I seriously would not buy anything from the US!! I try to buy as little as possible. It is even hard to trust the label when it says organic because we have no government oversight anymore!!

Gardening has SO many positives! #1 is the fresh food that has ZERO chemicals #2 is not having to give $ to greedy corps, and #3 is the peace. ✌🏻 of 🧠 when I am in my garden. Even dealing with chronic pain, that ☮️ makes EVERYTHING worth it. And the universe knows we need to ☮️ nowadays, am I right?

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

The maddening thing is that we know EXACTLY how to prevent this. Yes, kids should get vaccinated, test, stay home when sick, mask as much as possible. But even without any of that: Better ventilation and filtration in schools can MASSIVELY reduce viral spread, for all sorts of respiratory diseases.

I went to an ENT oncology office and had requested AHEAD of time that they mask explaining I am immunocompromised. I was assured they would. Got there and not a mask in sight. The MA left the room and got a surgical mask after I pointed out my request 😑

I have said just this about H5N1!! They have been instructed NOT to tell the public ANYTHING so we won’t know about it (or a number of other things that will kill us) until there are bodies in the streets. It’s why I tell everyone to mask in public spaces at ALL times!!

There are lots of rumors flying around about what might happen to COVID vaccine access, but please note we still do not have any official news yet.
