MobilizeHands Off! Upper Valley Rises UP! · Hands Off**Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them.** The Upper Valley is fighting back! They're taking everything they can get their hands on—our health care, our data, our jobs, our services—and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now. 🚨 **On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!** 🚨 📍 Where: 100 Railroad Row, WRJ, VT 05001 📅 When: 1pm April 5, 2025 This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country. A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Check out handsoff2025.com for more information.

I don't usually (almost never!) do product recommendations on here but here goes. This is brought to the fore because it's featured on a local news story about #Vermont’s anti PFAS initiative.

Got onboard with this about 6 months ago and have been super happy.

Dr Tung's Dental Floss

Definitely expensive, but very nice to use, more effective, and PFAF free.

Don’t buy from Amazon, but directly:

Vermont DOH: Vermont Department of Health Confirms Case of Measles

3/11/2025

"WATERBURY, VT — The Vermont Department of Health has confirmed a case of measles in a school-aged child in Lamoille County. The child became sick after returning with their family from traveling internationally in recent days. The risk to the public is believed to be low, as the child has been isolated from most community settings while they have been contagious. Investigation is ongoing.

This is the first case of measles in Vermont in 2025, following two cases in 2024 and two cases in the decade prior, one in 2011 and one in 2018. This case is not related to the three ongoing domestic outbreaks of measles in the United States or to the current measles outbreak in Québec. "

New to the thread? I take a look at different events calendars for things going on in #NewEngland and compile the highlights. This is my little 'community building' project, because we should have nice things here.

My focus is primarily on things close to home for me - #SomervilleMA primarily and the #greaterBoston region too - but if I know about something big going in #Vermont or #Maine, I'll let you know about it. Suggestions and recommendations are welcome! Follow me or the BostonWeekend tag to keep this in your feed every week. I hope this helps to encourage you to get out and recharge so you're well prepared for whatever comes next week.
