I'm a purist who believes posts are meant to be ephemeral and "pinning" them is sacrilegious, like forcing the wind to stay in a shoebox

1. This is a cool local business selling original designs.

2. Proceeds go to a good cause.

3. This makes me wonder if Abolish ICE will finally make a serious run in the city’s snowplow naming contest this year.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

🧵:
The world’s extremely poor are also often extremely remote, with limited access to healthcare & health education. In many developing countries, the government—often with the help of the UN and, until this year, USAID—maintains health posts that bring these services to people living off the grid.
