Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them. New piece ↓ open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Grateful to volunteer this holiday season with the MNPd Christmas Basket Program alongside my colleague @erinfor12.bsky.social. A great reminder of the power of service and community during the holidays.

As we gather in gratitude today, let’s also remember those who may be facing challenges this season. May we continue to look out for one another and build a community where everyone feels supported. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families.

Just wondering if @freddieoconnell.bsky.social will do a concert with David Guetta?

I'm looking for people to meet, events to attend and stories to tell in the 37217 ZIP code (Percy Priest, Smith Springs, Nashboro Village, part of Murfreesboro Pike and south side of the airport). If you know of anything I should check out in the area, please let me know.

🌳 Excited to see nearly 500 new trees coming to Murfreesboro Pike! This effort will grow our tree canopy, improve the environment & make the area more inviting for all. 🌱 #Nashville #UrbanForestry #Sustainability www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...
