people don't ridicule conservatives enough. it's one thing that *actually* bothers them

Gavin Newsom strikes again

i was surprised to learn that bc most protein powders are considered dietary supplements, they basically fall into a regulatory grey area there's no federal limit on the amount of lead they can contain and neither manufacturers nor the FDA have to prove these products are safe before they're sold

ICE is planning to hire contractors to run an around-the-clock social media surveillance program to track our every move. If you think this will just be used for deportations - think again. This is a violation of every single American’s privacy.

This Tribe is taking on coal. The Northern Cheyenne have a long history of defending their land from coal mining. Now, they're showing how to make clean energy progress and developing solar infrastructure for their community.

Proof that public outcry can still be helpful, if temporarily. The money was rerouted to the National Center on Deafblindness, who will then distribute to the other programs. But it is only one year's worth, so keep an eye on it.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Every day at noon, no matter how busy, Johny Merida Aguilar left his construction job and hurried to his 5-year-old son's school to feed him. His son has brain cancer and generally only accepts food from his father. Merida Aguilar was arrested by ICE in September and faces deportation to Bolivia.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I love BBUK 😆

Trump got his COVID19 vaccine today. He will always have access to everything he needs to maintain his health while denying others the same.

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today. The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly. We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

Sometimes hope blinds you to what is.

Long Covid is more prevalent in children in the US now than asthma. We are fucking destroying the next generations w/our behavior. (And adults.) If you do care about resisting eugenics maybe start by not being the vector that disables a kid in RFK’s US. That is not too much to ask. It really isn’t.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW). The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Now I want to advertise as a photographer who will NEVER post customers' family photos online. Seems like a great way to attract customers -- especially now with AI pulling everyone's likenesses for deepfakes and police

Corporate income taxes are $77 billion lower than last year, primarily due to the Republican tax cuts for the rich. itep.org/trump-tax-la...

I’m shutting it down, packing up my wares, blowing this popsicle stand, getting out of Dodge, and abandoning ship.

It's breaking my heart seeing non-profits struggling to secure donations. NGOs that in the past had no trouble meeting their fundraising goals are now struggling to get even half of what they need. You can donate to Conservation Northwest here: www.earthgives.org/organization...

Hi, I'm a trans Californian who reported on the CA bills. This headline is misleading at best. You haven't noted that he has until the 12th to sign the other bills, leaving that out is irresponsible and fearmongers. People can and should still pressure him on those bills. bsky.app/profile/mady...

I’m looking for that unicorn who is even-keeled but also empathetic and not afraid of “feelings.”

Facts are antithetical to an enduring authoritarian regime

California has now banned algorithmic price fixing. The state has outlawed the practice of landlords colluding to raise prices using rental software and AI. This is a huge victory for renters in the biggest state in the country.

So tired of people being more concerned about being called “sexist” than they are about perpetuating sexism

BREAKING: Federal judge temporarily blocks the Trump administration from sending federalized National Guard troops to Portland.

does... does he think that the capitol of Washington State is Spokane?

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

there's no way that giving your likeness to an AI corporation could possibly go wrong

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I hope they enjoy the many coming lawsuits

A judge on Saturday ordered the Trump administration to halt its mobilization of 200 Oregon National Guard troops to protect the ICE building in Portland and its officers amid nightly protests. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...
