Live fire exercises over populated areas of beautiful San Diego, assaulted California’s senses on 10/18. Why live fire? Why San Diego? Why aim over busy I-5? Aggression may provoke a response by terrified people, giving an excuse to declare martial law. I pray: stay calm. Don’t fall for it.

Thrilled and humbled that my life of artist Ruth Asawa will be published in Japan by Shoshikankanbou. Thanks to my agents at HG Literary, readers in her parents’ homeland can read about her journey in their own language!

I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong.
If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines.
The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible.
Vaccines save lives. Period.
