I have to commend Senator Bernie Sanders for wearing a high quality N-95 mask during the State Of the Union address. #Covid19 isn't over, and he's the only person I've noticed in today's joint session acknowledging it. Mind you, I'm only a few minutes in and a few hours behind! 23 #sotu #sotu2023 #Covid

To anyone who thinks #Covid is over:

A healthcare provider office a family member goes to had *TEN* cancellations yesterday because of Covid.

By my math there's 32 appointments in a day.

That's OVER 30% !!!!!

Now she makes camouflage for Ukranian snipers. (PHOTOS) #Ukraine #News #War #Russia

A man in Moscow has been charged with discrediting the military (misdemeanor) for reposting a photo of a Leningrad Siege survivor carrying a "No to war" sign and a note that said, "A siege survivor — wTith a 'No to War' poster. The cops — dragged her away. Just think about it."
