Kansas invalidated a trans woman's license even though she never changed her gender marker.

It's not about the gender marker. It's about targeting trans people and making their lives unlivable.

The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today

Pregnant migrant girls are being sent to a Texas shelter flagged as medically risky Government officials and advocates for the children worry the goal is to concentrate them in Texas, where abortion is banned.

'More than a dozen pregnant [immigrant] minors have been [abducted to] the Texas facility, which is in the small border city of San Benito. Some were as young as 13, and at least half of those taken in so far became pregnant as a result of rape.'

Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.

The Deputy Attorney General just rescinded the policy against no knock warrants in most cases. That policy was an important public safety measure. Restricting their use saved lives. Breonna Taylor died because of one. www.cnn.com/2022/02/22/u...

My nagging side point to this (this is bluesky after all!) is that there are also NO such thing as β€œflushable wipes.” They’ve caused city sewage systems so much $$$ & many backupsβ€”I have no idea why anyone’s allowed to still call them flushable!

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

Sen Mark Warner stunning words after briefing from Trump regime: "Let's bc clear. There was no imminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory."

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing β€˜reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

Pax Christi USA response to military strikes onΒ Iran March 1, 2026 β€” Pax Christi USA, the national Catholic peace movement, condemns the horrific bombing of Iran by the US and Israel, and we urge our nation’s leaders to stop the violence. As we recall the words from the daily readings of February 28, when the gospel reminds us to love our enemies (Matthew 5:43-48), our hearts break for the loss of life and the extraordinary damage being inflicted not only on the people of Iran but also communities throughout the region who are affected by retaliatory strikes.

Read our statement on the immoral and illegal bombing of Iran. These attacks by the US and Israel are catastrophic – they will profoundly undermine any attempt at diplomacy and peacebuilding. We pray for an end to the violence, a cessation of the bombing, and for an embrace of nonviolent solutions.

Just a reminder that Trump didn't just bumble us into an unnecessary war -- he deliberately created the conditions that he's now screaming about

Over a month has passed since we demanded information about the Minnesota children held in federal detention facilities. We have not received a response.

We will not stay silent while Donald Trump and Kristi Noem imprison children.

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

Most of Illinois is in a drought, and the state is unprepared Outdated water use laws, destruction of wetlands, demands of data centers and extreme weather are a dangerous mix.

You can’t manage what you don’t measure.

Illinois doesn’t know how much water is being used. The Water Use Act of 1983 requires reporting, but it’s not enforced & there are no penalties for non-compliance.

That is the first thing that must change if we are to protect our water supply.
