Last year was my first campaign to fundraise for St. Jude. Iβve been a donor for a while but wanted to share it with more people to level up impact. If you can donate, awesome! If not, thatβs cool too. Boosting is helpful, and anything (even $5) is worth it!

You might think about your local health dept if that's an option? We have to do it with them bc of Medicaid, but I love our nurses and would go to them anyway. I think everyone though is trying to figure it out with those bozos running things into the ground.

My guess is it's the old variant that Walgreens has, which you probably already received? Our health dept has records of our shots, so the nurse knew exactly what I need. I did have to get a note for my MMR, though.

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.
