I am most likely at the last decade (or two) of my life, so I don’t have time to put up with things and people who are uncaring. I am deeply involved in my community, helping my family, adventure, and studies that help me evolve as a human being.
Omg! This is my daily mantra now.

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

It feels like we are on the eve of a great catastrophe. I have lived in places that have been scarred by war. This feeling of dread that I have is familiar.Trauma seeps into the Earth as it does people who have been harmed by conflict. Here, people have been hurt and freedom is no longer guaranteed.

Texas legislators considering a bill that would put all public university course curricula and faculty hiring in the hands of ruling party political appointees and politicians, effectively ending academic freedom.
Texas bill would increase oversight of universities’ hiring, curriculum and compliance
Senate Bill 37 would create a state office to investigate complaints against universities and require governing boards to ensure courses don’t endorse certain ideologies.

1/ The Trump Administration's apparent intention to destroy Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty leads to a bleak conclusion: the United States is no longer interested in promoting democracy, because it's no longer interested in democracy.

I was reading about the great Library of Alexandria in Egypt. It was destroyed by invaders and by fire. Those who seek to control and crush seem to focus on destroying works of science, philosophy, and history. Knowledge left in ruins is witness that those who fear it will try to destroy it.

During the Great Depression, the Federal Government worked hand-in-hand with local farmers buying meat and produce in order to help feed people, especially school children, as well.
The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled.
This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.
