A hybrid solution? Time-based bus lanes? Dual use for HOA3+ and buses? I've many times sat in the eastbound one car lane, during midday, when there are zero buses in the wide-open lane next to the cars, while waiting for multiple lights to make my way to I-5.
Maybe he's learned how to use chatgpt, and asks it to write "smart Trump"??!!
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
Just tell them the truth, and if they're frustrated, to contact their government reps.
The acting head of the CDC is a tech bro with no medical training who embraced Covid conspiracy theories. Talk about malpractice.
And ICE harassed the Native American firefighters in the groups, racially profiling them because of their darker skin.
not gonna spoil it. just go look lol
Super cute! Love these guys too... bsky.app/profile/diap...
Agree.
T needs to be reminded that he would have died from covid in 2020, had it not been for the CDC.
These are the words of a lunatic who does not belong in government, much less as our nation's top health official. It is dangerous to allow him to oversee ALL federal health research and public health infrastructure. It is never too late to do the right thing. Fire RFK Jr.
Just called your office to thank you for being vocal about this. Please do all you can to get him out of there. Our lives are at stake.
DONE!
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.
"activist judges" = women
Join some Nobel Laureates and sign this petition to remove RFK Jr. from office. He is a danger to the people of the United States and a national security threat. www.change.org/p/demand-rfk...
This is obscene thehill.com/policy/defen...
Do you recommend we reach out to the HHS agency to give our feedback? And/or our reps? Looking for the most effective ways to be heard.
ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?
Or, someone else is writing for him. His hand hurts??!
It's not looked at the same way in Canada. That said, a friend has had to bypass waiting for over a year for a hip replacement, due to horrible pain, and is paying a BC doc who travels to Alberta, for her surgery. So there's some elements of privatization but not like the US. (I'm not an expert.)
But I am a Canadian, who lives abroad. So no current residency in Canada. Will my SIN work?

Tell us how to get them there. I.e. which provinces/cities, pharmacy examples, etc. Thanks!
state by state laws vary on how insurance behaves...we will learn soon, and I hope you're right
We don't know yet what insurance companies, will cover it, and it's also state-by-state law that dictates this. I agree with the thinking though, that it's similar to the flu so should be covered. Seems like an opp for insurance to charge us more.
A long fought battle. Thanks to the League of Women Voters, WMEG org and the women judges, democracy won!
Do I just have to say I'm depressed to get the shot? The list is difficult to decipher, as a non-expert, IMO.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
That the NYT editors published this is telling. Maybe they're starting to worry about their portfolios with the upset on the FR board. We could only hope to see more forthright reporting from this publication.

Talked to a pharmacist in Alberta and any vaccines offered will be limited to a small number of pharmacies. Maybe the provincial healthcare systems can see a cash cow in this and take advantage of the vaccine tourists?!!
A nice news break from the insanity. I hope their wedding gets more coverage that that Bezos guy.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. used part of his presentation during a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday to provide an update on a physical fitness test between himself and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
I first thought the headline said "save me from the macarons", as in those almond flour cookies that are tasty.
20 countries have now stopped shipping all valuable mail parcels to the United States. It’s a result of the White House’s large and chaotic taxes on Americans who buy products made with any input from overseas (‘tariffs’). If you listen closely, you can hear small businesses dying.
Send a thank-you postcard to one of his offices! Easy to find the addresses. Can also fill out an online form. Let him know the masses need more of this from him and other true leaders.
“A secretive group founded by Palantir mogul Peter Thiel is planning to expand its influence in Washington, D.C. *** The group, called Dialog, wants to establish a permanent physical campus in the capital, where it can carry on its invite-only meetings involving major power players.” 8/7/25
Do not come, Donald Trump. You are neither wanted nor needed here in Illinois.
Time for Canadians, close to the border, to set up those ship-to mailboxes, just like Americans did for Canadians in the past. You'd still have to pay the duty, but at least you can get stuff, and a quick trip to lovely Canada too
In Chicago, many years ago, I got robbed by a group of white, shaved-head, Green Bay Packers-wearing male teens. I found cops to help me. It didn't stop me from going downtown from the burbs, but I was definitely more careful going forward.
Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war. She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza. tinyurl.com/3cn5c9vb

