Life saving treatments that also help protect (hopefully) against known Comorbidities that increase with CVID.

If you have any questions about CVID, PIDDs or SCig (subcutaneous infusion) please feel free to ask.

Dont Forget to Donate Plasma!

The same week that SNAP doesn’t go out for the first time in its history Elon gets a trillion dollar package.

And 600,000 people have died from the cuts he made to USAID.

None of this is at all ok.

Miss the days when Republicans and Dems might disagree on policy, but at least had a shared value that toddlers should not be terrorized and traumatized.

I really am just working from the basic premise of political science that public opinion isn’t just measurable — you can and should CREATE it.
This never stops being true, but I’m not sure Ds have ever, at least in my lifetime, learned to apply it for good. *Creating* public opinion either never occurs to them, or if it does, offends their sensibilities? It’s exasperating

If you thought masked, unidentified federal agents grabbing people off the street were a frightening step toward dystopia, wait until it's private contractors chasing cash bonuses for rounding up human beings at scale
ICE is planning to offer private sector bounty hunters cash bonuses for quickly tracking down the home addresses of immigrants across the US, according to a DHS document I reviewed. ICE encourages potential contractors to use "all technology systems available.” theintercept.com/2025/10/31/i...
ICE Plans Cash Rewards for Private Bounty Hunters to Locate and Track Immigrants
Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate.

The President of the United States is unilaterally levying a tax on every citizen because he didn't like a commercial.
President Trump said that he is raising tariffs on Canadian imports, citing a TV ad in the U.S. that features President Reagan criticizing tariffs. https://wapo.st/431CadI

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.

I've said it dozens of times. City government should put up live cams around the ICE facilities, the downtown area, and have them broadcast live feed, 24/7, on the city's website so people can go look for themselves whenever they wish.
If I lived in Portland I’d be filming daily videos of the reality there and sending them to every single person in my contacts.

I’ve just been informed that there is a TikTok trend of using salt to osmotically cleanse the bowel.

Salt will enter the blood stream and need to be peed out. It may increase blood pressure and strain the heart.

It can cross out of the gut as easily as cross in, and it will take water with it.

Check out my new cookery book you guys. It's called 'Fuck It, Get Takeout' and it's just 300 blank pages that you can tear out to use as napkins.
