I very much follow to learn from folks.
I would never claim to speak on behalf of any organization or group. My shares and thoughts are representative of a moment.

It’s gonna be so miserable to fly this holiday season for everyone but those with the means and questionable ethics to fly privately.
TSA workers were told sick calls will bring “appropriate accountability measures to the fullest extent possible” after the shutdown ends—but airport screeners told Forbes such threats would likely backfire.

SNAP is a wage issue, not an issue of individual failures. It is a government subsidy for businesses for when wages are insufficient for buy food.
Without SNAP businesses (grocery stores) will likely make up income with higher prices. If wages remain low, *food* will be out of reach for millions.

70% of working age SNAP recipients work full time. The companies should pay them a living wage! SNAP is corporate welfare.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

This is wrong and should not happen.
Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."

The anti-trans right heavily praised Gordon Guyatt as the “godfather” of evidence based medicine.
He worked for SEGM and was responsible for their GRADE reviews.
Now he disavows them, says evidence supports transgender youth care.

For years, medical professionals and transgender advocates have been saying the "Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine" was not following the principles of evidenced-based medicine.
Now the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine is leveraging the same claim against them. (1/)

Here's what we know as of Saturday morning. If White House figures are to be believed, the U.S. has killed 17 people on ships in the Caribbean this month.
The US hit ANOTHER boat in the Caribbean today. Trump shared video of it, again accusing the crew of being drug traffickers. With 3 allegedly killed, this brings the total killed in all 3 attacks to 17 this month, per White House figures. New @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/us-thir...
