Despicable

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.
ABA It has been three weeks since Inauguration Day. Most Americans recognize that newly elected leaders bring change. That is expected. But most Americans also expect that changes will take place in accordance with the rule of law and in an orderly manner that respects the lives of affected individuals and the work they have been asked to perform. Instead, we see wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself, such as attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize those who support lawful programs to eliminate bias and enhance diversity. We have seen attempts at wholesale dismantling of departments and entities created by Congress without seeking the required congressional approval to change the law. There are efforts to dismiss employees with little regard for the law and protections they merit, and social media announcements that disparage and appear to be motivated by a desire to inflame without any stated factual basis. This is chaotic. It may appeal to a few. But it is wrong. And most Americans recognize it is wrong. It is also contrary to the rule of law. The American Bar Association supports the rule of law. That means holding governments, including our own, accountable under law. We stand for a legal process that is orderly and fair. We have consistently urged the administrations of both parties to adhere to the rule of law. We stand in that familiar place again today. And we do not stand alone. Our courts stand for the rule of law as well.

Spent today doing a small act of kindness.... making a loom that turns plastic bags into mattresses, mostly for the homeless.

Honestly puzzled. Why can't Gmail get rid of spam? I have three email accounts for different purposes (icloud being one). Gmail is the only one that sends so much junk (spam, phishing, etc.). Never the others. I mean why can't Gmail get rid of junk? Anyone else frustrated enough to quit gmail?

This seems pretty compelling. I can't remember Nobel Laureates ever writing like this in opposition to a candidate to lead HHS before.

To the extent you can, start each day connecting with your heart. Meditation, journaling, reading scripture, whatever soothes and calms.

Peace brings serenity, a quality that's elusive in times of so much stress or anxiety.

Take care of yourself people.

Remember amidst all the despair and disappointment that communities have shared aspirations. Find them. Use them as starting points to take action and thereby create real hope. Change takes time. Start where you can. When you can. #hope #community #moving-forward
