Picking up your car from the bar the next morning isn’t a walk of shame—it’s a badge of honor. It means you made the smart call, got home safely, and kept the roads safer for everyone. Celebrate your choice, maybe with a cup of coffee.

Her latest tests (20-12-2025) show severe anemia (Hb 8.4) and dangerous blood-clotting abnormalities (elevated INR), putting her at high risk of bleeding and extreme exhaustion. We are not asking for luxury, only a chance at treatment.

“It is not clear what the research question is. It seems to be about the safety of the vaccine rather than its effectiveness, but both are already well-established, and to undertake such a study in a population where almost 1/5 of the adult population has a marker of infection seems extremely risky”

The proposed rule targeting healthcare for transgender and gender diverse people is cruel, and unnecessary. Under the law in WA, necessary healthcare for transgender people is lawful and legally protected. Proposed rules are not the law – nothing has changed in WA.

Hey Bay Area urbanist or anti-traffic-violence friends,

Can you please share this in your communities?

Ethnic media sometimes doesn’t get seen in our networks, but this deep dive into a recent tragedy deserves more attention.
A deep dive into the aftermath of San Jose, CA traffic violence on a Desi immigrant and her family:

“We pray for her to come back to normal every day. Police say it’s a normal case. The man driving was not arrested and the police say it’s a civil case not criminal.”
