Again, the case where distribution is more meaningful than overall measure: "...the renovation enjoys significantly more support among Republicans than Democrats. 62% of Republicans support it, while 88% of Democrats oppose it. Independents were more divided, with 17% supporting & 61% disapproving."

Yes, 1000% My last 2 coffee makers, Brain and Cuisinart models, were used from Habitat Restore. Each lasted multiple years. Paid $5. No packaging, no delivery truck environmental impact. I buy used clothes as well.

It is up to us to protect what is left of our environment

What @ICEgov is doing is wrong & un-American. It’s fascist. So it’s up to all of us to oppose ICE, to expose ICE, to blow the whistle on ICE, to film & record ICE, to hound ICE, & to notify our neighbors of ICE’s whereabouts.

It’s up to all of us to fight back against ICE.

Wishing her a healthy baby and an uncomplicated delivery.

Hope her baby gets the usual vitamin K injection, antibiotic eye ointment or drops, the first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine, and newborn metabolic screening tests, and RSV immunization

Completely agree. Keeping money in the community keeps jobs in community. And so much more.

These thugs have a deep well of hatred that festers unchecked. No one behaves this way because it is their “job.” This behavior is revolting.

Utterly appalling and racist.

I'd put money on it that his in-laws speak Telagu at home and Usha speaks Telagu to her parents.

I don't know how he sleeps at night.

Just cruel & idiotic policy.

Men get breast cancer—it’s rare but real. In 2025, ~2,800 US men diagnosed, 510 deaths expected. Lifetime risk: 1 in 726. Symptoms: breast lump, nipple discharge/inversion, skin changes. Often dx late due to low awareness. See your MD #MensBreastCancer #EarlyDetection

NEW: A Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica sets up new roadblocks to care for male veterans with breast cancer.

The agency cites no new science but relies on an executive order about “restoring biological truth” in government.

Please don't take medical advice from someone who still can't spell "hepatitis" and who doesn't know there are not individual M,M,R shots available.

It's easy to think--at least he's telling families to vaccinate their kids. But the effect will be lower vaccination rates. Why?

Those who already avoid vaccines will see this as validating their extra caution. And some on the fence will now try to delay/spread out shots and end up skipping some.

Social media post from the president, saying "Pregnant women, DON'T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON'T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON BREAK UP THE MMOR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS!

Don't buy that last-minute Halloween costume on #Amazon. It isn't worth it. There are many creative solutions in your closet. Ask a friend.

#shoplocal. Local shops keep your $$$ in community, fund local jobs, contribute to state income tax revenue, & help local charities.

Every day, #Vermonters send >$1M to Amazon—money that doesn't support local jobs or charity. The convenience isn't worth the cost. ⬆️ Amazon shopping = ⬇️⬇️ local businesses. Amazon wants your $$$. It doesn't care about you, your family or your community. #shoplocal #NoAmazon

Photo saying "Each minute, Vermonters send $1,100 to Amazon, or $1.4 Milion every day." Shop local. Try Myti.com for local shopping in Vermont.
