Uf da...my apologies to the kind folx who followed me right as I fell off the face of the earth. I lost a family member on top of everything; drowning at work, burned out, mad as heck, yet hopefully and most importantly...I'm back!

HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine “Wild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.

I know there's been years of disinfo downplaying the flu in order to dismiss COVID as a threat, but both things cause serious illness and are best avoided. This flu wave is no joke. It's a good idea to get this season's flu vaccine (it's not too late), and wear a well-fitting mask like an N95.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

In light of Trump II’s first 18 days of mayhem — including his and Musk’s coup against our system of government — many are asking: “What can I do now?”
Here’s a revised and expanded list, in rough order of importance.

Listen friends - gather your hope where you can. People showed up in all 50 states on a moments notice. Voicemail boxes of senators are filling up. Lawsuits are being filed.
Look at all the good people.
And do not forget to take care of yourselves. Seriously. This is a long haul.

Mr Rogers always said, to find hope in despair, look for the helpers.
But I think it's important to do more than just look for them. Ask them how you can help. Learn from them. Support them. Become one.
Going to be a lot of grassroots community building. Look to them for the blueprints of help.

Their goal is control and domination, using fear and helplessness to manipulate you. Don’t let them succeed. Step away from social media and the news for a while. Go outside, enjoy lunch with a friend, avoid political content, and take time to relax and recharge. It’s been a tough three weeks.
