National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

I increasingly think this 11th C opinion upholding decision throwing out Trump lawsuit is a BFD.
That's bc Chief Judge William Pryor and Trump appointee Andrew Brasher said much of what Trump wants to charge as CRIMINAL conspiracy is not one.

📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.

Interesting on sleep & cognitive issues post covid:
"Lower lung gas-exchange efficiency within the #LongCOVID group was associated with worse sleep symptoms, poorer executive functioning, and higher cerebral perfusion, suggesting a potential lung–brain pathway contributing to persistent symptoms."

But I particularly loved their discussion of women who choose not to have kids 👋 & why passive aggressive people are the worst.

Crucially, by upholding their constitution and the rule of law, Brazil discovered that support for Bolsonaro evaporated save for a dwindling minority of die-hards and dead-enders. Because Brazilians see Bolsonaro as a criminal and a loser, they've largely moved on from him.
