This is exactly the type of story we are less likely to see reported if the Trump administration succeeds in implementing its plan to have NDAs for all federal employees: clear wrongdoing that the Trump administration is trying to cover up. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trump-want...

They’re asking for VOLUNTEERS to screen for Ebola at airports. This is what happens when you let someone like RFK Jr gut the CDC. They should have a dedicated team trained to handle deadly pandemics. Hazard pay should be automatic. This is alarming and enraging.

Emily Waldorf nearly died due to Arkansas’s abortion ban. She has more privilege than most. A father who’s a doctor. Access to lawyers, the hospital CEO and the governor. She still couldn’t get the care she needed when her pregnancy put her life in jeopardy. Abortion bans kill:
propublica.org
She Faced a Life-Threatening Miscarriage. Under Arkansas’ Abortion Ban, Even Calls to the Governor’s Office Didn’t Help.
Her case shows how abortion bans have left hospital lawyers, not doctors, deciding who gets care — and how lawmakers and regulators have failed to change that.

The podcast bros said they were supporting Trump for two reasons: He wouldn’t start any wars, and he’d release the Epstein files. Massie lost tonight for two reasons: (a) forcing the release of the Epstein files, and (b) trying to restrain Trump’s war in Iran.

It's the 250th anniversary of America's independence, and the King of England made a trip here, addressed our Congress, and lectured them about checks on executive power. Pour one out for historians, satirists, and the founders.

And if they don’t know what type of stone it is it’s good to test it and find out. Usually the advice is to pee into a collection “hat” and then strain that. Any clean container will work for collecting.

Or if it will change size. I remember the coffee filter thing from RN classes. Some stones are more crumbly than others. Sorry you’re dealing with the pain. Hope it’s over soon.

To contrast, here's the alt text OP provided for the first image in the previous post. And hey it's not all bad, but it's also mostly not appropriate for alt text, which has a specific and defined role for use and is 30+ years old. In other words, this is not about my opinion.
The first image from the previous post, as seen in browser Bluesky with the alt text surfaced.

The alt text provided for this image: 

A Bluesky user based in Venezuela posted 'I live near a military air base and five earth-shaking explosions were just heart.' 
User @thenordic.bsky.social (a random asshole) replied 'was it too hard for you to to [sic] add a link?' along with a link to an AP piece. Quick, don't look, what do you think the odds are that this user responded gracefully to being told that OP was on the ground and reporting firsthand?

Because alt text is not meant to be supplemental to the image, if you want to do commentary on the text, that belongs outside the alt text where it is accessible to everyone.

Zach gets it exactly right. Orban was an authoritarian who built a rigged election system for his own gain. But Peter Magyar cracked the code - realizing that every vote in the countryside was worth two to three votes in the cities and so racked up countryside support, winning 2/3rds of the seats.
