Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

#FEMA folks are organizing a rally. It’s a ways off but let’s save the date. Share this shamelessly & let everyone know whether it’s your fellow FEMA employees or allies in the DMV area.

Scotch Whisky Truths 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @specialscot.bsky.social · 2d

For instance, Scotch Whisky isn't at all Scottish.

It has been a HMRC cashcow, for 202 years.

UK Duty is now a ridiculous 75%.

It's also 25% of ALL UK Food and Drink Exports.

Just ONE example.

The UK isn't remotely equitable.

We need Scottish Independence.

No country can reach it's full potential while it's neighbour holds most of the fiscal powers over it,while it's neighbour can prevent it from doing anything it wants by invoking a S35 and while it's neighbour takes it's resources and keeps the taxes from it for itself.Only independence does that.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 4d

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

What am I going to do with the newly upgraded Jewish Space Laser, model 300-A in my back yard, then?
I can donate the cartons of soup, but the brownies aren't going anywhere.

Every time that I see a cardinal, I know it's a message from my beloved Grandmother. They were her favorite, so her garden was full of their preferred flowers.
She said whenever I saw one to remember her hugs and her unconditional love.

I was in a Publix this morning, and not a single employee would admit that they had heard of the policy that has been in place since September 25.
Not even the front-end manager.

SkyeMac @skyemac.bsky.social · 5d

Seems awfully dead already. I have been urging friends and family not to visit. It's not safe.

SkyeMac @skyemac.bsky.social · 5d

I wonder why no employee claimed to be aware of this, including the front manager.
Somehow, rubbing elbows with a person who feels so unsafe in the store that they need a Glock or ak47 doesn't make shopping a pleasure (their motto) for
me.
