White House instructs agencies to mandate masks indoors in DC | TheHill
The White House has instructed federal agencies in Washington, D.C., and other areas where there is a high degree of community transmission of the coronavirus to require employees, contractors and visitors to wear masks indoors regardless of their vaccination status.
The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) sent a memo to agencies Tuesday evening with the new instructions after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its mask guidance saying fully vaccinated Americans should wear face coverings indoors in areas of the country where there is “substantial” or “high” transmission.
Those who are not vaccinated have previously been told to wear masks.

3 Misconceptions about Kindness. — Exhortations With Shazzy

Taken from the Oxford dictionary, kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. As a little girl, I used to be kind to almost everyone around me.

The Rise of the American Left and Nina Turner: What Her Win Would Mean
Today I would like to share another post by our new blogging friend Quentin over at WeTheCommoners. Quentin talks a bit about some of the up-and-coming new faces in the Democratic Party, or the ‘Left’, and then he posits that the new blood in the party needs to stand firm, that they aren’t being forceful enough and have been afraid to utilize their power.

The power of light can ignite
Dispel darkness, a token of sight
The prism of perception
Knowledge of comprehension.
Evidence of Almighty’s might

Light is pristine, infinite
Outruns sound,lightsome flight
Planet’s sparkling effulgence
Sky indulges the opulence.
Religion of goodness upholds
When light of faith, a soul holds.
Jamaican Government to improve coordination of support to students in Cuba
In my last post, I referred to a radio interview with Jamaican students in Cuba, who are struggling – mainly due to a lack of food. Here is a fairly lengthy response from Jamaica’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade.
I note also that the People’s National Party (PNP), which has a historically close relationship with Cuba’s Communist regime, says it is “exploring ways” to assist. It goes on to say:
Cuba’s economic challenges are compounded by an economic blockade against the country and made worse by the impacts of the COVID 19 pandemic.
It commends the Jamaican Parliament for its role in Jamaica’s consistent and principled position of rejecting the blockade against Cuba and calling for its end.
The PNP says it’s also important to reject what it calls cyber warfare, and misinformation being waged against the Cuban people and the government.
