Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

🌲 Christmas tree arrived at WH - it's so weird/surreal that people pretend any of this is normal. Especially since a big portion of the actual house is missing where people who wanted to honor, visit & celebrate our country no longer have a place (or desire?) to go.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Yet another unique way to stimulate cellular immunity against cancer.
“Using the gut immune system to induce cellular immunity is a unique approach,” Shirakawa notes. “And it should be very easy to extend it to other antigen proteins and also infectious diseases.”

Folks have tried to bring attention to this pattern for years.
Hopefully this administration and their influential oligarchical buddies illustrating it as never before will wake people up.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

My favorite since the first time I randomly turned on a TV and saw him soulfully playing the harp. Then his quiet, outrageous hilarity kept me watching for any time they were on. He was a very sweet and loving family man IRL.

The Trump Education Department’s new plan to limit reimbursements for degrees deemed “non-professional” effectively puts careers like nursing, teaching and social work — not to mention critical vocational fields — out of reach for many students.
This change is reckless and shortsighted.
