Speed is essential for containing foodborne illness outbreaks. But after intense lobbying from the food industry — which spends millions on political donations — Congress delayed safeguards that might have helped contain cyclospora more quickly.

The US midterms are not about choosing a politician this year; they’re about choosing between people who want to serve the public and a criminal GOP that wants to continue to rob it blind & destroy what’s left of the United States for its external and billionaire backers.

Peacefull Observers

To Our Beloved Guardian Angels,

In these times of profound trial, when darkness sought to engulf our community, you emerged as beacons of unwavering light. When fear gripped our hearts and the very fabric of our existence trembled under the shadow of masked agents-when we were hunted, chased, and made to feel as strangers in the place we call home- you stood tall. You stood with us.

With courage that defied the chill of winter winds and compassion that warmed the coldest nights, you became our shield. You left the comfort of your daily lives, your workplaces, your routines, to stand guard at our doors. You brought us the gift of warning-the loud sirens that pierced the silence of impending danger, giving us precious moments to seek shelter, to protect our children, to preserve our dignity.

You did not merely observe; you acted. You confronted hatred face-to-face. You stood between us and the agents of fear, becoming the voice for the voiceless, the strength for the weary, and the hope for the hopeless. In your presence, we found sanctuary. In your resolve, we found resilience.

Your bravery is a testament to the boundless capacity of the human spirit. You stood against the tides of xenophobia, Islamophobia, and every form of prejudice that seeks to divide humanity.
You embodied the highest ideals of human dignity, honor, and solidarity. You reminded us-and the world-that America's true strength lies in its embrace of those who seek refuge, its promise of freedom, and its unwavering stand for justice.

Your sacrifice will echo through generations. We will tell our children, and they will tell theirs, of the guardian angels who stood tall when hate knocked at our doors. Your legacy is etched in the heart of our community-a living history of compassion without limits, courage without borders.

(Alt text continues on second picture, because Bluesky has a 2000 character limit on alt text for some reason)

You are the reason hope still shines. You are the reason America remains a home for the persecuted, a land where freedom rings true. We love you. We honor you. We will never forget what you have done.

May God bless you, protect you, and keep you close. Your light will forever guide us.

With Eternal Gratitude, The Community You Saved
