All Souls' Day, and in the blue dusk light, carrying a lantern, Old Fox walked down to the churchyard. A barn owl called down from the tower, and was answered somewhere in the trees.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

“The military already has every safeguard it needs to protect classified information: … What it does not need is an improvised contractual mechanism that could be used to suppress accountability or restrict legitimate oversight.”

Why Commanders Don’t Sign NDAs
Existing rules and laws applying to military secrecy are sufficient—and asking officers to sign NDAs is deeply inappropriate.

A complete vaccination series which includes three doses of vaccine and is recommended for all children before the age of 7 is approximately 95-97% effective in preventing the infection.

📉 1 in 6 U.S. parents are skipping or delaying childhood vaccines. 7-9% skipped measles, polio or hepatitis shots — opening the door to deadly outbreaks we thought were history. Vaccines aren’t optional. They’re protection. wapo.st/4nnbM5T

The age of a neonate/infant/child, presence of preexisting medical risks, their overall appearance, and associated physical exam findings all matter when evaluating fever.

It was from the head of the FDA, Martin Makary:
"A study out of Hopkins actually showed that treating a fever can prolong the duration of illness in a young kid. Maybe that's because a fever is a body's natural way of ridding an infection."

All of this is so deeply upsetting because children will have preventable febrile seizures, mothers may miscarry due to untreated fever, and some pregnancies will be more challenging due to unmanaged pain. There are no upsides to this reckless misinformation from the top just harm and pain.

Even if someone says they won’t have sex, the HPV vaccine is recommended because HPV is extremely common, often transmitted at first sexual contact (and sometimes via other routes), and the vaccine prevents cancers decades later. Getting it before any exposure gives the best protection.

One of the saddest things is when children have cancer, immune deficiency or need bone marrow or organ transplants.
And to add insult to injury, they’re unable to receive vaccines.
But YOU can do your part to help protect them by immunizing yourself & your family.
