If I can’t raise enough money to move out of state, my goal is to at least raise enough money to upgrade the security systems on my house, cameras, security lights, protection for the house, etc, to keep us safe in the meantime. ❤️‍🩹🙏💐

A group of young men burned down an Ebola treatment center in Congo today. They were angry because their friend had died of the disease and the medical center wouldn’t release the body, which would have been dangerous. If you are thinking this wouldn’t happen here, you are mistaken.

This clip is extraordinary - and a perfect example of the gaslighting this Administration does. McMahon is proposing to cut funding to enforce civil rights by 35%. IT'S IN HER BUDGET IN BLACK AND WHITE. And she came before Congress and denied it. Up is down. Down is up.

You can listen to the whole thing, here: www.wbur.org/onpoint/2026... Worth it, mainly to hear the brilliant Linda Bilmes talk about her work on the cost of the Iraq war.

The USDA is going to use Elon Musk’s Grok for a myriad of functions, including “scientific research”. I can’t see any potential drawbacks to using a bigot-coded AI that is fed and watered by scientific misinformation at the joint that oversees food safety. /s
