Hello-

I am running this 5K tomorrow and I’m soooo close to my goal of raising $5K for @hofoco.org.

Even if you can’t donate a repost would be 😍. We rescue millions of pounds of good food about to be wasted each year and get it to those who need it. Help the environment and help fight hunger 🤝

It's wild how there are at least 20-30 people in the Trump administration who are each,, somehow, the most contemptible person you've ever seen in your life. Just an M.C. Escher staircase of loathsomeness.

I am once again tapping the "support independent, worker-owned, billionaire free news" sign. the most powerful people in the world should not be deciding whether or not we know about this sort of thing. putting Marisa's subscription link below

Great opportunity!

I work fairly closely with the grant-witness team. Good humans and an impressive array of skill sets.

I always feel like a complete data science amateur during our calls.

Obama’s change in policy towards Cuba and the JCPOA happened, the world didn’t end, everything was fine. Part of manufacturing consent for more war is purposefully forgetting the very recent memory when it was proven to be wholly unnecessary.

Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.

Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.

I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand

Stat News outlines our greatest hits in the past year; we "hosted the letters of career federal scientists raising the alarm about the impact of Trump policies, worked with a Democratic representative to file articles of impeachment against health secretary Robert F.

This is one of those things that is less sexy to talk about but is unequivocally a war crime

If you are in line to post a Kristi Noem getting fired joke - STAY IN LINE.

There's a rational temptation in these moments to ask if what follows will be worse, and to let concern temper happiness.

My two cents and experience from Trump's first term is it's important and good to celebrate victories when you get them. Kristi Noem is truly awful, we should be glad she's out

I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!

Trump is announcing his nominee.

That's it.

If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now.

And that matters come November.

On behalf of Brian’s family, we want to express our deepest gratitude for the overwhelming outpouring of support, messages, and contributions over the last 24 hours.

At this time, our priority is Brian’s wellbeing. We are taking a necessary step back from the public eye to allow him to focus fully on his recovery in private. While he looks forward to engaging with you all again very soon, his health and his family remain the current priorities.

Thank you for your continued patience and for being such an incredible community. Please keep Brian and his family in your prayers.

— Team McGinnis

And for the record, I’ve been running long before this, and yes even after breaking my arm standing up for what I believe in. It’s only made me more determined. Anger is real, and so is resolve. Take care.
