2. Similarly, DO NOT share any posts about sightings that do not have time/date/exact location - not even like, "I cannot verify but passing this along." Also only share info straight from the eye witness/reporter. No sharing a post from someone said "just heard ICE is at Claiborne and Carrollton"

Vietnam’s Year of Floods, Mud and Death

"Vietnam has been hit by 14 typhoons this year. Five was the average a few decades ago. The rain from the past few days did not even come from a cyclone — but to add inundation on top of injury, a 15th major storm has just formed off the country’s south central coast."

BART could drop from 4,200 trains per week to just 500 trains per week. A 88% decrease in service.

Caltrain will only run 1 train per hour and cut weekend service.

Muni could cut almost 50% of Muni service, reduce fare discounts, and shrink the streets division

AC Transit will implement 37% in service cuts.

The Bay Area is at risk of massive transit service cuts if we don't pass a 2026 regional funding measure.

It cannot be overstated how disastrous cuts would be for our entire region.

Please read this thread for actions you can take to save Bay Area public transit. And share to spread the word! 🧵⬇️

Shout out to all the people who are rocked to sleep by turbulence. 🛫

Think of your favorite celebrity, whether they’re an actor, musician, athlete, whatever.

They’re probably pretty well-off, financially. But they are still closer to auctioning off their possessions to cover medical bills than they are to being a billionaire.

Kinda scary that the newspaper of the second largest city in the U.S. is posting "Tips for Surviving."

A tweet: Megan K. Stack ® @Megankstack At bedtime the 8 yo told me his teacher said: "Think of your mind like a pond full of fish and each fish is a feeling. Try to be the pond, not the fish." And all I can say is primary school has significantly improved.

Wow. This is such great advice it startled me

PLEASE be careful 😭😭😭

i can’t believe this has to be a reminder

Stephen Punwasi (@StephenPunwasi) on twitter: "Give a poor person $2,000, and it's instantly recirculated into the economy when they need to buy necessities. Give a large company $2,000, and they'll store it offshore, say they have no more money, and ask for another $2,000."

Even as a 14-year-old, I read Harlequin romances featuring teenage girls as young at 16 and adult men up to age 40 and was repulsed.

But then, I'd already been accosted by a man wanting to show me his dick at 13, and touched inappropriately (and highly confused thereby) by a family friend at age 9.

Goldman Sachs says the U.S. lost 50,000 jobs last month—which is why Trump’s refusing to release the jobs and inflation reports. They don’t want you seeing how bad the economy really is, but everybody knows.

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.
