Having two #cats with lymphoma has addled my brain and broken my heart. One has renal cancer and his decline is happening rapidly. They have been the best friends to each other and to me.

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

As we’ve been saying for months, X’s new location feature is exposing what we’ve been warning about, many of the loudest MAGA accounts aren’t even in the USA. We’ve been tracking this behavior and helping people learn how to spot bot activity, and this update has made it easier than ever to see.

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Incoming *Mayor. But sabotage by Harrell and his corporate ilk seems predictable
if I HAD been in town today I probably would have asked outgoing Mayor Harrell why his budget for next year sets up a huge fiscal cliff for incoming ,ayor Wilson, using one-time funding for long-term needs and assuming nine-figure deficits starting in next year's budget cycle

Anyone else suddenly getting a lot of new (questionable) followers in the last 4 days? Some with photos that are suspiciously looking like AI created sex-bots and if they have posts at all, they have never had a single thought of their own?

Language buried in this shutdown “deal” allows 8 GOP Senators who tried to throw a coup, sue to get millions in taxpayer money—because Jack Smith got their phone records. THEY TRIED TO THROW A COUP. There is no excuse for any Dem supporting this. This is absolutely wrong. Full stop—Period.

They weren’t “negotiations”.

They were discussions on the terms of surrender.

“White flag” Democrats need to be shown the door.
