Trump’s Make America Sick Again plan takes another step forward.

I hope every company that tries to do this gets shut down so hard that it becomes a third rail no other company is willing to touch.

Here's a new one: ICE detained a man in Utah who had been arrested for a suspected drug sale ... that turned out to be dried pinto beans.

Utah case was dropped but the man, who arrived in US as a minor and has deferred action, was transfered to ICE.

NAACP Salt Lake City: “A detention center designed to rapidly process deportations risks creating a system that prioritizes detention first and questions later, an approach that has too often resulted in civil rights violations, family separation and the erosion of due process.”

Utah Senate/House Democrats: “We will do everything in our power to defend the constitutional and due process rights of all those who call Utah home.”

SLC Council: “Our neighbors — no matter where they were born — deserve safety, dignity and the opportunity to thrive. News like this undermines those goals for our community.”

It’s a ‘bleak day for our state’ — Reactions pour in after ICE bought a SLC warehouse Reactions to ICE's purchase of a warehouse for a reported detention center were quick and forceful among Utah officials and interest groups.

SLC Mayor Erin Mendenhall: “Let me be clear. A detention center does not belong in our capital city — full stop.”

SL County Mayor Jenny Wilson: “We cannot allow aggressive and often unlawful federal enforcement tactics to take root in our community.”

Voices for Utah Children: “We are deeply concerned about the negative consequences of having an ICE facility in our state, especially for children in immigrant families. …This will not make us safer or stronger; it will only increase family separations.”

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.

You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

Oh, hell no

Trump ended the IRS Direct File program that allowed millions of taxpayers to file taxes for free.

That happened after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government to block the IRS from launching its own program.

Intuit also donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?

Geez, this is bleak

I used to be mad about it, now I'm just happy they're still having fun.

I saw them in concert a couple years back and they played the whole blue album and it still kicked some serious ass 🤘🏻

And who just gave this corporation a pardon?

Donald Trump.

The OP might just be one of the worst ratios I've seen on Bluesky

It'll give NYT reporters something to tut tut about after they have decided diving deeper into conflict in the middle east is old news and not worth the front page anymore

The First National Study of Neighborhood Parks: Implications for Physical Activity An extensive infrastructure of neighborhood parks supports leisure time physical activity in most U.S. cities; yet, most Americans do not meet national guidelines for physical activity. Neighborhood parks have never been assessed nationally to ...

Skateparks are the fourth most used recreation space in terms of total weekly use hours…ahead of things like dog parks.

And if we want to teens to be healthy and active, we need to create spaces for them to do their thing.

I told them that the only pocket parks in the city that are almost never empty (eyes on the street) are skate parks.

Want lively public spaces where kids and teens can participate in active, social hobbies? Then stop looking askance when they actually show up.

Back in architecture school, I designed a skatepark to accompany a multi-family housing project. At my final presentation, a member of the review board noted that one of the community concerns was crime in the area and asked if a skatepark would exacerbate the problem. (1/2)

Skateboarding is a unique urban art/sport that attracts people (often teens) to get active outside, often in underutilized spaces. Forward thinking cities (Paris, Malmo, Minneapolis, etc.) are embracing skateboarding to help advance urbanism and meet sustainability goals.

Stories ≠ literature, and I swear they're just coming up with these things to piss us off

Not who I would have guessed to pass Kobe in highest-scoring 😅

83 points on 43 FGA and 43 FTA has to be the most ludicrous stat line in NBA history.
