Today, the court recognized that poisoning a residential community with toxic chemicals is a profound abuse of power by DHS.
Proud of our team @democracyforward.org. We must continue protecting the right to live in one’s home without fear of chemical weapons being used by the government.
Searching for replacement headlights online and I do not love that I am immediately presented with ULTRA SUPER BRIGHT drop in replacements.
I was tempted, but we do, in fact, live in a society!
THE CITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT HAD TO TELL THE POLICE HE'S FUNDING HE WORKED ON THE CITY COUNCIL OF LOS ANGELES
i want to draft white papers for 85k a year that nobody reads. this is my real calling
The same day WaPo reports that Russia has provided Iran with intelligence on locations of US ships, aircraft, personnel and assets in the Middle East, Trump’s Treasury Secretary announces the administration is removing Russian oil sanctions.
I can’t do this anymore
To take this seriously a sec: when your political-economic system allows massive inequality to explode, it creates a class of people who have no material problems but do have the resources & power to make their trivial irritations the central business of politics—at immense material cost to others.
i saw a post by a new mother who explained how she almost fell down an anti-vaxx rabbit hole. it had to do w/, being pregnant, she had no agency - there was a constant set of directions she had to follow. choices about vaccinations felt like the only place she was allowed to assert control
"The Trump administration likes to paint immigrants as hostile, violent drains on American society. Maria was just the opposite, and thanks to her deportation, housing for those fifty families may now be in doubt."

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.
Not a lawyer, but it seems like Hegseth's explicit order to relax rules of engagement, thereby deliberately endangering civilians, would make this a war crime for which he is responsible. He should he prosecuted as a monstrous war criminal at the earliest opportunity. His order killed 165 children.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.
But that young colonel was ITERATING. Nobody else in the world has guys who can iterate
People say BlueSky is an echo chamber but we have road cyclists, gravel cyclists, mountain bikers, single speeders, fixie riders, cargo bike riders, e-bike riders, hybrid riders, recumbent riders, bikepackers, randonneurs, and I'm sure we even have a few unicyclists among us
I saw on r/nursing this week that a nurse reported a colleague for wearing meta glasses to work. That has a billion HIPAA and other legal violations written ALL over it and that person should be fired
very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation
Inject this entire piece into my veins 👇🎯💯
NIH leadership wants to strip worker's rights from the majority of scientists on its campuses.
But, the NIH does not get to say whether we are a union or not. We do, and we are no strangers to having to fight for our union. Time for a short history lesson. 1/n

I am banned from the library of the Supreme Court of the United States.
The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
The point of packing the Supreme Court, for example, is not to destroy it, it’s to make it capable of doing its job and retaining “legitimacy” in the long term. The right-wing alternative is to just override the court!
I hadn’t realized the fuller context here (ship was unarmed and returning from a multilateral training exercise, sub made no attempt to rescue survivors) but even the underlying act was bad.
Strong Accountability Option is becoming increasingly unavoidable if we want to remain a country.
