Given the high suicide rates for veterans, cutting mental health and suicide prevention jobs at the Veterans Administration is UNCONSCIONABLE. The Trump administration is full of incompetent, hateful monsters.

The desperation to keep medicine as a private sector profit generator while even the worst of the right can no longer deny the obvious benefits of single payer schemes and bargaining at scale.

Northern Itay again. There's snow all around, just in case you forget that it's The North and not The South. I'm really tired of cops who do stupid things to spin out the drama, but still 8/10⭐ www.imdb.com/title/tt1951... #TV #Drama #Italian #detective #thriller

“It confirms what we already knew — this was not about public safety, it’s about stoking chaos and fear and terrorizing communities,” said state Sen. Royce Duplessis. www.nola.com/news/catahou...

The John Adams Society began quietly excluding women from membership this semester, former and prospective affiliates told The Crimson. It is now effectively functioning as a single-sex organization. @abbysgerstein and @JackBReardon report. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Good grief, even for a Conservative that's an astonishingly stupid take; or maybe Hoare indulges in a spectacular degree of self delusion.

True to their name, the ICE Gestapo are not just detaining people, they're also, allegedly, torturing them too. There has to be accountability for this.

Kudos to the student paper at the U of Utah for this great piece of reporting. And kudos to several faculty openly speaking out about an institution that is increasingly different from the one that wowed me 7+ years ago

Largely ostracised, trans women in Neuquén were often sex workers, addicts and homeless. Monica Astorga welcomed them to the church and created an innovative housing project especially for trans women. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... #CatholicChurch #TransRights

This is the best analysis I’ve read about Trump’s alignment with Putin, and the future for Ukraine and Europe And it accords with my optimism. On the ground, Ukraine and Europe can resist the globalist oligarchs arthursnell.substack.com/p/americas-w...

But Putin isn't waiting, he's a real threat now and the US encourages him.

Having seen the terfs' mantra of "the Supreme Court has been very clear" repeated a gazillion times this year it really is delicious to see the SC's words specifically used against them!

This now blocked account, "sffreviews" (@sffreview.bsky.social) is very much a bot, as I will demonstrate with four screenshots. More in the alt-text.

For those who didn't believe it before, it's now in black and white: The US is no longer an ally of Europe. Europe must defend itself. My commentary on the new US "security" strategy @tazgezwitscher.bsky.social @taz.de taz.de/Neue-US-Sich...

This seems important to me. Sometimes it seems that the internet is quintessentially ephemeral but we are impoverished if we allow that perception to be the reality. www.poynter.org/reporting-ed... #Journalsim #archives #media #digital #history #research

I'm sure theres a listing or review somewhere out there that calls this a tense psychological thriller. But only because they didn't dare print turgid, tedious, unbelievable mess. 5/10 ⭐ It's on Channel4 streaming if you really must. www.imdb.com/title/tt1555... #drama #thriller #detective

This is contemptible. Not only do we now have confirmation Hegseth has been lying from the jump, but it seems neither he nor his team understand that killing everyone on a target list *becomes* an illegal No Quarter Order if targets try to surrender or are neutralized. Their semantic games are vile.

Finland is one comparatively successful model, but not just because schools teach critical thinking. Finland has high social trust, strong public-service media and coherent institutions. The whole system supports verification and open deliberation, you can’t copy the surface without the structure.

It's always "more complicated than that." Nevertheless this thread (unrolled so you don't have to go there) brings together some interesting graphs. How many should be on the spurious correlations site? 😀 threadreaderapp.com/thread/19975... #Economics #TrickleDown #GoldStandard #MoneySupply

But it's clearly a gerrymander for partisan advantage and the Supreme Court says that's just dandy! Seems the system of checks and balances doesn't function so well when the Orange guy writes himself the checks and puts his thumb on the balances.

FFS, how many times does it have to be said? DO NOT use Lithium Ion for static installations. They don't need the energy density and we don't need the fire risk. LiFePO₄ is cheaper, inherently less risky and available in grid scale quantity. Sodium is likely to be even better.

Hey #Linux peeps and especially #Ubuntu users. This looks entirely normal except that it's the THIRD TIME TODAY. What gives? A symptom of my install being locally broken or something wider going on? #MySQL #tech #updates

My flatmate and I have received a letter from Fürer Farridge. I guess they electronically combined duplicate addresses from the electoral register to save money. Even so the cheapest bulk price I can find mailing London households would cost £1.2 million. So they need the donations. #politics #UK

BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
