powerful.
You are a seed.

Hello, Blue Sky.
