Consumers don’t know if their medications came from factories that used dirty water, were infested by insects or birds, or were outright banned from shipping drugs to the U.S.

Our new app provides answers that the FDA won’t.
Rx Inspector: ProPublica’s New Tool Provides Drug Info the FDA Won’t
We’ve launched a first-of-its-kind app to help you find out where your generic drugs come from and see the track records of the factories that made them.

A thread that’s a good news story, and we can all use some good news. Thank you, @ricksteves.bsky.social
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Today, in the Sunday print NYT, we published an investigative look at Harold Hamm, the 13th child of Oklahoma sharecroppers who started an oil company named Continental, which turned him into a billionaire, powerbroker and friend of Donald J. Trump. You may never have heard of Hamm. But you should

I started getting reports of an unseasonal Joshua tree bloom in the last few weeks, and looking over records on @inaturalist.bsky.social it's pretty widespread! So we're putting out the call for folks to record this "bonus bloom" and help us study it 🌿

Good, decent people love all humankind. It's called "grace" and believe it or not, it resides within all humankind. Hatred, racism, and bigotry is something that is learned. The question y'all have to ask yourself is who taught it to you?

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

This sounds like a keystone cops scenario, but is actually an incredibly dangerous situation and an upshot of poor coordination.When I was U.S attorney, we took great pains to minimize this precise risk, which happens when diff agencies are working the same area.

Fullerton police stop man pointing gun at female driver, only to learn he is ICE agent
A Fullerton police officer told the agent he couldn't help 'with someone following or recording him if no crime had occurred.' Under state law, local police cannot enforce federal immigration law.

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.

Not really sure if I can do a repost of a repost, but if it helps a few people see this who maybe wouldn’t otherwise, it’s worth it. 🤞
If you live in California & you fear our military is being turned into the sword of fascist dictatorship, please sign my petition. If Gavin Newsom takes this up he will take it to every Governor in the country and make enough noise that our troops and generals will hear the alarm. c.org/xhZVWykFbh

Good idea here
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

One of my favorite things about #canvassing at this time of year is seeing the various Halloween decorations people have put up in their yards and on their porches. I found this wreath to be understated yet still celebratory. And oh yes, if you live in #California, please vote #YesonProp50
