Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.
ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

as an American with a British girlfriend and therefore regular access to both the media narratives and normie vibes of a completely different information ecosystem than ours, can confirm that things are Not Looking Great! they’re still mad at us for dragging their troops into Iraq & Afghanistan
But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.

The combination of the medical system collapse + health insurance + Heritage Foundation's desire to collapse ACA, Medicare, and Medicaid + the rising ages of Boomers is about to hit an incredibly ugly moment in this country in the next few years.

Look at that picture. It conveys so much.
Anger, vindictiveness, a man who can’t control himself, a danger to those around him and, unfortunately, the world.

An 823-word health insurance plan that forgets pre-existing conditions is like a fire insurance policy that doesn’t mention fire. Bold choice.

I think I've lost the plot. I'm considering a GoFundMe to have my father's inpatient rehab paid for if insurance won't cover. Or going into further debt and not telling him.

Irish PM: Apple and Google should remove X from app stores but the government will continue to use it. Joined up thinking, right there.
He did say Apple & Google should remove it from app stores.
He also said the Govt wouldn’t give “kneejerk” response by immediately coming off X, saying other platforms have issues too.
I interjected to say those other platforms don’t generate CSAM.
He accepts that but said other issues exist.

Here's a not short recap:
12 (currently) days in the hospital
Day 3 they realize - whoa, he has 4 abscesses, no wonder he's sick
D4 surgery
D6 switch to IV antibiotics
During all of this and 6 days prior went from standing and turning 180 to unable to stand or push body anywhere

This was my guess, they’re using rentals to shuttle all their out-of-town employees around in.
It wouldn’t be safe for anyone involved to use a rental car, including the driver, and they may hate all of us, but they care about not hurting themselves.

Used to work in this business years ago.
We used to rent to the feds and we had contract language that said they could not use our vehicles for "law enforcement" activities (pursuits, detention of suspects etc.). Might be worthwhile to ask the rental companies about that.

Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.
Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.
