It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

So last night as I was wondering why Pam Bondi diverted almost 200 National Security attorneys who should be chasing hackers and spies to redact the Epstein files, I remembered that John Eisenberg, who heads it, is the guy who altered the Trump-Zelenskyy transcript.

Another path being ignored.
The importance of Far-UVCs ability to destroy multiple pathogens simultaneously *outside the human host* cannot be overstated. Leaving no mutational space to explore, it literally creates an evolutionary DEAD END for replicating entities.

There’s room for somebody on the left to wrap themselves in the flag a little & make a point that the right’s rejection of America as a creedal nation—and their ad hoc, ahistorical effort to make it an ethnonationalist project instead—is distinctly *unamerican,* a rejection of the national project.
If immigrating from England makes you a "heritage American" then I guess I'm one too.

The best way to keep our loved ones safe is to alert the community whenever possible. Whistles are one of the most accessible tools to warn neighbors and disrupt ICE incursions.
Come pick up a whistle, if you need one!

People who do persuasion work for Dems will disagree. They’ll say let Republicans eat themselves alive over Trump’s Reiner comments, while we maintain disciplined focus on the cost of living. This sounds savvy, but I maintain it is not. www.offmessage.net/p/reiner-mur...
