Yes, but none caught what we caught. That in 1969 the Uniform Probate Code use of guardianships was made for administrative convenience and is totally unconstitutional in every state. Any full rights removal due to incapacity cannot be adjudicated in a lower court. If you're incapacitated, you need a higher court because you can't consent. If you're not incapacitated, you don't need guardianship. All full guardianships with full rights removals in the entire country are unconstitutional. None of those organizations will want to help because that would undo every full guardianship since 1969 and undo the judiciary in every state creating massive lawsuits. It's the Monell case of Monell cases. It's brown v board of Ed on steroids.

Perhaps you could respond to the concerns of the citizens that are paying for all of this We want answers & have received none They attempted to murder Trump & you guys are attacking @TomFitton ? WOW

I made a song for women who say they don’t care about males in their spaces.

Australia, it’s time you went full reductio ad absurdum on this self-ID clown show. (no, it's not a term that @jk_rowling came up with, it's a real legal term) Every single adult male in the country — roughly 10 million blokes — has one week to file a statutory declaration and legally become a woman on their birth certificate. Boom! New female birth certificates for all. Congratulations: there are now zero males left in Australia. Suddenly: - Every prison in the country is a women’s prison. - Every women’s sport is now stacked with 6'4" ex-blokes who “identify” as female. - Every scholarship, quota, safe space, and DV refuge is wide open to the former “men.” - And your fearless leaders — Jacinta Allan, Anthony Albanese, and Saint Julia Gillard — have to stand up and explain how they’re still “protecting women” in a nation where biology has been legally erased. Bonus: it’s an INSTANT CURE FOR MISOGYNY. No males left means no more sexist trucks, no more “male violence,” and zero reasons for the pollies to clutch their pearls over a billboard ever again. You could even go full send: with no legal males remaining, you simply “remove all males from the country” by admitting the new reality — the entire male population is now legally female. Crisis solved, right? If self-ID is the progressive masterstroke you’ve all been screeching about, this should be celebrated as the ultimate inclusivity triumph. Let’s see how loud the misogyny truck outrage gets when it’s your definitions getting torched. Perhaps @salltweets will organize it.

Dear friends and supporters of free speech, I am Eldur, a gay man from Iceland who has spent years speaking out against the sexualisation, medicalisation and sterilisation of gender non conforming children and the erosion of gay rights, women’s rights and free expression. Today, 9 June 2026, I am standing in Héraðsdómur Reykjavíkur (Reykjavík District Court) facing a lawsuit brought by Ugla Stefanía Kristjónudóttir Jónsdóttir — co-author of the notorious Dentons “playbook” and Reykjavík City’s “transgender issues specialist” — simply because I called puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones on minors what they are: child abuse. The preliminary hearing is imminent. The case is moving forward. And right now, £6,000 (just under one million ISK) in legal fees is due immediately to keep my defence alive. This is not just about me. This is a SLAPP-style attempt to bankrupt and silence a gay man who refuses to lie about sex, biology, and the safeguarding of children. Ugla’s lawsuit is designed to scare anyone who dares question the current orthodoxy. If it succeeds, it sets a precedent that critics of gender ideology can be dragged through the courts and financially ruined for telling the truth. I have no big organisation behind me. I am an ordinary Icelander relying on the goodwill of people worldwide who still believe in evidence-based safeguarding, free speech, and the right of gay men to say that men are not women and that kids need protection. £6,000 is needed now — today — to pay the next tranche of legal costs and continue the fight. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a real difference. If you believe children should not be sterilised, that women’s spaces should remain sex-based, and that gay people should not be cancelled for defending biological reality, please stand with me. Donate here to my legal fundraiser:
gofundme.com/f/help-me-defen… (GoFundMe is in euros but converts automatically; every pound/euro goes directly to my legal defence.) Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support keeps this fight going when the activists want me silenced and broke. With gratitude,
Eldur Smári Kristinsson
Icelandic gay man, free-speech advocate, and defendant in the fight for truth. Share this. Donate if you can. The children — and free speech — are counting on us. 🙏

