masculine and feminine are a complimentary whole in yinyang fashion… yinyang philosophy maintains… when masculine and feminine energies get out of balance, disaster is imminent… white, christian, patriarchal masculinity dominates the present moment… i don’t know if we can rebalanced before the point of disaster… we must try…

The cost of efficiency - by Katelyn Jetelina
Efficiency isn’t just about cutting budgets. Every public health dollar should work to its fullest potential for Americans. Prevention and early intervention are investments that yield returns of 2 to 60 times their cost by reducing healthcare spending, improving workforce productivity, and making communities safer.

On Friday, President Donald Trump issued an executive order “protecting Second Amendment rights.” The order calls for Attorney General Pam Bondi to examine all gun regulations in the U.S. to make sure they don’t infringe on any citizen’s right to bear arms. The executive order says that the Second Amendment “is foundational to maintaining all other rights held by Americans.”

In trying times like these, sharing your story is your superpower. Policies are abstract until they have a human face. Show people (rather than tell them) why changes are bad (or good) for the health of Americans and our country. The collection of stories and experiences helps to demand a response from and hold our elected leaders accountable.
