This happened on the corner where my art studio is. That’s my husband walking towards the car. It was sickening and traumatizing for staff at Buona Forchetta.

Extended groaning as our structures that build a healthy community fall
We were just notified that our contract to UCSD and Scripps Research to support wastewater surveillance in San Diego (searchcovid.info) was terminated immediately for the same reasons 👇.

That means no more genomic wastewater surveillance, and our proposed extensions to measles, Hep A, others, gone.

A lesson from Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel
If you still don’t understand why it’s important to amplify and encourage the Dems who are doing the work even if it isn’t perfect,

Do you remember the book, Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel?
