Countering Trump’s decision to pull the U.S. out of the World Health Organization, California is the first American state to join the @who.int’s Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network.
With GOARN, we’ll keep working to help protect Californians from public health threats.

This made me smile. Just yesterday at a sandwich shop I saw a woman knitting something. I asked her what it was. She said a sweater. I said I was wearing a sweater I just finished. We both smiled.
I got on the bus home wearing my #crochet cardigan and the woman I sat next to was crocheting for the entire ride.
I didn’t say anything to her, because this is Seattle and over ear headphones are a line I cannot cross. It made me smile though.

I apologize for this horrible human being. How can a man who never served comment on what military did or didn’t? He is beyond ignorant.
My cousin served with the Marines in Afghanistan, he saw his friends wounded and killed. I’m so angry that Trump would insult their sacrifice, and Starmer needs to tell him to f*ck off!
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

I apologize for our horrible President. Thank you to your brother and all NATO soldiers who supported us after 9/11. My son was in one of the towers; came down 62 flights of stairs and survived, thank God. I thought that was a bad time but today is worse. Don’t know what our crazy man will do next
My brother fought in the infantry and lost soldiers in Afghanistan. The press used to report deaths before families had been told and I would check my phone over and over, scared it would ring.
I went to the inquest of one of his killed men. I saw his red-eyed parents, girlfriend and baby daughter.

I can’t count how many times Trump has threatened something, markets go down, then he reverses himself and markets swing back. Stock manipulation! How many of his wealthy cronies are clued in ahead and make a killing knowing he will reverse. Where is the SEC?
US equities reversed early losses during Donald Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos when the US president said he didn’t want to use excessive force to acquire Greenland.
Stocks Rebound as Trump Expounds on Greenland, Equity Markets
US stocks climbed to session highs after US President Donald Trump said he’d reached a “framework” with NATO for a future Greenland deal.
