Heads up if you’re trying to schedule the 2025-2026 Covid vaccine at Walgreens
1. Staff didn’t realize scheduling was open - they have no news
2. They usually only carry Pfizer
3. The app requires that you have a prescription

Notice Mamdani charmed Trump on live TV without backing down on any stances. He didn't water himself down, he didn't even take back calling Trump a fascist. Moderates would say butter him up, or try to appear more right-wing. Voters can see through that—and evidently so does he!

The dissenting opinion mentions George Soros 17 times and me and my law firm 3 times (all about how connected to Soros I allegedly am). I have never seen anything like it.

As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

This is sound advice for how to deal with your brain in general.
I do remind myself, though, I am not the thoughts or the emotions. I am their observer.
I can reject them. It's the acceptance or rejection of thoughts/emotional reaction that defines our souls not the thoughts/emotions themselves.
