Beautiful recalcitrant house lion is charmed into letting me use the de-shedding brush

Don't forget who the Catholic Church is stanning the pope. They're still a home for bigotry.

The catholic monopoly on American healthcare is one of the major reasons our healthcare is so shit Religion should have no place in healthcare

Lmao

Israel hit all over Beirut. Strikes were in nearly all the neighborhoods surrounding my house. Reports saying many injured and dead. Israel seems to be intensifying before a ceasefire is implemented

I cannot keep track with how many notifications I'm getting from all over Beirut and south Lebanon right now of the places that Israel is obliterating. There are multiple reports of multiple massacres in the past hour alone.

Boston DSA needs proportional representation- let's have a leadership body that reflects our chapter! For a detailed explanation of our proportional representation bylaw proposal, and our other recommendations, read on: open.substack.com/pub/bostonmu...

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

Every part of the lily plant is deadly to cats - even drinking water that lilies were sitting in can kill them. Other popular spring flowers like tulips and daffodils can also make them very sick, but there are plenty of beautiful and safe alternatives.

The U. of Washington stripped its Director of Middle East Studies of his position for writing an email that said “Israeli actions tell us that they seek the destruction of the state, not just its ruling class” and that Iran had not been pursuing nuclear weapons. In other words, for stating facts.

if you like this you should check out the faction of DSA fighting for a democratic constitution @marxistunitygroup.bsky.social

Bacon is remembered for making a strong case for formalizing how people should investigate nature but there’s little discussion of the fact that he firmly situated his framework in a belief that man’s role (and he meant men!) is to dominate and exploit nature

supreme court cases are exercises of power and political will. the language and the interpretive methods are tools to reach the desired outcome. michael + the 5-4 crew do a good job of showing this, but it is remarkable how much most law schools and legal publications totally ignore it

“You couldn’t ban trans-affirming therapy either,” say the very smart Elena Kagan, who knows full well that states are freely banning schools using trans kids’ pronouns as well as gender-affirming care—which is infinitely more expressive.

Interesting how the NYT soft peddles this by saying "critics say". No, Ben Gvir who wrote the law, says that.

New: The White House is signaling that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not a must-have to end the Iran War, potentially setting the stage for Iran to continue to flex its strategic position over one of the world's busiest oil shipping channels for the foreseeable future

The notoriously deferential Associated Press is finally calling Israel's attacks on Lebanon what it is— an invasion. In an attempt to ward off the inevitable crying and screaming from pro-Israel media watchdogs like CAMERA, they explain why in this article.

Free DC

And also is in the process of legalising the death penalty in their concentration camps. No really.

There is no precedent for this rate of March snowmelt in the Sierra Nevada. Many stations have lost more than 12 inches of snow water equivalent in 30 days, including @cssl.bsky.social. Half of that came in the past week. Statewide snowpack is at ~30% of normal, precisely when typically peaks. #CAwx

'set up' and 'by charter' are misleading here because they imply that these were matters of USPS institutional design that have been in place for a very long time when they were actually introduced very historically recently in a project of institutional vandalism against the public sector

I have studied China for years and have been banging the drum for buffer stocks in essentials like food and energy with Western policy makers. The response was always some version of market fundamentalism: it’s not efficient, it distorts prices etc. Well, here we are. peri.umass.edu/publication/...

Wow - Denmark has almost completed the transition to a ~100% EV market in record time.

Daphy Michel should still be here

The Defense Minister of Israel says it was "blood libel" to go after Israeli soldiers caught on camera raping a Palestinian.

So good

The Israelis bombed a bridge over the Litani river. They are actively cutting off South Lebanon from the rest of the country.

In the last 24 hours, Iran has: - Struck three ships trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz, disabling a Thai cargo ship - Blown up a large oil storage facility in Oman - Struck two oil tankers at harbor in Iraq, setting both ablaze. - Blown up oil storage tanks next to Bahrain’s main airport

So subset of boycott supporters took it upon themselves to declare the Target boycott over but the people who actually started the movement have spoken out today no one talked to them and the boycott lives. 🧵

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"
