Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

The war on rainbow crosswalks has come to Texas. After DeSantis cracked down and tore up rainbow crosswalks across Florida, the community has resisted in protest. Now, Abbott is doing the same in Texas, seemingly at the direction of Libs of Tiktok. Subscribe to support our journalism.

While feeds in the US, Europe, and Israel’s neighbors have been filled with ghastly images of death and harrowing casualty statistics in Gaza, most of this information has not reached the audience that arguably needs to see it most: the Israeli public.

A surprising sight in St. Clair County, Michigan: A man waving Fixodent denture cream before the county commissioners at an August meeting. “I am an unfluoridated child,” he declared, “with a set of uppers and lowers.”

a foundational belief of the modern right is that there is no such thing as organic disagreement with their policies, it’s all directed from the top down they just can’t conceive that ordinary people find them horrifying

raridash - unexpected!

“It may look confusing to outsiders, but what we’re trying to do is avoid making precedents that a Democratic government could also use.”

Whoopsie

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know.

He’s such a lying fucking clown.

WELKER: Are you looking at invoking the Insurrection Act? VANCE: We have to remember we are talking about this bc crime has gotten out of control W: Crime is down in both Chicago & Portland V: Crime is down bc they are so overwhelmed at the local level they are not even keeping stats properly

Immigrants stole all the Portland calculators

You can just share my video from me instead of sharing a screen recording of my video from a content farm account that isn’t on the scene btw.

In South Carolina, more than 150 unvaccinated schoolkids are under quarantine after being exposed to measles. Across the U.S., total case counts could be even higher than the official number. n.pr/4obbfnK

If Joe Biden was unable to close an umbrella there would have been +/- 1,000 think pieces in the newspapers of America questioning whether he was capable of discharging the duties of the office of President of the United States.

Fact check: @propublica.org is an outstanding news organization that does fact based reporting. The work is credible, reliable, timely and without fear or favor. If you aren't already familiar with ProPublica, give it a read: www.propublica.org.

We are an independent, nonprofit newsroom with more than 150 dedicated journalists. For those who want to read the facts of our reporting — and the documents on which it is based — here’s the full story:

STEPHANOPOULOS: ProPublica reported that several members of the Trump administation have similar questions about their mortgages VANCE: ProPublica is basically a left-wing blog S: Do you dispute the facts they reported? VANCE: I haven't read it. I have no idea. I certainly question the source

Sorry, not sorry, neighbors.

I know 14.3 and 17.3 aren’t great numbers but in Jared’s eyes anything under 18 is prime picking.

‘TRON: ARES’ has earned $14.3M in its opening day at the domestic box office. For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen? VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer B: But this was a WH decision

i have joked that neoreactionaries just watched too much anime, but goodness fucking me

This is what fear of immanentizing the eschaton sounds like.

Tagged along with roomies to Costco because I hadn’t been to one (Sams down south when I visited my parents but not here). I didn’t pick anything up and just made comments, noises to entertain myself, and poked at stuff. Was a nice change of pace to do something different but bear is tiiiiired.

This.

Today is the second time in a row I missed 40K Hangout Day because my body is shit (especially with rainy weather). Had to wish my roomie a fun time and to say hey to everyone again. And there will be another chance in two weeks, I try to tell myself. But it still sucks. I’ve gone a month stuck

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

School can be challenging for kids with disabilities. There’s ableism, discrimination and bullying. Chronically ill kids are just learning what their “normal” looks like, and they need and deserve the support to adapt. These cuts are going to harm kids in the poorest (and reddest) areas the most

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

Just know that I'll never intentionally post ai. If anyone has suspicions or I overlook something, let me know, and I'll delete it if it is

Another devastating blow for the disability community as this administration cuts almost every employee responsible for administering funding & oversight for IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). Education should be a basic human right..and disabled kids are just as deserving.

One day I'll meet someone. Someone who can deal with my low energy, my homebody nature, my need to be pushed and poked and prodded to be kind to myself. And in return, they will receive so much love, so much affection, and get to witness me coming back to life, finding joy in the world once more 💜

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

No money in the red kettles. Mutual aid instead. (And no, I'm not taking questions about this.)

“The Biden FBI” Who was President on January 6?

Nice recap

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

This isn't about porn or gooner brain or whatever, it's not even about looks, this is about power. They don't want to see beautiful women, they want all women in media to be nothing but objects for the pleasure of (white) men.

Any libs still trying to push Gavin Newsom are wreckers. It’s really that simple.

Imagine spending four decades of your life behind bars for a crime you didn’t commit. That alone is cruel and unusual punishment. You finally manage to secure your freedom, only to have ICE immediately grab you and send you to a detention centre. Justice for Subu. Let him go.

Its fucking covid. Its fucking covid. Its fucking covid. Wear a fucking mask. Wear a fucking mask, wear a fucking mask

⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater. The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable. interestingengineering.com/science/chin...

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
