60 Minutes journalist Sharyn Alfonsi sharply summarizes the appalling decision of Bari Weiss not to run her CECOT story: “If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient.”

Ordinarily enrolling a thousand patients is a very protracted process of months or years—the speed of enrollment here is a chance to send a message that more trials should center patients like this one does.

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE END OF SNAP
This is important. This came to me overnight through a group organizing in the PNW. Please consider adopting these strategies where you live. YOU WILL SAVE LIVES. SNAP runs out 11-1.
Start a block/neighborhood channel on Signal and get to work.
This is important. This came to me overnight through a group organizing in the PNW. Please consider adopting these strategies where you live. YOU WILL SAVE LIVES. SNAP runs out 11-1.
Start a block/neighborhood channel on Signal and get to work.
![How it works:
1. Steward posts once to the block group: "I've got a small shelf of staples. DM 'BAG' no questions asked."
2. Keep a simple in/out tally; rotate oldest first; replace what's used.
3. If demand spikes, steward pings the block: "NEED: 6 cans, 2 pastas, diapers size 4."
4. For larger needs, handoff to a local food bank. Privacy and dignity first—no photos, no public names.
Comment to volunteer: STEWARD
- [Your Street Name]
Comment to donate: DONOR -

Need help? DM me the word BAG.
