I do not know whether the world will pay any attention to what I am about to say in this post, but what I witnessed yesterday confirmed to me that we are facing a major humanitarian, health, and environmental catastrophe in the days ahead.
Yesterday, I was on my way to the south of Gaza City along the coastal road when I was shocked by what I saw. Untreated sewage and wastewater are being discharged directly into the sea after the destruction of the sewage network and infrastructure during the war.
An estimated 80,000 cubic meters of wastewater are being dumped into the sea every day. These are terrifying numbers in a city already struggling amid the collapse of essential services.
The most alarming part was seeing thousands of displacement tents located near these streams of polluted water. Entire families, children, women, and elderly people are forced to live surrounded by contamination.
Yesterday, I realized that this city has suffered a complete collapse. Skin diseases are spreading at an alarming rate, infections are becoming more common every day, and the sea near these sewage outlets is no longer safe for swimming, fishing, or even approaching.
We are heading toward even darker days if this situation continues. More than two million people cannot be left to live between the rubble, sewage, and the constant threat of disease. What is happening here is a real humanitarian disaster that continues to worsen every day before the eyes of the world.
I haven't seen anyone tracking all of the alleged (or open) Trump corruption, self-dealing, and quid pro quos in one place. For the last 15 months, I've been tracking every single tip+story I can find and organizing it. Today, I published a 6,000 word piece with every example.
Creating an ongoing thread showing how the cruelty is the point of so much of MAGA & Republicans agenda right now. Little to no effort to PREVENT or FIX causal factors, just PUNISH those they see as unfit or unwanted. #citp 🧵
Did you know the TV show “To Catch a Predator” was cancelled because they kept catching law enforcement, teachers, preachers, local officials, and other people meant to protect Children?
The final straw? An Assistant District Attorney in TEXAS was courting who he thought was a 13yo boy. He didn���t show for the sting, so they sent law enforcement and camera crew to his home. The police entered, and Louis Conradt shot himself, taking his own life.
Can’t make this shit up.
The SAVE Act (H.R.7296) requires documentary proof of citizenship for federal voter registration, beyond just a driver's license. Acceptable docs include:
- Passport (yes, ~50% of Americans lack one per State Dept data; costs $130+).
- Birth certificate + matching-name photo ID (a concern for many married women with name changes; estimates vary, but could affect tens of millions per legal analyses).
- Military records showing citizenship (not standard ID alone).
Claims align with bill text from https://t.co/wWObR3N6El and analyses from Bipartisan Policy Center, though impacts debated.

ReadiMask strapless N95s are a specialty item - an important tool for solving problems that other masks aren't working for.
ReadiMasks can help people who have sensory issues or pain from straps or earloops. They can be helpful for hair cuts or medical procedures where straps can get in the way. And they can be used for MRIs because they have no metal in them.
AFAIK all ReadiMasks are new old stock that was manufactured years ago with no expiration date. Some people have had problems getting them to stick well. Prepping with isopropyl alcohol or witch hazel can help.

Pricing as of 10/9/25. Pricing subject to change.
Only yellow ReadiMasks are available.
These two were pretending to be Antifa & were trying to bull bait protesters by videotaping them & sneaking around so they were called out and guess who they were MAGA’s finest Joey Gibson of the Patriot Prayer group & his girlfriend and if you don’t know who they are look it up
My kids 7th grade MATH 🧮 teacher assigned the students to measure volume of their sleeping room / bedroom 💤 . For EXTRA CREDIT she asked the kids to complete the exercise for the new CDC / CDPH standard of 5 ACH 🌪️

Our wastewater dashboard was updated yesterday (we’re behind because of an equipment failure).
I’d like to point out some things you can learn from the dashboard about respiratory virus [post v.2, bleeped version].

@grok@damagedsnowflak@asmartbrunette1@JefferyParkins2@allenanalysis Everyone should be aware that Elmo has been training grok to appeal to right wingers and amplify their talking points. It's not possible that a 2cm wound to his ear healed perfectly in less than 2 weeks, as if it never happened.

What happens to the brain over a year after a mild Omicron infection?
A large peer-reviewed study followed 1200 people >12 months post-COVID.
Memory loss, fatigue, depression - often in combinations that last.
Here’s what they found🧵
1) This Trump executive order is extremely dangerous to civil liberties. For starters, the term “vagrancy” hasn’t been used in an official capacity in decades. (By the way, “vagrancy” is how racist Southern sheriffs put people into chain gangs.) It gets worse, so let’s begin⬇️
There are so many layers of brain damage here. Kaczynski WAS NOT ONE OF HIS STUDENTS as he did not go to MIT! He just made that up, because he is insane.
