I have just heard from a reader who has had mRNA vaccine cancer treatment - and they say they have gained at least a year of life as a result.
NEW: Last year, Trump's government slashed mRNA vaccine research funding.

But clinical trials suggest mRNA could fight a range of cancers.

Studies are also investigating its efficacy against targets as diverse as norovirus, rabies, HIV, and macular degeneration.

Using antivirals for the flu reduces the severity of the case and reduces your risk of hospitalization or death, it lowers your viral load so you’re spreading less of the virus to those around you, and some antivirals also reduce the risk of other complications www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/...

Bay Area: just a reminder if you feel sick, test for Covid and the flu. While Covid levels are lower right now, flu and RSV are very high! And if it’s confirmed to be the flu you can use Xofluza or Tamiflu to reduce the risk of hospitalization or household viral spread.

The Atlantic:

"Pressure from the White House to meet deportation quotas has meant that ICE agents at best are working hastily and at worst feel unshackled to act with brutality, aware that they are unlikely to face discipline."

Trump's ICE is now behaving like a classic secret police force in a totalitarian state, unaccountable under law and able to murder citizens with impunity? Anne Applebaum explores this in the new season of “Autocracy in America.” Listen here: theatln.tc/aLbUDfbC

The interpretations are (1) thuggish and very stupid ICE agents stole the phone and tried to sell it or (2) thuggish ICE agents kidnapped and brutalized the kid and threw his phone out the window or dumped it in the gutter, laughing, and someone else found it and tried to sell it.
Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center.

It’s not really cringe for Christian influences attribute unlikely statements to their young kids. They view their kids as only extensions of their own ego as opposed to autonomous human beings, so it’s no different than a figure of speech like “I am tempted to say” or something.

Some communities are too small to get attention. School staff have to organize independent of the district to get anything done.

Brooklyn Center is one of the smallest districts in the Minneapolis metro. No big charities, little community resources to rely on. Admin talking instead of doing, so staff are organizing their own grounds supervision and family assistance. Help appreciated.
