L.A. County women's jail inmates allege sexual abuse by guards: 'We're all broken'

Glad to hear that @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov is running for re-election. He and his team have been a fairly effective backstop. Though I imagine they must all be tired.

Well, we know who he’s going after next.

Mask wearing is much more useful than hand washing against Flu A in a tested office setting. Total risk reduces 8.75% to 0.45% w/N95 on the infected student. Influenza A transmission risk: Long-range airborne: 54.3% Close contact aerosols: 44.5% Fomite: 4.2% pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Not a bad idea.

“Public service sometimes requires standing firm in the face of threats,” Powell said. Put that on a protest poster.

Hi. Please call your Rep and Senators and ask them to defend the independence of the Fed. I called and got voicemail. Let’s fill the mailboxes.

Wonder how long this is going to stay up.

Greenland

Fare thee well now

World Cup and 2028 Olympics will be great.

‘We have to show up’: Portlanders gather in the hundreds to protest Border Patrol shootings, immigration enforcement https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2026/01/we-have-to-show-up-outraged-portlanders-gather-in-the-hundreds-to-protest-border-patrol-shootings-immigration-enforcement.html 

I just read a post that I thought was about protests in the US because of the violence and then realized it was about Iran. 🙁

Y’all, really, listen to some Bobby Weir tonight. Dance like you’re at a show 35 years ago. You’ll feel a little better. At least for a little while.

I had such a crush on Bobby Weir. He somehow got hotter the older he got.

This week just gets worse and worse. RIP, Bobby.

After killing Renee Good, ICE fascists in Minneapolis have now arrested and detained 4 members of Oglala Sioux Tribe. ICE HAS ARRESTED AND DETAINED INDIGENOUS AMERICANS. These ICE fascists are not here to keep us safe, but to advance white supremacy. Defund and abolish ICE permanently.

The guy who first dressed as Portland Frog, a major symbol of our protest and then other national protests, has been arrested while peacefully protesting. Prints of this painting by Simran Gleason are being sold to support his defense. www.simrangleason.com/prints/p/por... #pdx #protest

Timeline cleanse.

Local police tell us they are there to protect and serve, so why aren’t they protecting people?

Hundreds come through to form a human banner spelling out: “IT WAS MURDER — lCE OUT!!” 📍 San Francisco, CA — Ocean Beach

The gun.

There's A LOT going on right now in struggle b/w democracy & authoritarianism, so it's hard to keep up. But it's going to be REALLY important that we pay attention to (and keep pushing back against) how election lies (from 2020) are being mobilized in ways that threaten election integrity in 2026.

Let’s revisit this in a month and see if anything was done.

South Carolina has reported 99 new measles cases in the past 3 days. Meanwhile RFK Jr. is “building a case” to argue that the U.S. shouldn’t lose its measles elimination status. But we’ve lost it and hell of a lot more. He only cares about optics. Reality need not apply.

@ktvufox2.bsky.social why did you not air (even beeped) the words of the ICE agent calling Renee Good “fucking bitch?” Why did you cut off the video before that?

CES review on the news. $1200 pair of glasses that act as a hearing aid. Or maybe get some hearing aids. You can get some OTC ones now for like $200.

This is probably widespread at other places, but TIL that Home Depot claims to use facial recognition. www.homedepot.com/privacy/priv...

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

I’m glad to see ‘The Inflatables’ still showing up. This shit is serious, but also so fucking stupid and our reaction needs to represent both of those things.

This is like my mom yelling at my siblings and me from another room in the house telling us to stop it.

My new band name is “delete and report spam.”

🇺🇸 MINNEAPOLIS VETERAN: "They are terrorizing the population, in Afghanistan we never wore masks.” (From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social )

Good news. For the first time in 25 years there is no drought anywhere in California. abc7news.com/post/drought...

I think I would have laughed at this guy. Such fragile children.

Rep. Casten is meeting the moment. Watch the clip, his words on the floor go MUCH harder than the words in this post.

Haha. Not clicking on this. I’m guessing it’s the equivalent of rural Midwest diners.

In conclusion: (2/2)

We don’t know who needs to hear this, but the flu is getting out of hand. And we needed to make a post about it. Here are our pretty direct thoughts, because sometimes our social media manager/infographic designer is tired & can’t think of a way to put it more gently. Please make good choices. (1/2)

@crawlieswithcri.bsky.social I do appreciate the bird and cat and other critter photos you drop into my timeline. Much needed on a day like this. 🙏

Call your reps and ask them to sign onto this.

@gwenckatz.bsky.social I think tomorrow is a good day to wear my frog shirt. 🙁

@phd.sccgov.org can you please start posting again here. Thanks.

Not the point, but he’s wearing more makeup in the video than I have over the entire last decade.

They should not have banned gas, but rather only allowed electric.

Good riddance.

Flu-like activity in the U.S. is now at the highest level ever recorded, surpassing any level seen since 1997, the earliest for which data is available. The CDC says there have been at least 11 million illnesses and 5,000 deaths due to flu so far this season. abcnews.go.com/Health/flu-a...
