Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

The Culling begins. Antivax messages are directly delivered to the poor and un/undereducated.
Breaking News: Rejecting decades of science, the chair of the federal panel that recommends vaccines for Americans said that shots against polio and measles — and perhaps all diseases — should be optional. The vaccines are credited with preventing disability and millions of deaths worldwide.
Vaccine Panel Chair Says Polio and Other Shots Should Be Optional, Rejecting Decades of Science
Dr. Kirk Milhoan, a pediatric cardiologist who leads the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, said a person’s right to refuse a vaccine outweighed concerns about illness or death from infectious diseases.

Not a single package of Wick Fowler's 2 Alarm Chili left at Kroger. So I'll cobble something together from the Kroger brand (which suggests adding canned tomatoes and canned beans, lol no).

Yet another chiropractor sent email to me. Not the one in Vancouver, though (that's the Canadian birthday one). This time it's one in OR. I can't say where because it's not a very populated area but omg, I want to go there now.

I just saw a video that purports to be a woman getting stopped by border patrol and asked if she is a citizen. If you look at the video, she is at an actual border control checkpoint. Be careful what you circulate. The truth is bad enough as it is, we don’t need to make shit up.

I've been watching The Children Act. I've been in that situation with Jehovah's Witness parents glaring at me as if I were Satan himself. The docs were going to attempt bloodless in that case, but if it didn't work, there might be transfusions. I remain thoroughly ok with it.

VAN SUSTEREN: The church -- that's a particularly troubling issue because you got a pastor, I purposely didn't name it, he's reportedly associated with ICE
NOEM: Thank you for not naming him. People don't realize that when you keep naming someone over and over, you increase the threats against them

Something happened this week that occurs from time to time. I was where I was from after someone listened to me talk. I told him I was a 6th generation Texan and asked him why. He said I sound a little bit like a Northerner. I said I'm an extra-Real Texan because I'm Oilfield Trash.

A note for lawyers looking for jobs: Apparently, The Posse List advertises MAGA jobs, and, boy, are they disguised. One person noted that jobs at a "prestigious government agency" was actually helping to strip disabled kids of funding for education. FYI. Be careful out there.

There's a corollary to the 1st Amendment in the Texas constitution and they could've brought it in state court.
It was a choice to bring it in front of Kacsmaryk.
