Hope Dealer, supporting brave folks on their recovery journey, and fighting the silence, stigma, and shame that give suicide it's power. For fun, I officiate weddings and keep a 2000 gallon goldfish pond.

The Massachusetts AG is cracking down on a company collecting on "zombie second mortgages" — old loans that homeowners thought were dead but rise from the grave. People are losing houses over them.
Hundreds of zombies killed by Massachusetts AG — zombie loans, that is

Take a wild guess who appointed that judge.
That’s right — Donald Trump.
Thanks to him, 4 million people will no longer get a raise.
It’s far from the first time he’s cheated working class people out of their money, and it certainly won’t be the last.

One of the most horrendous aspects of a Project 2025 is the plan to monitor and track women’s reproductive health data in order to monitor pregnancies and yes, abortions.
Not on our watch.

Measles requires 95% vaccination rates for herd immunity.
It has a 16.2% case fatality rate for unvaccinated children under 5 years and 24% for children under 9 months (who are unable to be vaccinated).
30% of the survivors experience severe complications like blindness, deafness, or encephalitis.

These are the vaccination rates of kindergartners by state. It takes 95% coverage of MMR vaccine to prevent measles outbreaks & most states are not achieving it. I fear that under the new administration rates will drop even further and we will start to see preventable illness, disability, and death

yep, we've been trying to call attention to this for decades now. ironically, AA does not ban even potentially addictive meds for people in recovery if you are honest to your doc, but NA explicitly opposes methadone and buprenorphine for OUD.
Proponents of 12-step often argue that the program does not oppose medications for opioid use disorder.
12-step literature says otherwise.
Its cultural stranglehold on US addiction treatment may be killing more than it saves. www.statnews.com/2024/11/12/o...