A federal website that informs the public about what information agencies are collecting and allows for public comment went down last weekend, and it has only been partially restored. https://to.pbs.org/45Nd8PS
Just filled it out and re-posted. $10-20 pp for a tax service paid for by us, the taxpayers, seems like a really great value!
Treasury is required to produce a report to Congress related to Direct File, the free tax filing option that the current administration intends to kill. They've created a survey with a bunch of leading questions. The survey deserves some responses supportive of the program to counteract its framing:
My precious tax dollars paying for Shake Shack.
So, what does Peter Theil want the outcome of this war to be? That will be how Vance approaches it.
Feel like one political party kidnapping an opponent should be bigger news
I'm guessing you're in Greece or somewhere not too far from there? Enjoy!
Because I'm occasionally out of town, I signed up for WA state's email process. You have to be able to scan or take a photo of your sig, but you can email it in. Now I always get notification via email, but if home, do the regular mail-in or drop box
Wow. The way this is going is he'll say it's time to implement dipping your finger in the inkpot after you vote. 😑 Been voting in WA state since 2002. I have never voted at a ballot box in person, only via mail or email (when abroad). I've never missed one election.
From Russia Today's Telegram channel, this morning
They need to string him along to get what they want in various negotiations...then make up some excuse why they can't give it to him
Congressional leader @jayapal.house.gov has a very helpful staff who could likely point you to someone.
Best one ever...
...and then "Doug" complains when there's a guy living in a tent on the sidewalk in his city.
Who's going to get fired for delivering this news?
Super easy to contact him via his website. The more of us who do this and put pressure, MIGHT help him grow a spine??!!
Next will be Martial Law if it looks like Republicans and Trump will lose the election. It's all happening in front of our eyes.
Interesting. Does anyone know how this turned out? encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...
Two words: Leg cramps. Electrolytes do wonders if suffering from these.
This is a fantastic documentary!
Thanks for doing the town hall. So many diverse questions and great to hear your responses, even when some weren't satisfying to me. Glad to hear of your proactive efforts with the Resistance Lab to help us fight authoritarianism.
Based on her body language and response to a question about this, I think she's re-looking at who she endorsed. It will be interesting to see.
One questioner did ask about that, and she stated that she could not speak to endorsements in this forum. Something to do with a congressional rule. Anyway, she pivoted and said congratulated both candidates.

Contact HHS and leave a message: 877-696-6775 Contact Senator Cassidy who thought it was a good idea to vote for Kennedy: easy form on his website When enough people call, they might change their minds.
It's easy, easy to contact Cassidy's office via his website. I just wrote a message asking him to get involved and reverse this horrible decision.
I think they may be referring to 2014 - the Maidan revolution - that booted out the Russian-sponsored pres.
Just did this as well. Thanks for the added info.
RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.
we all said that as well!
Yikes! Camped at Westport, WA a couple of times. They've got a multi-level school set up as the tsunami evacuation spot for the town.
Unexpectedly good politics from Thomas Kinkade's family! www.kinkadefamilyfoundation.org
Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together. Help keep it strong. Join our monthly donors today: n.pr/458sOhq
Wow, that's great! Maybe people won't need to wear masks anymore when they're on the road? Or still too many cars/trucks spewing fumes??

Contrails, hands down.
That's interesting. All of the reading I've done and my doc say it's CREATED primarily in the ovaries, but also adrenals. It's USED throughout the body. Here's a summary of amazing research from last year, how they see it used in the brain. www.neurologylive.com/view/unveili...
Also: Thailand, Mexico, India, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Iceland, Canada
Possibly. But it's a cohort of legit physicians who care for 50% of the population who have been campaigning for this for years. Only 3% of menopausal women are on HRT. How many older men are on Viagra or testosterone? When your eyes stop working do you shun glasses b/c that industry benefits?
Estrogen receptors exist in ALL cells in the body. You have them too, no matter your sex.
Australia, UK, South Africa have removed warnings. So, if it's a war against women in the USA, then yes, "culture war".
The doctors who have been advocating for this change, have been working on this LONG BEFORE this admin. Listen to the real specialists on this one. Maybe time for black box on Viagra or testosterone for men??
The WHI study has been de-bunked. Those black box warnings are b/c of that. Dig in and be aware you're going to learn a lot about how women are adversely treated by the medical community! (We REALLY need black box on alcohol though.)
If you use google, in your search enter "[what you're looking for] -AI" and the search will come back w/out AI results. I understand there's a way to disable it, but haven't figured out yet. This saves energy too!
When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet
For sure. Under Peter Thiel's command.
Heard Ron Deibert from Uni of Toronto speak about this last year. He quoted that every AI search uses 7x energy than an old-style google search. You can type in "... -AI" to tell google search not to use AI. He's written about impact of soc med to society www.journalofdemocracy.org/articles/the...
...and MANY other books over the decades to try to grasp how humanity can do such a thing to each other.
Thank you for this. I appreciate your perspective and will give it much deeper thought. Can you recommend anything I can read that articulates further why it's considered an insult to compare other atrocities like this to the Holocaust? I've read Power's A Problem from Hell and Sands' East West St.
Horrific. It reminds me of pictures from WWII, when people were found/liberated from the camps. Put on some striped 'pajamas' and it may resonate with more for those with generational memory of that horrific time.
Research this first. In Alberta (unsure about BC), there are only a subset of pharms that will do it if you don't have provincial healthcare.
