years ago they allowed users to create a custom programmable search engine interface. I've clung to that and the relevance of results is definitely superior.

The power of the American legal profession, a cartel that regulates itself, is immense. Its unique power in the US has been noted since Tocqueville. So the fact that many law firms and bar associations have been folding to the administration so far has been something of a puzzle.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

‘We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

Trump Has Been Sued 198 Times for Withholding Funding. It Hasn’t Stopped Him. (Gift Article) Immigration demands for highway dollars, D.E.I. rules for homeless grants: how Trump has tried to wield spending to get his way.

We've been tracking nearly 200 lawsuits against the Trump administration over its attempts to leverage federal funding to impose the president's agenda.

The most startling pattern: The administration seems entirely undeterred when it loses in court.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Gov DeSantis from designating CAIR as a terrorist organization and punish those who associate with the group.

“Once again, Florida chooses political posturing over the First Amendment,” Judge Walker writes.

This is very much the attitude within CBP (as evidenced in witness video, body cam video, and their own words in their reports), everyone is a professional protester, agitator, antifa, or gang member—but they are all the enemy.

That's right.

Excellent 🧵about a truly outstanding, profoundly effective human being whose life work and legacy have uplifted hundreds of millions. All praise to #FrancesPerkins! #LaborHistory #WomensHistoryMonth

a night scape with a joshua tree to the right, and giant lens flare looking thing at the top, but in the darkness is 100s of red streaks from satalites

im really happy with it the experience

I originally tried long exposures and failed, but if you want to be mad about satellites DO I HAVE A 12 MINUTE EXPOSURE FOR YOU!

the flare is the moon, the wavey line at the bottom is just someones head lamp, zoom in to see all the satellite streaks!

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.

I voted on Election Day religiously until 2004 - the images of voters standing in line in Ohio stayed with me.

I'll tell anyone who will listen to vote early in the midterm.

I am away from my computer, does anyone know offhand if these respective primary totals are low, medium, or high for a midterm year?

Dog walking treat tonight

the greatest sentence ever composed

This Day in Labor History: March 1, 1932. The Norris-LaGuardia Act passed the Senate by a 75-5 vote and was signed by President Herbert Hoover a few days later. This outlawing the most loathsome tactics used by employers against workers!!!

How succession works in Iran and who could be the country's next supreme leader In Iran the supreme leader is the heart of a complex power-sharing theocracy and has final say over all matters of state.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

At the same time, a decidedly anti-union company gets a NLRB pass (I know, NLRB ≠ DOL)

Trump’s DOL Pledges Greater Scrutiny of Companies With Labor-Market Dominance US labor solicitor targets “the Big, the Bad and the Ugly”

Scoop: Trump Labor Dept. "will give greater scrutiny to employers whose market power permits them to dominate their respective labor markets in ways that can facilitate employment-law violations," labor solicitor Jonathan Berry told staff in a memo today www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

As a community that stands up for human dignity, we must protect all workers from exploitation. We look forward to the implementation of a Residential Construction Minimum Wage following the completion of the study in LA.

I can't say how I stumbled upon this old post, but I'm glad I did. The Nation that Never Was needs to be read/re-read this year, the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
We need to reflect on the fact that it was a document of secession, not about Liberty and Justice for All.

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

Amid what detainees say is a clampdown in Dilley, TX, including seizures of kids' drawings and crayons, Christian Hinojosa stuffed letters in her jacket to hide them from guards. She told @micarosenberg.bsky.social and me her story. We published the letters today.

More good ideas coming out of Minnesota! 👇My only change would be to up the ceiling for the bounty amount to $10,000. There almost certainly will be more than one wage theft/tax fraud victim, and the informant almost certainly is taking a significant economic risk in talking to authorities.
