"During an appearance on Theo Von’s podcast yesterday, Kennedy described why he was determined to keep going to in-person addiction meetings during the pandemic:“I’m not scared of a germ. You know, I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats.”
Our beloved Sec HHS. OMG.

Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change

Bye bye planet Earth. Wish our children and grandchildren good luck. Only a true dictator would say this:
"President Trump on Thursday announced he was erasing the scientific finding that climate change endangers human health and the environment,"

Trump et al: committing war crimes against humanity as he repeals all climate related rules and regs and declares the science wrong. Kinda like what the Pope did back in the day to people like Galileo. Only Trump knows best. OMG are we screwed.

THIS is America. We must remind ourselves everyday because it is so easy to look out the window and see people calmly walking around, enjoying the beautiful weather here in Seattle, enjoying the view and forget that our nation is being rapidly destroyed. Germans did the same thing. Forgot.

A devastating HCR piece today. Too many important quotes to fight with Bluesky character limitations. Read it. And especially read the last three paragraphs. As Hannah Arendt said (paraphrasing) silence is support, omission is commission.

it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP
This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch,
It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A.,
Even tho it way exceeds character limits, must post Trump's Social Truth rant. He is such a total racist lying moron.

Take a look at the war chest ICE put together for the occupation of Minneapolis and the assault on its residents.
Our tax dollars hard at work. Beyond sickening but also a very clear warning to our dying democracy.

Nearly Half of Once Frequently Updated CDC Databases Are Now Outdated
46 percent of CDC databases that were updated at least monthly were no longer current in 2025, hindering timely, evidence-based policymaking and undermining public trust.

‘They Couldn’t Break Me’: A Protester, the White House and a Doctored Photo
www.nytimes.com
“ARRESTED” was emblazoned across the photo, along with a misleading description of Ms. Levy Armstrong as a “far-left agitator” who was “orchestrating church riots in Minnesota.”

"White House posted a manipulated photo of her arrest to its official social media account, depicting Ms. Levy Armstrong, a civil rights attorney and activist, as hysterical — tears streaming down her face, her hair disheveled, appearing to cry out in despair.
It summarizes, epitomizes the cruel, corrupt, fascist level Trump has achieved as he destroys our country and democracy.READ the article.

These hormonal abnormalities in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis correlate closely with reported levels of fatigue and cognitive “brain fog,” suggesting that the virus causes a persistent state of physiological stress. Symptom severity correlated with the degree of cortisol disruption.
