Generics have documented issues in certain cases. Propublica has some really good reporting on the manufacturing side.
In San Diego, the Catholic diocese has. The priests have organized court watch groups and protests. The Catholic charities have been involved in immigration for a long time and they’ve been very outspoken.
There’s been a number of studies that have linked heavy metals, air pollution and pesticides to an increased risk of autism. Genetics is by far the largest factor but there are environmental and societal factors as well.
“Genetic factors account for a significant portion of autism cases. Research like the kind McCanlies and other government-funded scientists have conducted over the past two decades has established that environmental factors have a role, too, and can combine with genetics.“
I O baby let’s go bucks
Texas jerseys already falling apart
Completely ignoring the part of “we already have mandatory retirement ages for judges and diplomats” and making up statements that I didn’t say 10/10 you win the internet argument
We need a mandatory retirement age. 65 or 70 makes the most sense. If you’re too old to work as a diplomat or a judge, you’re too old to run the country. Mental facilities decline, physical abilities decline, illness and injury takes longer to recover from.
Maybe instead of fighting about how content creators get paid we can talk about: -Leadership of the CDC resigning en masse -Major health groups breaking from the feds vaccine recommendations -Lack of COVID vaccine availability for children Hundreds of people are still dying every week from COVID.
The anonymous part isn’t the problem, it’s the White House part. I don’t believe a single thing that comes out of this White House that isn’t independently verified. You shouldn’t either.
So people have to work for free? In this economy? You’re cutting out anyone that isn’t wealthy enough to support themselves while making content. Do you follow journalists? Watch tv news? Listen to podcasts? All those people are being paid to “feed you content”.
An anonymous White House source is not a credible source. If you think differently, I’ve got some ocean-front property to sell you in Nevada.
Really weird going to work everyday with all the fascism.
And we’ve had multiple lawmakers assassinated in the last 6 months.
At least the deal for next year is looking better
Seems pretty standard for stuff that the media makes sound dramatic and terrible to be the easiest way to comply with the law.
I can’t wait for new train cars. The plug situation was rough and the bathrooms aren’t great. Train is definitely dated but still entirely enjoyable.
Took the coast starlight for my first long distance train ride. It was lovely, on-time, met some great and interesting people, beautiful views. Making the travel part of vacation was fun. Highly recommend #amtrak
Yea cause he’s actually fighting back, not playing defense.
Does this mean ESPN is producing the games? Most importantly, does it affect Don and Mud in any way?
The app itself sucks. It’s the worst Apple TV app I use. The product is good tho.
Making it digital only and not on cable would be a disaster for my grandparents. 1) teaching them to watch anything on an app is difficult and 2) their internet sucks. I’m sure there’s many people with the same problems. Not to mention all the people who won’t want to pay to watch the games.
Yea I love target
Not to mention the millions they’re spending on consultants instead of down ballot races.
California has walked the walk on independent redistricting at the state level for 15 years. But we cannot unilaterally disarm while other states throw out the rules to gain power. With one vote, Californians can punch back and also demand nationwide independent redistricting.
The Dems have been trying to pass a national gerrymandering ban for years. This is such a reductive take.
We are not “a year out from the primaries”. We’re TWO AND A HALF years out from primaries.
Hold a town hall
Me in my uber: “Oh, you live in my neighborhood? Have you reached out to our congressman @repscottpeters.bsky.social to request a town hall?”
how does “it 2025 and we’re hoping for a midterm election” sound as argument? Why are we planning for an election 4 years away that might not even happen at the rate we’re going?
Primary goal: town hall Secondary goal: otay mesa detention center congressional oversight visit Tertiary goal: get a new congressperson
Does anyone have examples of flyer with the call to action of requesting a Townhall? I’m working a request for @repscottpeters.bsky.social and will be printing and posting in my neighborhood
The Rockies exist. The number of military members willing to go to war against the state they live in will be small. The number of military members willing to go to war against and shoot citizens will be smaller. There are reasons it’s infeasible but geography is workable
We can’t be fighting right now. We literally have five weeks to convince enough Californians to vote in favor of gerrymandering the state to keep Republicans from rigging the House of Representatives. 1/2
Right? Acting like a billionaire can’t hire a good SM team is ridiculous
How about a Californian who 100% agrees with them?
We’re not fighting against governors right now. We’re not fighting against ourselves. It’s 2025. We’re fighting for midterms. Stop it with the fucking unnecessary infighting. Save it for the primaries. In 2027.
It’s not about maga, the man is a pedophile that has admitted to raping children. He wrote a song about raping a 13 year old girl.
Good. I strongly support the independent commission but, until we have national anti-gerrymandering laws, we can’t play fair
Hold a town hall
How is poor phone tech training part of sensitivity training?
I can’t tell you how many times a manager has said “HR said no” to something I’m hearing about for the first time.
HR and recruiting are not the same thing.
People also hate HR because leadership decisions that they think HR is in control of. HR is not in charge. All we can do is advise leadership that “hey, this thing is illegal” “hey, people are underpaid” “hey, we should change this policy”. Leadership is perfectly happy with HR taking the blame.
This is really funny because one of the reasons I like your books is because of the accuracy. I hate when they get the baseball wrong.
THE MAN WHO THREW THE SANDWICH WAS A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE
“Pesina allegedly committed sexual assault during an on-duty investigation. There were other on-duty assaults, as well as alleged off-duty incidents, in 2023 and 2024, according to investigators” So at least 3 assaults before any investigation?
