The paradox of prevention: if you successfully prevent the Very Bad Thing from happening, a whole lot of people conclude there was no Very Bad Thing and therefore no reason to continue working to prevent it.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

![On October 3, 2025, Secretary Noem spoke to agents at the Broadview facility before
they began their shift. She said:
When we leave here, we’re going to go hard. We’re going to
hammer these guys who are advocating for violence against the
American people. What they are doing is advocating to harm not
just you and your colleagues but your families and they’re doxing
your identities and victimizing people every day by the way that
they’re talking, speaking, who they’re affiliated with, who they’re
funded with, and what they’re talking about as far as consequences
for what we’re doing by protecting this country. So we’re going to
go out there and we’re going to make sure that there’s
consequences for the way that they’re behaving, and then we’re
going to prosecute them. We’re going to bring them to justice.
We’re not taking this anymore. . . . We’re going to give you guys
all the authority that you need to arrest these individuals who are
advocating for violence against you.
Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson), X (Oct. 3, 2025 1:05 p.m.), https://x.com/bennyjohnson/
status/1974174065985470970. Bovino followed up by telling the agents:
You’re going to be put in full effect . . . That crowd there is, is an
unsafe crowd on either side. . . . And when they resist, what
happens? They get arrested. So it’s now going to be a free arrest
zone. And, I’ll give them one warning that that’ll be for safety of,
of us and the Secretary to leave. So they’re getting it here as soon
as we leave.
Id. Secretary Noem finished by stating, “[m]ake sure that these individuals are not allowed to
conduct this kind of activity anymore.” Id.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreig2d3dv5uenevfeysdwtzufmkdzaesuprpyomamh3fmnnaq3xq3se@jpeg)

When Congress passes a law requiring the release of the Epstein files in 30 days, the FBI hires Lee and Carter to find the documents that mysteriously went missing months earlier. The only problem? Someone really doesn’t want them to find those files—and that someone just happens to be the president

During his confirmation hearing, RFK Jr. swore under oath that he would not remove or alter CDC language stating that vaccines do NOT cause autism.
He lied.
He lied.
The CDC website under RFK Jr. now argues that we “can’t say vaccines don’t cause autism” because studies haven’t ruled out every possible scenario.
It’s wild to see this misunderstanding of science on a federal health website, but it’s also an opportunity to explain how the scientific process works

Said with love but there is a tone deafness in the "just write your spec!" advice that seems to be totally ignored in the current climate.
It works if you're repped. If reps are taking new clients. If places are buying A LOT. If rooms are staffing unknowns/lower levels. If not? It's a platitude.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
