This is going under the radar, but looks like the CDC guidelines for masking are switching back to COVID-19 Community *TRANSMISSION* levels instead of "Community levels."

That means the CDC now recommends universal masking for **71%** of counties in the US, instead of only 9%.

At this point, are we sure his name is really George Santos?

People at higher risk for severe COVID—the immunocompromised, disabled, elderly—have every right to take precautions and have every right to be angry. They are not "hysterical" or "risk averse." They are being intentionally excluded from society by bad pandemic leadership.

So when US airlines were stranded, they got taxpayer money to help them out but now when taxpayers are stranded, airlines don’t help but instead charge insane amounts to people who need to get home? Help me understand🤔

I wish more people deeply understood that being able-bodied is temporary.

Imagine calling 911 to report a crime only to find that your *choice of words* indicated guilt—all according to a pseudoscience first developed by a small-town cop, then promoted by the FBI, and finally weaponized by prosecutors.

Every state should follow. Basic human dignity.

3 substations in Washington state were sabotaged on Christmas morning knocking out power to 14,000 customers.

The media is referring to this as vandalism.

Spray painting graffiti on a sidewalk is vandalism. Causing massive outages for thousands of people is domestic terrorism.

Many police chiefs say staffing levels have not rebounded from a wave of resignations that started in 2020's unrest. Now, departments are trying to lure recruits with tactics like a “signing day” ceremony and bonuses worth tens of thousands of dollars. https://t.co/U1R2NZykGO

Air travel this holiday season.

It doesn't matter what the PM said at the homeless shelter, it's the fact that someone in his team thought a man worth £730m giving a homeless person a plate of sausages and eggs would be good PR.

The NORAD Twitter account has been suspended for doxxing the location of Santa's sleigh.

Cops joking about how people who might freeze to death outside can get a roof over their head in jail as though that isn’t a massive indictment of society and the legal system especially

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Some Americans will freeze to death over Christmas weekend—that’s a policy choice.
