Researchers are warning — and have demonstrated — that the escalation of rhetoric correlates with real‑world violence. I would submit: not correlation at this point but causation. #CivicHealth

"Awful Governments--All of Them" 1/ Re-invoicing is a method to minimize reported profits. Transactions route through intermediary entities in jurisdictions with secrecy and low taxes. The intermediary issues a new invoice at an adjusted price, shifting margins away from high-tax areas.

The Cuba pressure campaign is escalating again, and nobody is explaining the endgame. Military posturing without clarity....this is disorienting and breeds distrust at home and abroad. #foreignpolicy

It is difficult for me to fathom that people create accounts for the express purpose of labeling other accounts pejoratively or to place them on lists. Very bad faith.

@shadowbanner.bsky.social What the fuck is this? Destiny Orbiter??? Don't even know who or what Destiny is....and harass Palestine? Blocked.

Take note: “temporary” rollbacks of civil never get restored. We all agree “this isn’t normal,” but at this point it’s the operating system. #USPolitics

Respect to US Rep Thomas Massie. Hopefully he sleeps well at night, unlike many of Trumps sycophants.✌🏼🌏🌍🌎

Organic and natural is best for all of us and this Earth!

Respiratory virus spikes this week are hitting older adults hard. Masking isn’t political; it’s respiratory physics. I no longer practice medicine nor do I own stock in mask companies--I tell you to wear a mask because I care. #health

Med News: The highly mutated SARS-CoV-2 variant BA.3.2, nicknamed Cicada, is emerging after an extended period of lying low. Here’s what to know about the latest Variant Under Monitoring. #COVID19

There it goes again: student loan guidance changed. I practiced medicine for decades and still can’t parse half of these absurd updates. It shouldn’t require a legal degree or spreadsheet. #education #loans

Ron breaks down ABC’s free speech fight with Trump’s FCC, the Virginia Supreme Court’s decision—and why Dems are still likely to gain seats, soaring gas prices, and the growing economic and political fallout from Trump’s war. Read the Friday bulletin:

In heartbreaking news, food banks reporting higher demand again. That’s the real economic indicator, not the stock market. #Economy #Trump #Greed #Capitalism

The layoffs at Nike and Apple aren’t isolated events. They’re part of a broader correction that’s been building since the pandemic hiring spree. Pain incoming. #economy

I don't actually have a bucket list [just get to everything as I can], but if I did, here would be at near the top 👻 #greenwitchtea #greenwitch #peace #love #travel

The future of work is being rewritten without workers in the room. #Amazon #Meta #Coinbase

The kids had a blast with Trump today

America’s never had bigger, uglier, more dangerous Giants for All of our Children! This is NOT their America! This isn’t a country run by Sane Americans! Our Children, All of Them Deserve So Much Better! They Deserve to Not live without a Viable Future! youtu.be/jsbhBYaAelQ?... go.bsky.app/S8TzHwK

This has been standard practice for decades. Not sure how to feel.

yeah man, we’re all just dummies who don’t understand that you’re just judicial monks operating in a sphere of pure law [puts finger to ear] what’s this, clarence thomas gave another speech blaming progressives for hitler?

A personal note about the @katiephangshow.bsky.social:

Let the pedo pay for his own toys We are not his private ATM.

This is supposed to "own the libs"..🙄

“I’m not worried at all because voters remember that we had $9 gas in some places and we’ve now brought prices down. It’s a question of, ‘Do you want to continue down this path of recovery, or do we want to go back to artificially inflated gas prices?’” www.notus.org/congress/ric...

Hard to ignore how fast the layoffs are stacking up. Tech, retail, finance—everyone calling it “restructuring” while people pack their desks. AI didn’t break the economy, but it’s sure being used to justify a lot of cuts. #TrumpEconomy

FBI statement to MeidasTouch Network about the raid of Virginia Sen. Louise Lucas: “The FBI is executing a court-authorized federal search warrant in Portsmouth, VA. There is no threat to public safety. This is an ongoing investigation and not further information is publicly available at this time”

I can think of zero examples of tech fortunes NOT built on theft, hype, stock manipulation, exploiting developers. Zero.

Wellness trends increasingly resemble subscription‑based self‑maintenance with promise of balance becoming a product rather than a practice. #wellness #scam

FWIW....from the movie "Arsenic and Old Lace." The sweet old women poison old men by lacing the wine with poison. Craziest was man in their basement--Roosevelt--digging a canal.

Economic numbers look “steady,” but consider the damn source. Checkout line says otherwise. You can’t call it stability when families are budgeting down to the dollar every single week. #costofliving

“What if the prophecy is true…..?” go.bsky.app/133fZM1

Medicine taught me the lesson: systems don’t change because they should, they change because pressure leaves them no alternative.

So Eric Trump is now threatening to sue MeidasTouch because our editor-in-chief simply reported on the massive amounts of money he and Don Jr. are making off government contracts. File the lawsuit Eric. We’d love to put you under oath. Our message: www.meidasplus.com/p/trump-fami...

Spirit specifically cited why they couldn’t stay in business: skyrocketing fuel costs due to Trump’s war. And the Trump admin is still trying to blame Biden for everything?! It’s May 2026. Trump was the “I’ll make everything cheaper on day 1” guy. The “no new wars” guy. Own your actions.

@cfwhittingham.bsky.social Schools are dealing with staffing shortages that affect everything from class size to support services. Families feel the impact immediately, and teachers carry more than any job description accounts for. #education

Good morning. Tuition continues to rise while enrollment drops which was inevitable really. Students and families are questioning the long‑term value of degrees that come with heavy debt. Institutions need to align cost with realistic outcomes. #education

A lot of people are carrying financial stress they don’t talk about. Rent, groceries, utilities—go up while wages stall. It shapes how people plan, how they sleep, and how they think about the next future. I have seen how it effects the body--and mind--in my profession. #economy #healthcare

The Trump administration wants to bring back firing squads and the electric chair as part of a radical overhaul of federal executions
