This is your regular reminder that the federal government is actively monitoring social media and most social media sites will comply with subpoenas to some degree.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Centrist dems want buses running over LGBT people. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social wants free and clear bus lanes instead. The difference won him the election.

Hey. Fat people also deserve food. Fat people using snap benefits deserve to eat guiltfree. Going without will not make them instantly skinny, and in some cases, like those with diabetes, not eating on a set schedule can exacerbate health problems. Being fat does not equal laziness or weak morality.

The FDA added another brand to its list of ground cinnamon with unsafe lead levels today. You'll find it (DEVI) and the other 16 brands so far identified in the alert below. Do note that none of these are from spice companies like McCormick or Penzeys (which actually test pretty well).
Safety Alert
The FDA is advising consumers to throw away and not to buy the ground cinnamon products because samples of products listed in the table were found to contain elevated levels of lead.

There's a reason I fill my local little free pantries with both staples (beans, rice, canned veg) & treats (baking ingredients, tea, coffee, candy), and it's bc I know what it's like. Give candy AND offer nonperishables if you like, but don't skip the candy. They need that sense of normalcy.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
