Gift Article: I can’t say it any more clearly: The US and Russia are now allies. With Ukraine not having a seat at the table, the US has joined forces with Russia in its war against Ukraine. Australians need to know what our national position is. 🕊️💙🦋 #auspol www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

True story: when my older boys were little, they both got whooping cough even though they were vaccinated. It was bad. We asked the pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. They would’ve died, he said. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
