Someone just tried to “own” me by saying “is that how public health works? No children die? Or should we make kids healthier so they survive measles naturally?”
Actually that’s exactly how public health works. We have a safe vaccine that all but eradicated measles, ensuring NO children died.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.
Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

In the Danish city of Aalborg, damaged wind turbine propellers were reused. They were converted into a modern roof for bicycle parking. The project demonstrates how discarded materials can be creatively and functionally recycled.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

So when he was diagnosed with cancer, his community rallied to raise $100,000 for his treatments.
