Dear friends in #Gaza, I cannot help you financially. I’m scraping by as it is and I hate that I can’t do more for you all. Multiple messages a day on multiple platforms and the most I can do is share your fundraisers.

I will still do that, to be clear, but I absolutely cannot donate for now.

I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

I didn't think that this voicemail message for this municipal district a thousand miles away would make me cry, but it did.

I'd say these guys need to be running the country but they seem to be exactly where they need to be
this is not our customer service number. it’s just my voicemail inbox.

you’re welcome to call. i hope you do.

Man I FAR prefer when I’m only responsible for bringing a couple things to the big holiday meal. Especially when those things are a side and desserts.

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.

And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.
Trump appears to blurt out secret plan, not knowing it's already a bust

I am BEGGING! My son, who just survived starvation, is now soaked and exposed. His little body is too weak for this winter. I saved him from hunger, don't let the cold take him! Our collapsed tent means certain death. Give my child a chance.

When President Trump first deployed the National Guard, he said the troops would help tamp down on violent crime in D.C.

But their presence has largely been symbolic, outside of several controversial incidents.

What happens now that a federal judge has ruled the deployment unlawful?

The 2,300 Guardsmen aren’t headed home just yet, though.

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

I went to immigration court in Seattle to observe the kids docket. These children, some as young as three years old, are expected to understand complex legal processes and represent themselves in court.

That’s not due process.

The amount of illegal this is is a lot.
SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership.

All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:
FEMA employee terminated for signing whistleblower letter
It appears to be a major violation of federal whistleblower protections and constitutional rights.

precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

Mystery why so many kids are struggling with mental health when we're doing the "let it rip" strategy for Covid transmission in schools
#COVID patients have higher rates of #depression, #anxiety, #headache, and #fatigue before diagnosis, study suggests

The association may be explained by shared biological pathways, such as chronic inflammation and neuroinflammation.

National Guard soldiers didn't sign up to be deployed as local police indefinitely as part of someone else's political stunt.

They're not set up to be local police, they never should have been deployed.

As a part of the Gaza ceasefire, Israeli forces left yellow-painted square concrete boulders to mark where Palestinians cannot go past without being fired upon. Last week, Israeli forces expanded this so-called “yellow line” further into what’s left of neighborhoods in the bombed-out Gaza Strip.