Je veux présenter mes excuses, au nom des Français, pour avoir enfanté la French Theory (qui a enfanté la pire des merdes idéologiques : le wokisme). Nous avons donné au monde Descartes, Pascal, Tocqueville. Et puis, dans les ruines intellectuelles de l'après-68, nous avons donné Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze. Trois hommes brillants qui ont fabriqué, dans l'élégance de notre langue, l'arme idéologique qui paralyse aujourd'hui l'Occident. Il faut comprendre ce qu'ils ont fait. Foucault a enseigné que la vérité n'existe pas, qu'il n'y a que des rapports de pouvoir déguisés en savoir. Que la science, la raison, la justice, l'institution médicale, l'école, la prison, la sexualité, tout n'est qu'une mise en scène de la domination. Derrida a enseigné que les textes n'ont pas de sens stable, que tout signifiant glisse, que toute lecture est une trahison, que l'auteur est mort et que le lecteur règne. Deleuze a enseigné qu'il fallait préférer le rhizome à l'arbre, le nomade au sédentaire, le désir à la loi, le devenir à l'être, la différence à l'identité. Pris isolément, ce sont des thèses discutables. Combinées, exportées, vulgarisées, elles forment un système. Et ce système est un poison. Car voici ce qui s'est passé. Ces textes, illisibles en France, ont traversé l'Atlantique. Les départements de Yale, de Berkeley, de Columbia les ont absorbés dans les années 80. Ils y ont trouvé un terreau qui n'existait pas chez nous : le puritanisme américain, sa culpabilité raciale, son obsession identitaire. La French Theory s'est mariée à ce substrat, et l'enfant de ce mariage s'appelle le wokisme. Judith Butler lit Foucault et invente le genre performatif. Edward Said lit Foucault et invente le post-colonialisme académique. Kimberlé Crenshaw hérite du cadre et invente l'intersectionnalité. À chaque étape, la matrice est française : il n'y a pas de vérité, il n'y a que du pouvoir, donc toute hiérarchie est suspecte, toute institution est oppressive, toute norme est violence, toute identité est construite donc négociable, toute majorité est coupable. Voilà comment trois philosophes parisiens, qui n'ont probablement jamais imaginé leurs conséquences pratiques, ont fourni le logiciel d'exploitation à une génération entière d'activistes, de bureaucrates universitaires, de DRH, de journalistes, de législateurs. Voilà comment on a obtenu une civilisation qui ne sait plus dire si une femme est une femme, si sa propre histoire mérite d'être défendue, si le mérite existe, si la vérité se distingue de l'opinion. C'est de la merde pour une raison simple, et il faut la dire calmement. Une civilisation se tient debout sur trois piliers : la croyance qu'il existe une vérité accessible à la raison, la croyance qu'il existe un bien distinct du mal, la croyance qu'il existe un héritage à transmettre. La French Theory a entrepris de dynamiter les trois. Pas par méchanceté. Par jeu intellectuel, par fascination du soupçon, par haine de la bourgeoisie qui les avait nourris. Mais le résultat est là. Une génération entière a appris à déconstruire et n'a jamais appris à construire. Une génération entière sait soupçonner et ne sait plus admirer. Une génération entière voit le pouvoir partout et la beauté nulle part. Je m'excuse parce que nous, Français, avons une responsabilité particulière. C'est notre langue, nos universités, nos éditeurs, notre prestige qui ont donné à ce nihilisme son emballage chic. Sans la légitimité de la Sorbonne et de Vincennes, ces idées n'auraient jamais traversé l'océan. Nous avons exporté le doute comme d'autres exportent des armes. Ce qui se construit maintenant, en silicon valley, dans les labos d'IA, dans les startups, dans les ateliers, dans tous les lieux où des gens fabriquent encore des choses au lieu de les déconstruire, c'est la réponse. Une civilisation se reconstruit par les bâtisseurs, pas par les commentateurs. Par ceux qui croient que la vérité existe et qu'elle vaut qu'on s'y consacre. Par ceux qui assument une hiérarchie du beau, du vrai, du bon, et qui n'ont pas honte de la transmettre. Alors pardon. Et au travail.

