2. For Dec 25, what's the risk of COVID?

8-10 people (small gathering) = 25% chance someone is infectious

20 people (visiting two families) = 47% chance

100 people (flight, restaurant, etc.) = 96% chance

Limit gatherings, #MaskUp, #VaxUp, Test/Isolate, #CleanTheAir “

Bad.

10 people (daycare, team meeting) = 17% chance someone is infectious

30 people (classroom) = 43% chance

50 people (lecture, restaurant) = 61% chance

2/3

Do tell.

“One of #Trump's current attorneys told #JackSmith's team that, within days of DOJ issuing a subpoena last year for all classified #documents at Mar-a-Lago, she "very clearly" warned Trump that if he failed to fully comply -- but then swore he did -- "it's going to be a crime”..

Sources said the lawyer, Jennifer Little, told investigators Trump "absolutely" understood the warning” #legal

How about a law making it illegal for voters to have to stand in line for hours and hours? We all know what the GOP is up to.

The Missed Chance for Peace
Oct. 12, 2023

Throughout this horrible week, my mind has repeatedly flashed back to Dec. 23, 2000. That was the day the Palestinians were offered a path to having their own nation on roughly 95 percent of the land in the West Bank and 100 percent of the land in the Gaza Strip. Under that outline, Israel would also swap some of its own land to compensate the Palestinians in exchange for maintaining 80 percent of its settler presence in the West Bank.

The Palestinians would control, in President Bill Clinton’s formulation, “Arab areas” of East Jerusalem. And on the most sensitive religious sites, there would have been divided sovereignty or jurisdiction, with Palestinians controlling the Haram al-Sharif (including the Aqsa and Dome of the Rock mosques) and Israel controlling the Western Wall and the holy space of which it is a part.

I'm really tired of people reporting posts about freeing Palestine and calling for a ceasefire and end to the genocide.

Israel does not equal all Jewish people, especially those in the diaspora. There are millions of Jewish people who march FOR Palestine because they take the phrase "Never Again" seriously. It's harmful to equate Israeli government and military with all Jewish people. Stop it.

We must fight to END ALL genocides regardless of who perpetuates it. Thanks.

Reminder: if you are a conservative and publish a book, there is a good chance some wealthy person will buy a bunch of copies of the book just to get you on the bestseller list.

But if you're the lady who babbles about "Jewish space lasers," maybe not so much.

Sometimes you realize that you're seeing the same view that others have seen, hundreds of years earlier.

“Let me get this straight. After wailing and moaning for ten months about Hunter Biden and alluding to some vast unproven family conspiracy, after sending Hunter Biden a subpoena to appear and testify, Chairman Comer and the Oversight Republicans now reject his offer to appear before the full Committee and the eyes of the world and to answer any questions that they pose?" - Rep. Jamie Raskin, ranking member of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability

Hunter Biden: Sure, I'll Testify, But Let's Make It Public, Mkay?

As an atheist…I don’t believe in the concept of heaven or hell. But, if there’s a chance that I’m wrong, my wish is that Richard E. Dyke resides eternally in the lowest depths of the latter. As for Sen. Susan Collins, I hope she chokes on her thoughts & prayers.
