my mom took beta blockers twice because she had a bunch of meds and couldn't keep them straight. i think it was @cheerfulexgf.bsky.social who recommended getting pill markers where you can press a color-coded button on your pill container when you took it. super life saving.

Immigrant advocates have been thrown to the ground, pepper-sprayed, and tailed in their cars by officers in an apparent attempt to intimidate them, @caitlindickerson.bsky.social reports. One tells her: “It's never been this bad.”

‘It’s Never Been This Bad’

Immigrant advocates face escalating consequences and threats from the president.

ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the 94 million pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the #Trump administration’s cuts to The Emergency Food Assistance Program.

The cuts amounted to $500 million in funds. Thousands of planned deliveries were canceled without warning in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.

The #USDA did not respond to questions or requests for comment.
