New — Here is a running list of Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) offices that have either been fully eliminated or gutted into non-functionality as a result of today's mass firings (provided to me directly by a CDC staffer):

For those confused about this planetary alignment thing flying around the internet.
The planets won’t be aligned. They will be in a line across the sky known as the Ecliptic. Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars are visible

What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and that love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love.

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)

I’m in Los Angeles in the middle of disaster. It feels the same way it did 20 years ago in New Orleans.The lesson learned from back then & today: love those around you and create loving memories. They will sustain you in difficult times.Tragedy is defined by how you respond to it.