Can I claim "disenfranchisement" rising to the level of a constitutional rights violation of the 2nd Amendment if I'm declined a cash gun sale using an expired Blockbuster Video membership card?

Opaque networks of nonprofits, LLCs, and professional service providers make it hard to track or reform coordinated activities, whether in immigration protests or in guardianship systems. Both often rely on layers of tax-exempt organizations, court appointments, and public funding with very little oversight. The Corporate Transparency Act got watered down, so it’s tougher to know who’s really behind the LLCs and nonprofits getting contracts, grants, or appointments. We can see some basic details in state corporation filings, but that often falls short, especially with layered ownership or shares. The same is true for IRS Form 990s. especially the shorter EZ filings that can make it easier to mask similar networks and hide money flows or conflicts of interest. The answer can’t always be to devise a new program and slap it on an old system. We need real scrutiny of the financial infrastructure that makes these kind of abuses possible. With our aging population, we can’t ignore this quiet epidemic of power-of-attorney, elder, and guardianship abuse. Families need real transparency and better protections. It’s time for IRS reform that actually works. #ProtectOurParents #ElderAbuse #Aging

This is the problem and you should file a complaint with CMS. Whoever filled out your ACA application failed to properly inform you of the financial implications of accepting ACA coverage. Those agents have E&O coverage, you could possibly file a claim against the agent for failure to disclose. It's their legal obligation and they should pay your deficit but you are correct. I talk to hundreds of them every month who tell me they came here for the benefits. They are collecting the social security money that they're telling us won't be available when I get to collect even though I have spent 40 years paying into it. They are living in senior subsidized housing while I talk to a 75 yr old American who is living in a shelter and can't get housing. It infuriates me daily. If we Sent these people back to Their countries, our people would have housing, would be able to afford medical care and food. Demand increases costs and we have too much demand. The Democrats made sure to import so many that it'll take 20 years to get them out of here.

Son feministas hasta que Bad Bunny les baila pegado. Son socialistas hasta que descubren lo cómoda que es volar en primera clase. Son ecologistas hasta que toca un fin de semana en yate o un vuelo a las Maldivas. Son tolerantes hasta que se enteran de que votas a la derecha. Son pacifistas hasta que alguien discrepa de ellos. Son partidarios de la libertad de expresión hasta que escuchan algo que no les gusta. Son antielitistas hasta que los invitan a un reservado VIP. Son ciudadanos del mundo hasta que les toca tenerlos de vecino. Son partidarios de repartir la riqueza hasta que les toca repartir la suya.

A very sad announcement. I have just been convicted a second time for 'hate speech' and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge's frustration. In an ironic turn of events it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least. Call me naive but I didn't think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration. In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence. Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.” That's a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth. Even the regime media write: "It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove's main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration." You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible. Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it. The only argument they present is that I created a "hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration. Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail. Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win. If you want to help me, you can do so via the links below. If you can help in other ways, please contact me via DM. If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.

Since the fraud task force is asking for tips, I just a lengthy email to @AGcolinMDonald about the state-sanctioned pain patient torture and mass murder program still in progress, based on the fraudulent claims about "prescription opioid medications" coming out of the health agencies and their Advisory Committees that continue to torture and KILL American pain patients! I am anxiously awaiting a response, because all of the patients being NEEDLESSLY tortured and all of the patients who have DIED over the past decade as a direct result of these fraudulent policies DESERVE an investigation!

