Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated). It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings. It has written majority opinions in only 3. Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was sent to a foreign concentration camp and BEATEN, TORTURED, and STARVED. - made to kneel overnight with guards striking anyone who fell from exhaustion - denied bathroom access - deprived of sleep - two weeks later he had lost ~31lbs US tax dollars paid for this.

Santa Barbara is the 94th largest city in California. Yesterday, more people attended Santa Barbara's NO KINGS protest than Trump's military parade in Washington, D.C. See chart comparing these two events, along with a drone shot courtesy of Ann Shaw/Society of Fearless Grandmothers, Santa Barbara

For NO KINGS, Indivisible Santa Barbara planned a human chain along a mile+ stretch of beach sidewalk. No way we'd complete the chain, right? Watch the video and see. #nokings #indivisible #indivisiblesantabarbara @maddow.msnbc.com

Turns out, mass deportation is a major economic disruptor… When farmers can’t make their harvest and restaurants can’t put food on their tables, people start to notice. A *stunning* change in strategy here. #EconSky www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/u...

“Pretty much wherever you are, you’re probably less than 30 minutes away from your closest No Kings event.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social with @democracynow.org We hope to see you at your local #NoKings Day mobilization on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Red adverts stoke fear; why not do the same? Show troops on streets. People hungry. Families torn apart. Medical progress halted. Jobs lost. The difference – it’s all real, you don’t need it to be overdramatized like the GOP does… just show people what is happening, matter of fact.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

The significance of this IEA finding from 2024 is that continued global deployment of BEVs for land transport will decrease fossil fuel consumption in 2025 or 2026. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋 #TheFutureIsElectric

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

Insidious to prevent people from even *buying* health insurance on the exchange after kicking them off of Medicaid. Republicans want millions of Americans dead, plain and simple.

We won’t survive four years of these conditions.

JPMORGAN: “.. The trade war shock is still material. .. we now estimate an effective ex-ante tariff rate of 14.4%. This is akin to a $475bn tax hike on US households and businesses, worth 1.6% of GDP (still sitting close to the largest tax hike in the post WWII period).”

The California Secretary of State should waive the first year of annual franchise taxes for new small businesses, or until their gross receipts exceed a small amt. $800+ to incorporate is a high burden on many small businesses, and just encourages many people to operate outside of a business entity.

Here’s the fun part about all of this – because the feds are turning a blind eye and the people are distracted by the chaos, corporations are going to run amok with more unethical conduct and outright fraud than ever.

Trying to sic government agencies on decent journalists for reporting on the reality he has wrought… nothing to see here…

Someone stole my sandals from the beach while I was walking :/ #SantaBarbara

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

The Devil’s Golf Course Death Valley National Park #film #photography #Portra

We expected hundreds of thousands of people yesterday. Instead, millions of Americans flooded the streets to demand an end to Trump’s authoritarian power grab. Trump and Musk have spent their first 75 days in office trying to overwhelm us and make us feel powerless, but we’re not going anywhere.

Great turnout for #handsoff in #SantaBarbara! @indivisiblesb.bsky.social

Several thousand in #SantaBarbara showed up for the #HandsOff March. By far the largest protest I’ve seen here.

It was the Dunning of tymes. It was the Kruger of tymes.

A generational fumble, from which we as a country will never recover.

I just received notice that my health insurance premium is being raised almost 17% (once again). The system has to break at some point.

I don’t think most Americans have understood the full impact of the shift: There is no longer confidence that the law is binding. When one can’t find recourse in the courts, businesses and individuals will change their behaviors and ways that dramatically reshape the economy for the worse.

Can someone explain to me how this is beneficial to Americans when we have a shortage of transplant nephrologists?

The United States will betray Ukraine. I am ashamed today to be an American citizen. I am ashamed of how Donald & JD treated President Zelenskyy in the Oval Office. It desecrated the the Oval Office. Nothing like this has ever happened before - at least not in public view. Shameful moment for USA.

So I’m in Death Valley with my film camera. I have a 1980’s 35mm Nikon lens in my pocket. As I’m hiking up a steep trail, the lens falls out (cap gone immediately), rolls 50 feet down the trail. Or, really, it bounces down rock by rock. Totally fine, not a scratch on the front element. Wild.

What's a React component you wished existed? #javascript #webdev

Just had my first experience with AI augmenting a physician's work. I requested a copy of the visit notes. In the summary section, there were: - Misunderstood statements - Inverted observations ("does" vs "does not") - Misspellings of common medical terms Anyone else have experience with these?
