@ericlipton.nytimes.com such a nice note about Dan. ❤️

So grateful for the warm welcome from everyone at The Washington Post today. I was honored to be there for the announcement of the Public Service Pulitzer award that included work by my friend and ex husband @daneggen.bsky.social An honor to be there and to film the moment for our kids.

Thank you #BobDylan for the Outlaw tour (I was even named after your Bard College gf) Your new Where’s Waldo approach of hiding in shadows behind a hoodie created an audience disconnect. Tho your voice resonates. Still feel lucky to have heard him.

On a slightly personal note, I always post on #national suicide prevention day in honor of my Dad, James Peterson, a freedom rider who was shot at for his work who took his life when I was almost 4. Please know you are not alone. Call 988. People care and it is vital we break down stigmas. ❤️

As sources of vaccine info move away from CDC and fragment — to doctors, state health departments, professional societies — this is who the public trusts:

"Kennedy wants to see the Pfizer and Moderna messenger RNA-based covid-19 vaccines pulled from the market, according to two people familiar with the planning who asked not to be identified because they’re not authorized to speak to the press," @stephaniearmour.bsky.social reports.

Insider Sources say that RFK’s plan is to pull all COVID shots from US As COVID spikes again.