Did you know that guardianships are weaponized so much that a lawyer tried to put Donald Trump under guardianship in 2016? True story. He filed in Florida probate court. Argued Trump had personality disorders. Asked a judge to declare him mentally incapacitated. Trump beat it. Here's why that matters for the rest of us. October 2016: Attorney James Herb filed in Palm Beach County. The judge rejected it fast. Called the claims "wholly without merit." Ruled that political speech is protected by the First Amendment, and a state judge can't declare a presidential candidate incompetent. Herb refiled in January 2017 after the election. Lost again. He appealed to Florida's Fourth District Court of Appeal. Herb v. Trump, 4D17-0555. Lost in October 2017. He took it to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018. They declined to hear it. Three courts. Eighteen months. Petition dead. What worked for Trump: Lawyers of his choosing. Money. Public visibility. Courts willing to apply the First Amendment. A clear record showing he was functioning. Now picture the same petition filed against your grandmother. No press. No counsel of her choosing — the court appoints one. Her bank accounts frozen before any hearing happens. A guardian ad litem speaking for her, not with her. Different outcome. Every time. This is the asymmetry we keep talking about at NAPP. Guardianship law looks neutral on paper. In practice, it protects the people who least need protecting — and traps the people who can't fight back. The Trump case proves the defenses exist. The First Amendment. Due process. Real evidence requirements. Judges willing to apply them. The question NAPP asks: why do those defenses vanish the moment the alleged incapacitated person is elderly, isolated, or already inside a probate courtroom? A system that works for the powerful and fails the vulnerable isn't a justice system. It's a sorting mechanism. That's what we're fighting to change. #GuardianshipReform #ProtectedPersons

The UK just deployed a political weapon it's only used once before in modern history. And nobody is talking about what it just backfired into. 🚨 🚨 🚨 KEIR STARMER BANNED FOREIGN JOURNALISTS FROM ENGLAND TO STOP A RALLY → IT PRODUCED THE LARGEST ANTI-GOVERNMENT MARCH IN YEARS 🚨 🚨 🚨 The Home Office issued entry bans on 11 foreign nationals ahead of the 16 May 'Unite the Kingdom' rally in central London. Rebel News founder Ezra Levant. Multiple journalists. Commentators. Banned from the country. To stop a march. Metropolitan Police deployed 4,000 officers. Live facial recognition. Drones. Dogs. Horses. The result: tens of thousands — some estimates reaching hundreds of thousands — flooding the streets of London anyway. THE WEAPON: → UK Home Office entry bans — 11 foreign nationals barred from the country → Prime Minister publicly labeled the rally "extremist" and "hatred and division" → Starmer framed it as "a battle for the soul of our nation" in direct pre-rally statements → Police mobilized at a scale typically reserved for state visits or terror threats → Live facial recognition deployed across central London → Rival pro-Palestine march simultaneously permitted on the same day → Metropolitan Police prepared for 50,000 — the actual crowd exceeded preparation → Government rhetoric amplified international media attention across the US and Europe THE TARGET: → A march organized around "national unity, free speech, and Christian values" → Organized weeks after Reform UK seized 1,350 council seats and control of 13 councils in the 8 May local elections → Reform's gains came primarily at Labour's direct expense — Essex, Sunderland, council after council THE MATH: → Reform UK: 1,350 seats gained in a single election cycle → 13 councils flipped — including Essex with 42 seats → Starmer's response: ban journalists, deploy 4,000 officers, call the march extremist → Outcome: the bans became the story, the march became a symbol, and the streets filled anyway Read that again. 💀 Every ban Starmer issued handed organizers a government-censorship narrative 💀 Every officer deployed turned a political rally into a national confrontation 💀 The suppression didn't shrink the movement — it advertised it ⚠️ Reform just proved it can win elections. The march proved it can also fill streets. ⚠️ Starmer called it "a battle for the soul of our nation" — and then lost the visual battle on live television ⚠️ This isn't a fringe moment. This is what a political realignment looks like in the streets. They're showing you the arrests and the police lines. They're NOT showing you what this sequence actually means — a government that just lost 1,350 council seats in one night responded to the aftermath by banning journalists and calling a march extremist, and the streets answered with the largest visible opposition mobilization in years. You don't ban foreign journalists to stop a fringe event. You ban foreign journalists when you're afraid of what the footage will show. And you only deploy 4,000 officers with drones and facial recognition when you already know the crowd is going to be too large to ignore. Process that. Most people won't see this. RT to change that. 🔥 I'll keep you updated as this unfolds, turn on notifications this is EXTREMELY important.

