SURVEILLANCE DOES NOT MAKE US SAFER

Flock is a surveillance company that sells Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPR) and partners with Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) and law enforcement to target people during immigration raids and to investigate people who travel for abortion care. Dozens of cities across the nation have already taken a stand and canceled their Flock contracts – you have the power to get yours to do the same. We’ve compiled this resource to help you join the principled community of people fighting against surveillance, drawing upon winning strategies and resources from activists on the ground.

Anniversary, Americans with Disabilities Act: July 26, 2026

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), signed into law by then-President George H.W. Bush in 1990, is the nation’s strongest measure protecting the civil rights of people with disabilities. It bars discrimination based on disability and guarantees equal access to public buildings and businesses, employment opportunities, transportation, telecommunications, commercial facilities, and state and local government services.

The following facts are possible thanks to the invaluable responses to U.S. Census Bureau surveys. We appreciate the public’s cooperation as we measure America’s people and economy.

Max Needs Your Help

Max has weeks. Not months. Weeks!

Max is 15 and out of time. 42 million registered donors and 0 perfect matches exist for Max. A cheek swab takes 5 minutes. If you are age 18-35 you could be the one.

"I'm posting this because I need your help to save my son."

Max was six when his blood first told a story no parent wants to hear. Low platelets. Low red cells. Low white cells. For years, doctors watched. In December 2024, his numbers dropped again. A bone marrow biopsy revealed what his doctors called "pink flags." The doctors said they should add a transplant doctor to Max's care team.

The diagnosis: a rare blood disorder that, left untreated, will become MDS — a type of blood cancer that can progress to acute myeloid leukemia. This type affects fewer than 1 in 1,000,000 children. The only cure is a stem cell transplant. The only way to get a transplant is to find a donor.

But Max still doesn't have a match.

Please follow the link below and go to Swab for Max and register to be a blood stem cell donor and request your free cheek swab kit. It only takes 5 minutes to swab your cheek and then PLEASE SEND IT BACK TO THE LAB IMMEDIATELY! 

Thank you! Together we can find a perfect match for Max.

Back to Blogging

This post is the beginning of a series about the mustard seed. I haven't published any new blog posts in quite a while mostly due to just being caught up in the every day things that seem to make time fly by. Before you know it it's been more than year. I am sure that some time has gone by with me just procrasinating and I guess you could call it writer's block. I have been struggling with finding the perfect topic to create a blog post that is something to mark my return to my blog. I can't really say that Mustard fills that need but considering my blog content and style I figure Mustard just might be a great subject to make a come back post.

I have always had an interest in herbs and their benefits as well as all the alternative methods such as aromatherapy and of course one of my favorites is the ancient mythology behind herbs. Mustard or the Mustard seed falls into all of those categories with so many uses that I have decided to make a great come back with a series blog post which is something new to my blog but I have faith in it being a very good decision. I have a personal connection to the power of Mustard as it has on so many occasions relieved severe leg cramps that my husband experiences. More on that in the final chapter of this series so please join me in discovering the amazing Mustard seed.