You need a better headline.
5 in row, 1st place for at least the next 6 hours. Let’s go angels
People leaving it public is even stranger. Why?
The twins have a ton of debt, $425m and wanted $1.7B reportedly. That’s a lot of money.
Look up Jackie Spier! She was a big advocate against allowing Congress people to sleep in their offices, for this reason. I miss her as my Congresswoman every day.
That’s why I block them. If your entire comment history is just telling people to despair, do nothing and that nothing matters, you’re either a bot, a troll or someone I have no desire to listen to ever again.
I think wanting people uncomfortable is the wrong decision. Even if he meant afraid, scared people are dangerous. Americans are not known for being reasonable
I’ve started banning them. Spreading defeat helps no one
I’ve been waiting for @repscottpeters.bsky.social to announce a town hall during the break. Finally called his office today. He has no plans to hold any town halls, too busy meeting with “leaders and groups”. Sounds scared.
“New BLS appointee says the BLS should suspend issuing monthly job reports” That’s one way to avoid making Trump look bad and get fired. While destroying all trust in the BLS, the jobs data and further unnecessary partisanship of the federal government.
$1000 to appeal an immigration judges ruling
Clickbait headline but the article is solid and the fee increases are crazy. Doubling the fees of green card applications to $3000, 10x the cost for temporary protected status to $500, $100 application and annual fee for asylum cases. www.notus.org/immigration/...
Oh really? I thought they were all a set number of borrows. Good to know. I always try to return things as soon as as i finish but the change in kindle returns slows me down.
Watching the collapse of an empire in real time is wild
Yea hooplas expensive. I always check if a book is available on Libby before checking it out on hoopla
Yes! Libby is your library’s ebook (and audiobook) collection. Your library chooses and purchases everything on there.
I always feel bad for doing this on Libby and hoopla cause I know the book can only be checked out for a set number of licenses
This headline makes it sound like crime is a problem in the capital when it’s actually down. Do better.
Tom Cotton won by 17% in 2015. Boozman had 65% of the vote in 2022. Sarah Huckaber Sanders won 63% of the vote in 2022. Gerrymandering doesn’t matter in statewide elections. Arkansas is a red state.
Work is going really well for me right now. Really enjoying my job, great boss and interesting company.
Aren’t billionaires rich enough? What else could you possibly need?
I was most certainly too young for this. I also was too young to have unfettered access to fan fiction but my parents didn’t know what it was. They gave up entirely on age appropriate books by middle school.
Here’s what to know?????? You want us to support you with donations with BS headlines like this one. The top headline on your app right now is about tariffs when Trump is taking over DC. Your national coverage sucks right now.
God parable of the sower becomes more true everyday
Doechii, saved you a click.
Watching outside lands live stream. Large, long shorts are definitely in again
There’s a place in hell for people who put their suitcase in the front carry on compartments and sit in the back
People who use generative AI to write books are plagiarizing.
Padres fans have completely reasonable expectations for him (not)
@sarajacobs.house.gov has had a few. Even had one on behalf of Darren Issas constituents, cause he sucks.
It’s unlikely to be able to flip all 35 but you could get rid of a lot
Leonardo José Colmenares Solórzano, a 31-year-old Venezuelan, wants the world to know that he was tortured over four months in a Salvadoran prison. He said guards stomped on his hands, poured filthy water into his ears and threatened to beat him.
EXCLUSIVE: Southeastern Louisiana University has removed a scientist from a research team that exposed the presence and sources of toxic metals in Lake Maurepas. @wesmuller.bsky.social reports lailluminator.com/2025/07/31/s...
Don’t repeat shit you see on facebook
Glad it’s not just me. And now Eugenio Suarez is potentially hurt
San Francisco has one on Twin Peaks every year for pride month
I don’t think this is placating at all. Lumping RFK in with the mom down the street who’s against vaccines diminishes the harm RFK is doing. Anti-vax influencer points out exactly what they are
Who’s planning to run against @repscottpeters.bsky.social ? What can I do to support you?
Californias max is $450/week and hasn’t changed in over 20 years
The VA has had success over the last few years and reduced veteran homelessness by 11.7% since 2020 (and 55.6% since 2010). Impressive when compared to the overall increase in homelessness. The number of homeless veterans should, of course, be 0. (The number of homeless should also be 0)
And you asked why I unsubscribed???
The recruiting software will even input the candidate name, job title, etc into the email for you these days.
Lmao I forgot about that.
That’s fucked, I’m sorry.
I was not speaking on the legitimacy of the shortage, just using it as an example of public pressure.
It’s Russian roulette. Not everyone (or even most people) gets sick. I do not support the exemptions, but people will die if there’s medical shortages. People might die if the drugs are unsafe. The FDA created this problem decades ago and are covering it up with these exemptions.
NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS. We need to put pressure on insurance companies, pharmacies, doctors and Pharma companies. I asked all my doctors to prescribe name brand for all my prescriptions. I sent them the previous article in the series. I told my family to do the same.
The reason given is “to prevent shortages”. It’s in the article
It’s been going on for decades. The FDA started the ball rolling on this clusterfuck in the 90s.
Did you read the articles? It’s pressure from lawmakers to keep medical costs down, pressure from the general public to keep medication on the market (remember the ADHD shortages?) and lack of funding for inspections l
They’re in the article. Propublica also has another article on this topic from last month. Highly recommend as a generic taker myself
Or the last few propublica articles in this series
lol read the article. The FDA has failed at every step of the way.