The Uniform Probate Code’s full guardianship rules are turning the very system we built to protect elderly Americans into legalized abuse. If someone is truly incapacitated, they literally cannot consent to a lower-court probate proceeding — they need the full protections of higher due-process standards under the 14th Amendment. But if they can consent, they don’t need full guardianship at all. Full guardianships should NEVER be handed out in lower courts. Least restrictive options are mandatory, but never used because the subject would not be able to be exploited by the system. Yet that’s exactly what happens every day under UPC Article V frameworks. Incapacitated adults cannot consent, but the “protections” added are paper-thin. When they fail — and they fail repeatedly in every state — every failure lands squarely on the protected person: lives isolated, assets drained, families torn apart, all without them ever committing a single crime. A Guardian ad Litem should never be allowed to serve as both guardian and attorney — that’s an obvious conflict of interest. Every investigation (by visitors, GALs, or professionals) must come with Miranda-style warnings. Right now, when they talk to the elder, family, friends, or doctors, every word is later used against the person in full rights-removal proceedings — for the rest of their life — without them ever knowing their words were being weaponized. “My words were used against my mother in court and neither I nor she  knew it! No warnings, nothing! I'm devastated!” This is a due-process violation on steroids. Mathews v. Eldridge must hold here. Guardians and conservators should be certified to the same rigorous level as nurses — by federal law. Today you can have a bankruptcy, zero experience with elders, and just pass a meaningless online cert saying “I won’t steal” and boom — you control someone’s life and money. You don't even need to know the laws. A janitor could qualify. We need reform where guardians and conservators who aren't previously nominated by the subject, especially professionals, have No bankruptcies. No financial red flags should be allowed. Perfect credit must be required. Bonds must be mandatory. And the protected person should NEVER have to pay for litigation they never wanted. The petitioner files — the petitioner pays for EVERY lawyer on every side, including the guardian’s, conservator’s, and all the interested parties’ attorneys. Not the subject where it just drains their estate. It's supposed to be conserving their money, not draining it and only benefitting the attorneys and professionals.  The petitioner MUST have skin the in game, or it's simply going to continue to be abused for eternity.  NAPP is drafting a law-review article on exactly this constitutional failure and the concrete fixes we need: limited orders only, supported decision-making, mandatory warnings, nurse-level federal certification standards, strict financial disqualifiers, and petitioner-pays cost-shifting. @grok — please review this analysis and break it down: Is full guardianship under the UPC framework unconstitutional in practice? How do we fix it with real reforms so we stop abusing the elderly through the “protection” system we created? Senate must act. Tag your senators.

