The hackers wiped out Stryker employee emails. On all devices. Including employees who had their work email linked to their personal phones.

Same thing is happening with the Maryland blue crab industry. Seasonal workers from Mexico are severely limited and so picked crab is ruinously expensive. Visa limits have the result of crashing a whole ecosystem of packing houses, fishermen, boatyards, diesel merchants, etc.

This is the most brilliant breakdown of Israel's true motives you will ever hear:

Trita Parsi explains that Israel doesn't want peace or regime change, it demands absolute regional domination. "For Israel to have total security, everyone else has to have total insecurity."

Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN.

How do you think this all ends, folks?

β€œIt says a lot about where the Republican Party is today.”

As Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social points out β€” the lack of condemnation from the Republican Party of the Ogles & Tuberville Islamophobic β€œovert racism” shows it isn’t a fringe position in their party.

If someone attacks a synagogue because they're angry at Israel, that is antisemitism. It doesn't matter the reason they're angry. Targeting a synagogue because they need to take out their anger on Jewish people--and any Jewish place of worship will do--is antisemitism.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

GOVERNMENT’S MOTION TO DISMISS THE INDICTMENT AS TO

As the United States Attorney’s Office does in every case, the government has
continued to evaluate new facts, evidence, and information to ensure that the
interests of justice are served. Accordingly, the United States hereby moves to dismiss
with prejudice the indictment against Catherine Sharp and Joselyn Walsh, in the
interests of justice.

Accordingly, the United States hereby moves to dismiss with prejudice the indictment against Catherine Sharp and Joselyn Walsh, in the interests of justice.

Similarly, additional video footage shows that, like Ms. Abughazaleh, Defendants Joselyn
Walsh, Andre Martin, Michael Rabbitt, and Catherine Sharp all independently moved away from
the SUV within seconds after they found themselves in its path. As shown below, Ms. Walsh (in
the red circle) can be seen with her guitar under her right arm, standing next to a Broadview police
officer while the SUV was already driving away from her toward the Broadview Facility

With a picture of a crowd, one of whom is circled.

DOJ is moving to dismiss charges against two of the defendants in Rabbit (the case in which @katmabu.bsky.social is also charged).

Last month defendants had pointed out that they had MOVED AWAY from the vehicle allegedly obstructed.

These fully electric cars were slated to begin production in America.

Then came the Trump tariffs, and the Trump policies that killed policies that helped move automobiles to less polluting platforms.

The moves by this administration just accelerated the takeover by Chinese automobile companies.

Who's the "WE"Β making "a lot of money" from skyrocketing gas prices, Trump?

It's definitely not the Americans struggling to pay an extra $1.5 billion at the pump this week.

Nathan Cavanaugh, DOGE staffer w/ no expertise in federal grants, was in charge of cutting funds at the National Endowment for the Humanities using a flawed ChatGPT keyword search.

Not reading the grants.
Not evaluating the work.

Just scanning for keywords & cutting funds.
