The people of PR don't have a vote in the federal government, but I do. I am asking you as my representative to have the USACE look into alternative solutions. Green infrastructure has made much progress in the 40 years since this project was planned.

@doggett.house.gov In San Juan, Puerto Rico the US Army Corps of Engineers is about to convert over 6 miles of the Rio Piedras into a concrete canyon in the name of flood control. In May I toured some of the neighborhoods that will be impacted.

What is war like? This is Kregg Jorgenson who was shot while CBS News was filming in Vietnam in 1970. In this interview, 45 years later, he talks about that day and after.

Scary & sobering.

I hope we are not about to send more young people to get shot far from home.

This sounds horrible. Is there more to it than peas that are mushy?

Arts and Science should have stayed as a single college. Once they broke up in the 70's we've been on this trajectory of divide and conquer.

Remember folks, you're not in traffic, you are traffic.

But don't worry. The I-35 rebuild will make it all better by 2032 when the Austin metropolitan area will be (checks notes) about 3 million people.

It's fine.

Kid just said, "I don't think I'd like Jesus. He seems like he'd be real into himself, and I just don't like that "

Update: I'm currently on the phone with the pharmacy and whatever company pays my deductible, they are recording each other as they talk about my prescription. This feels like I am in the movie "Brazil".

What scam is this? I'm sure I'm being counted as a loss somewhere by multiple companies that are getting a tax break. It feels like I'm being shaken down by the mob.

I know that this has been discussed already, but health insurance in the USA is crazy. My insurance decided that my medicine was too expensive, so they forced my Dr to move me to a generic, which still costs $thousands. I'm supposed to pay part, but the drug co has a program that pays for me.

My kid works as a host, and she got Karened pretty hard yesterday. A woman told her she had nice hair, and then as my kid walked away, the lady grabbed her ponytail. The lady's husband told her that it was not ok, and then the woman turned to my kid and said, "Oh you don't mind, do ya honey?"

This is using sm for good. Spreading info that I would be otherwise unlikely to encounter. That was a hard read, but I prefer to know what's going on than live in ignorance.

this has been published for over a week. somehow we are all just finding out about this. when an entire administration begins to target a marginalized community to erasure at a voluptuous degree, stories like this go under the radar.

SHAME on mainstream media for not making this story known.

Early citizens of the USA never imagined or intended the Constitution to last forever. We have failed them by acting like it is a religious document instead of a legal/political one.
