New blog post: My HCM Part 7: 2024 Odyssey from Pain to Recovery

sosassociates.com/blog/2025-12...

I wrote the majority of this in Aug 2024, at a time when there was no guarantee that I would get better

Published today to celebrate the end of the year & 1 year fully recovered - just as I planned!

As dams come down, native fish are returning to their home waters. But invasive species are taking advantage of that same access. How do we separate native fish from undesirable ones?

In Traverse City, researchers are testing an innovative solution called FishPass: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdUj...

👇 THIS!! Please don’t be nice person!! 👇

“Nice people made the best Nazis..

They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.”

They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away.

You know who weren’t nice people?

Resisters.”

Trump is protecting these monsters because he’s a monster himself.
Reps. Massie and Khanna say they've found at least six names of individuals "likely incriminated" by their inclusion in the Epstein files after reviewing unredacted docs.

Massie: "We found six men whose names have been redacted, who are implicated in the way that the files are presented."

TO RECAP:
- The president will grant the most notorious living sex trafficker on the planet clemency, if she testifies that he’s innocent
- They don’t want you to believe the thousands of women who were victims of Epstein
- But they do expect you to believe ONE woman, Ghislaine Maxwell

The House is expected to vote this week on the SAVE American Act, Washington's latest version of a bill designed to make it harder to for Americans to register and vote.
▶ Use lwv.org/save-act to tell Congress to reject the SAVE Act, then share it with people in your life to spread the word.

“The SAVE Act will require voters to show proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections…”

“Only half of Americans hold a valid passport…Birth certificates are also problematic for many married women [whose] name may be different than the name on her birth certificate.”
My new piece is up and it requires your URGENT ATTENTION!

I've had this same problem with the Dem response to Trump over the last year. Promising a legislative solution to unconstitutional activity sends the message that there was some loophole in the law that needs to be closed. It's a clumsy way to keep surrendering our rights.
This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

"First things first, we need to agree that citizens are no longer required to quarter ICE agents."

"We won't agree to that."

"Shit. Ok, let's make a rule that they at least have to pay for their share of the food..."

Good morning☀️
It’s never a bad time to check your voter registration and make sure your info is up to date.
Take a minute today to confirm your status, polling place, and options. 🗳️

good reminder @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social !
With all of the White House demands for state voter information, it’s probably wise to check your voter registration on the regular.

We could get a leash on Trump in nine months if we all pull together.

Sorry to be Radical Left but I don't think we should put people who haven't committed a crime, and aren't even accused of committing a crime, into any sort of "Detention"

Poland is investigating potential connections between Jeffrey Epstein and Polish victims, as well as possible involvement of Russian intelligence in his activities. The Polish government has set up a special task force.
