Visited Mฤlama I Ke Ola Health Center to mahalo their team for caring for Mauiโ€™s most vulnerable, from keiki to kลซpuna. With over 50% of their funding from Medicaid, the Big Ugly Law threatens their lifesaving work.

There is only one choice: Reopen government AND protect life saving healthcare.

Residents of a Chicago apartment building say dozens of ICE & FBI agents stormed the building, zip-tying children, flash-banging hallways, and detaining residents โ€” including U.S. citizens. This is horrifying and Un-American!

Leaving Denialism Behind: My 20 Year Journey I was anti-vaccine before it went mainstream. Before COVID, before Wakefield, and before even the internet.

"Misinformation can convince anyone if the circumstances are right. When I started my anti-vaccine journey, I was among leftwing homeschoolers. When the HPV vaccine was authorized, vaccine fears became a sort of gateway drug for conservative antivaxxers."

Routine Access To Childhood Vaccinations No Longer Guaranteed - Honolulu Civil Beat Hawaii should be prepared to allocate funding for childhood vaccines in our state if federal funding is cut.

I know thereโ€™s serious news, but this? Too good not to share.

Gavin Newsomโ€™s office just posted a clip of EMPEROR PALPATINE reading Trumpโ€™s unhinged Truth Social rant about the L.A. protests.

Itโ€™s trolling at its finest.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.

You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.

Get your lies straight.