Respectfully sir, I 100% disagree with your opinion that a physician who spent 6-8 years sitting in a class room or doing course work and anatomy lessons online, another 2 years in residency, and let's be fair and say another decade treating patients, but has NEVER experienced what it's actually like to BE A PATIENT in pain due to any etiology, including acute, chronic, cancer, palliative, Sickle Cell, Trigeminal neuralgia, CRPS, Kidney Stones, herniated discs which deform the spinal cord in the neck and back, or be not a horse, or even a Zebra patient, but some animal no one has EVER seen before, and none of the specialists understand. Someone who has seen over 150 different doctors, at hospitals and clinics in 3 different countries, tried nearly 200 different modalities and drugs (not including full agonist opiate pain meds) has a 13 inch medical file documenting everything, and showing page after page of objective proof indicating that, not only is this patient suffering constant moderate to severe pain, they have literally tried EVERYTHING in their attempts to help relieve it. By the time these patients actually get appointments with these "specialists" sir, THEY ARE THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS ON WHAT IS AILING THEM, WHAT IT FEELS LIKE, and WHY IT FEELS THAT WAY. They've done countless hours of research, combed through studies, medical textbooks, trying to answer the questions those "specialists" don't have answers to, and won't bother to take the time to find the answers for a patient they have 15 minutes to form an opinion on, an opinion which BTW is VERY often formed before they EVER see or speak to the patient, and one they are so completely sure of, that no matter what the patients says, or shows them within those records, this God complex afflicted "medical professional" is certain they know it all and after having glanced over the last 10 pages of records, completely ignoring the rest of the 13 inches of records and test results, is certain Tylenol and Advil will be just the thing to ease their pain. (As if this patient has gone round and round for 20 years on the medical merry go round, and NEVER thought to try Tylenol or advil. So, no sir, your physician has no flipping clue what we're dealing with, what it feels like, or how much we know about whats literally killing us.

They arrested the President of the United States of America 4X, charged him 91X, indicted him 4X, spied on his campaign, sabotaged his first term, jailed his supporters, raided his private residence, censored him, gagged him, tried to bankrupt him, and attempted to remove him from state ballots. When all of that failed they tried to assassinate him not once but four times. And they go on national television to talk about how we need to vote for them to save democracy.

💊 Big Pharma Settlements & The Patient Pinch: What’s Really Going On? The news is out: Albertsons is the latest giant to settle for a staggering $774 MILLION over opioid-related claims. They join the ranks of CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid (which was practically flattened by its settlement). While these massive headlines focus on corporate accountability, they’re creating a ripple effect that hits patients the hardest. Here’s the breakdown: 📉 Why it’s getting harder to fill prescriptions When these "Global Settlement Agreements" hit, the market tightens for everyone.

**Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS)** is a set of lingering psychological and emotional symptoms that can occur after the initial (“acute”) physical withdrawal phase from opioids (or other substances like alcohol or benzodiazepines). It happens as the brain slowly readjusts to functioning without the drug, often after tapering off or stopping long-term opioid use.<grok:render card_id=“70c2b5” card_type=“citation_card” type=“render_inline_citation”><argument name="citation_id">0</argument></grok:render> ### Brief Summary (Ready to Post): “PAWS (Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome) is the second, longer phase of opioid withdrawal that kicks in after the worst physical symptoms (like aches, nausea, and flu-like feelings) fade—usually after 1–2 weeks. It involves mainly mood, cognitive, and motivational issues that can last weeks, months, or even up to 1–2 years in some cases, though symptoms often improve gradually with time and support. Common symptoms include: - Mood swings, irritability, anxiety, or depression - Intense cravings and urges - Sleep problems (insomnia or vivid dreams) - Brain fog, trouble concentrating, or memory issues - Fatigue, low motivation, or anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure) - Stress sensitivity and emotional numbness PAWS is very common (up to 90% of people in early opioid recovery experience it) and is a major reason for relapse if not managed. It stems from changes in brain chemistry—your natural dopamine and stress systems need time to heal. Staying in treatment, therapy, exercise, healthy routines, and sometimes medication-assisted support can help a lot. Recovery is possible—symptoms do fade with sustained sobriety.” This is a neutral, factual overview based on medical sources. PAWS varies greatly by individual factors like length of use, dosage, tapering speed, genetics, and co-occurring conditions. **Important:** This is not medical advice. If you’re experiencing PAWS or tapering opioids, consult a doctor or addiction specialist. Sudden stopping can be dangerous—professional guidance (including possible Medication-Assisted Treatment like buprenorphine or methadone) is strongly recommended. Resources like SAMHSA’s National Helpline (1-800-662-HELP) offer free, confidential support. Let me know if you need more details on coping strategies, timelines, or anything specific!
