"If we ever got to the point in which a president was sending the military into cities for purely political reasons, aggressive policing wouldn’t be our most urgent problem. Our most urgent problem would be authoritarianism.

And so here we are."

"Losing my job, meant my wife and I lost our health insurance. My health continues to suffer and I have been spending all of my time searching for a new job so I can continue to get health insurance for my family and I can get the medication I need to help keep me alive."

'Oh we *can* keep you alive ... but only on subscription'.

This is monstrous. I'm so sorry to hear that this happened to you Matt : (

And other systemic changes other than air pollution too, ofc

Like: Become a member of an organization, talk positively about good policies in your friend group, going to a local hearing and speak in support of new bicycle infrastructure, donate and/or volunteer for a candidate, etc. For your health

"The Trump administration will move to pull the COVID vaccine off the U.S. market “within months,” one of RFK Jr.’s closest associates has told the Daily Beast.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist who has repeatedly claimed in the face of scientific consensus that the vaccines are more dangerous than the virus, told the Daily Beast that Kennedy’s stance is shared by “influential” members of trump’s family."

Ideology trumps science.

Rolling out a yoga mat and flowing with your breath may just be one of the best ways to improve your sleep in the long run. A meta-analysis of 30 randomized controlled trials found that regular, high intensity yoga outperformed walking, resistance training, combination workouts, aerobic exercise, and even traditional practices like tai chi and qigong when it came to improving sleep for people of all ages with sleep struggles.
The takeaway? Inhale calm, exhale stress and drift into more restful, restorative sleep naturally.
