We talk a lot about health & wellness, but for many, it’s more survival than self-care. Read my latest Substack post→ Health Is a System, Not Just a Lifestyle Choice Why smoothies & self-care can’t replace safe housing, living wages, & public health systems open.substack.com/pub/juliefra...

I wish I could call in but as a day walker it would be interesting to know if you or Simon have seen the Apple show called Government Cheese. There’s a Native American sub-plot that I thought it was interesting. Wondered what your opinion on it would be. Will listen tomorrow. ☺️

A natural consequence of Trumps attack on science and research- insuring America will lose its world leadership. Tragic that the GOP supporters of Trump are betraying their oath to thr Constitution and rule of law, separation of Church and State. History will remember their treachery.

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

Since Trump announced his worldwide tariffs: markets tanked, retirement accounts took a hit, and Americans are panicked. We can pass a resolution right now to stop this chaos–Republicans just need to grow a spine and put the American people over blind loyalty to Donald Trump.
