If I can’t find a personal skeet in your first 20-30 in your profile, I will not follow you back. If there’s nothing personal about you in your profile, I’m not following you back. If all you do is repost blue-anon, I’m definitely not following you back.

This is becoming urgent.

Private equity is gutting hospitals for profit — when they collapse, communities lose care. That’s life and death.

PE has been taking over some of your favorite companies for years. They sell off assets, strip the business bare, and when there’s nothing left, it collapses.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Important - the VA is telling him he should not consider himself infectious unless he develops a high fever of 103. (That don’t seem right-he’s going to try and get a second on that). Also that he can test false positive for up to 90 days.

He does feel sick again, though.

after the 10th radioactive shrimp recall in 7 weeks, i decided to do some digging

We have so much to do and so much going on it’s so very frustrating.

I tested negative two days in a row, but we had started sleeping in the same bed again, so…

Yup. Positive two tests.

A lot of the injunction is basically "don't do cop violence without justification" but this popped out at me

Yuck. It wasn’t Eldo, was it?

I love the community school (our driveway neighbor was the principal then), but that HOA community is of the worst kind.

A few moms set up a girl scout troop just for their girls, but wouldn’t let anyone else in. They told interested kids/parents to try and join one in Santa Fe 🤬

Coconino @coconinoite.bsky.social · 11h

It’s in a pretty open area south of Rancho Viejo and west of Eldo. There’s a lot of open buffer. I mean, this is an agro HOA community that argued about people having solar, clotheslines, and chickens at their homes.

Ask me about the super-clique-y Girl Scout troop when my kid went to school there

Cooperative social media tech bros can scrape our social media with AI to put us into categories of opinion and personal details, including relatives and location.

Our voter files have been sent to DC with SS numbers and which primaries we vote in or (depending on state) party registration.

Since the DOGE ransacking of federal agencies, it has been apparent that this was the endgame.

Different databases cross referenced provide all the information they need to punish political opinion. (They don’t really mean violence).

The IRS and Social Security have our banking information.

Utterly sinister and deeply threatening to democracy:

"plans to deploy America's counter-terrorism apparatus... as well as the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department against certain left-wing groups it accuses of funding and organizing political violence"

President Donald Trump's threatened crackdown on the finances and activities of liberal non-profits and groups opposed to his agenda is a multi-agency effort with top White House aide Stephen Miller playing a central role, according to officials.

It’s the one called Rancho Viejo that’s solar and battery. I do understand the squishiness about the battery facility, but that can be overcome. Eldo is chock-ass full of NIMBYs.
