The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

My job is to produce health information for the general reader in the UK. Not just me, part of a biggish team.
I have a list of trusted internet sources that can be used for research.
Yesterday, I had to take the CDC website off that list.

If you’re more concerned with “scammers” on SNAP than you are with the billionaires who are scamming us out of millions… you’re part of the problem.
There’s very little fraud within SNAP because it’s hard to get.
I would rather someone eat who might not need it, then everyone go hungry

Did you know a former White House climate advisor flipped a GOP stronghold in Virginia by running entirely on putting a stop to more AI data centers?
For @heatmap.news I profiled John McAuliff and a campaign that will be a roadmap for all future anti-AI politicians moving forward.

Practicing Catholics believe that failure to receive the Eucharist is a mortal in that will land them in Hell. As if ICE detainment isn't cruel and unusual enough, it also puts those imprisoned in hell in the next life too
BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty.
“They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”
