You know who’s been eerily quiet 🤐 ever since the election? Pastors/preachers/priests. They couldn’t stop 🛑 breaking the law to tell people HOW to vote 🗳️, now it seems they won’t speak up 🆙 to comfort, encourage, teach, or help in direct ways. America needs new leadership in every aspect. 🇺🇸

Why aren’t our chickens vaccinated against Bird flu, when one already exists and other countries like China vaccinate? Instead of slaughtering millions of chickens, burying them, and paying farmers tax $ for the loss?

cc: @Gavin Newsome It’s time to build a CDC & NIH in California with the folks who were fired from the feds. In fact, I think each blue state governor needs to scoop up these scientists, healthcare workers and laboratory workers asap. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

Happy Valentine’s Day! I know this day hurts some people b/c of what they lack (I’m single too), but I turn it around & remember all the love in my life I do have, & remember that I need to love myself also. *Today is my chronic myeloid leukemia diagnosis anniversary. My ex was out of town.
