The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.

The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.

They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

Reminder that one of the punkest acts of resistance against fascism is putting a mask on in shared air.

It immediately marks you as a brave and safe person for disabled folks. It’s not easy to stick out, yeah.

BREAKING: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson defies President Trump by leading a "no troops in Chicago!"

An apartment complex. A headline reads: "Did Switzerland Solve The Housing Crisis?"

The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...

I just donated to support the National Covid Memorial. Join me in ensuring every person lost to Covid is remembered by name, photo, and story—not just as a statistic. #RememberEveryOne Donate now.

Behind every Covid statistic is a name, a face, a story. Our RememberEveryOne campaign is building the National Covid Memorial to honor all 1.2+ million people lost in the U.S.—not as numbers, but as people. Help us make history: Watch, share, and donate. actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

An oldie but a goodie!!!!

I used to throw up as well, something changed in the standard protocol in the last decade. My recent hysterectomy was a breeze. Hope your post-op is breezy!

Watching the wildfires worsen and spread in my home state every year while people are actively denying climate change feels hella dystopian.
