Gavin Newsom just announced that California will be the first state to join the World Health Organization.
This is in direct defiance of Donald Trump, who just pulled the United States out of the organization.

Warning: this entry talks about violence and sexual abuse I've always had a difficult time sorting out guilt. Maybe it is my Roman Catholic upbringing (the Church does guilt so well...), or life experiences, but it's always a challenge teasing…

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark

HHS Gave a $1.6 Million Grant to a Controversial Vaccine Study. These Emails Show How That Happened
Two Danish researchers faced accusations of “questionable research practices” as RFK Jr.’s top appointees made their study a “funding priority.”

32 people died in ICE custody last year — the agency’s deadliest year in over two decades.
Meanwhile, private prison corporations that are building and overseeing ICE detention centers are raking it in.

America really does have a five‑alarm fire in the White House: a president who openly says the only authority that can stop him is “my own morality. My own mind,” while standing on a record of criminal convictions, financial scams, and armed resource grabs abroad

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13.
I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.
Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

This is not the behavior of innocent people. This is the behavior of criminals engaged in a cover-up.

A few years ago, I was offered the sensational opportunity to go to Greenland, to speak to a group of sheep farming women at their annual get together. We flew from Halifax to Reykjavik, then took a smaller plane to Nuuk, Greenland's capital. We were taken to a small town via helicopter, plane, and bus. It was amazing to see the country, the ancient carvings in the stone, the coloured houses perched in the snow.
