It continues to bother me that the health clinic I use the most only has parking in a garage that requires scanning a QR code. What are the people without phones supposed to do? Pay for parking? This is why they say it's expensive to be poor.

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

Puffins return to Maine after half a century of absence. Eastern Egg Rock now hosts the only puffin colony in the United States, restored through decades of painstaking work after the birds were hunted out a century ago. buff.ly/RB0Ibz0 #ShareGoodNewsToo

The deportation of Mario Guevara is deeply unjust and should sound alarm bells everywhere. An Emmy-winning journalist legally present in the United States was arrested for reporting on a protest. Now he's being deported.

I’m told ICE attacked us—despite us being off the street, courtesy of the state police—to create a spectacle because Kristi Noem was present today. Here’s some footage of her and her team on the roof of Broadview. Everything is content creation to these fascists.

Noooo. The world is poorer today. She is someone who I always just missed, like she stayed with a friend (and told him to give his poor spider something to hide behind), I show up to Madagascar a week after her, I am not invited to the JGI event, sigh. Everyone says she was always kind. ♥️ Rest well.

This is gonna be me and since they destroyed international aid jobs, I do not think I can afford it

Omg. I’ve never seen anything like this in a judicial opinion:

"This week’s messages to help stop biphobia included encouraging students to wear bisexual pride pins to show allyship, learn about bisexuality and its history, and validate the feelings of bisexual individuals,” the AG said, like that's a bad thing. SHE THINKS THAT'S BAD.

Seriously, please donate to Wikipedia. It used to be the first thing that came up in a search. Now it's somewhere after all the crap AI summaries. I worry it will disappear.

found this old tweet from my sister (my nephew is now 19 and has not changed)

Do it! My dad had MS and one of my brothers has it. The difference medical research made in one generation was amazing. Just imagine what they could do in another.

Free Mario Guevara!

Mediterranean. The offshore patrol ship Furor will depart from Cartagena ready to assist/rescue flotilla boats carrying aid. Spain...rallied 17 countries behind a joint warning that any attack on the flotilla will bring accountability before int'l courts. Italy has also sent a frigate to the area.

🚨🇪🇸 Breaking: Spain has dispatched a navy vessel to support the Global Sumud Flotilla heading to Gaza. Speaking from New York, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said Spain “condemns the genocide” in Gaza and demanded Israel uphold international law and allow Spanish citizens to sail safely in the...

ooh, this is interesting. this one says "AR doesn't stand for Assault Rifle"

We took a walking stereotype of the ugly American and made him president. What an asshole.

"Israel has emerged as a regional killer of journalists... This latest killing spree is not only a grave violation of international law, but also a terrifying warning to journalists across the region: no place is safe." — Sara Qudah, CPJ regional program director

I love Minnesota dad.

OMG, you need to stop what you're doing and watch this right now. A Dutch vision of M*GAfied Disney! 🤣

No no no I dissent. I dissent. Fucking GA ICE, starting international incidents and arresting journalists

The thing that confirms that Tyler Robinson was in a relationship with his transitioning roommate is that his parents aren't providing a lawyer for him.

"They're politicians, what are they supposed to do? Literally fight in the streets?" Unashamed to say this made me cry.

Here is her opinion — storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... — which is reached despite this view of the Trump administration's actions:

ICE put some of them in straightjackets for 16 hours. They had credible fear determinations but our govt doesn't care and now they're going to be shipped back to their home country where they will be further tortured and murdered. And apparently no one has jurisdiction??

Started watching The Dead Girls on Netflix, described as provocative and gritty. Ok, but it's more comedic than provocative. Like, does Netflix not understand their own shows? I also like how it's done as a period film, the music, style, sound effects are very 1950's, 1960's films.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

ACPC covers these Atlanta city council meetings every time and I'm sure it's so much work this is not a criticism but if I'm not following along things like this pop up in my feed and I'm like 'we have an airport secret shopper? And what the hell is that? And it costs half a million dollars?'

In this last season you could viscerally feel his frustration at being a black man surrounded by clueless white people and so it's appropriate he's the first, I guess. Not right, but appropriate

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

He deserves this

They're doing it again but in Ghana, where they pretend to have the country's agreement that detainees won't be sent to their home countries to be tortured to death, then when it starts to happen they throw up their hands, it's a sovereign nation, nothing we can do. J. Chutkan sees through the bs.

In other words, it is violence done with rhetoric. Rhetorical violence is polite. It is genteel. But it is never civil. Rhetorical violence is a brutal tool used by the dominant hegemony to re-make the world into one that harms those they perceive as a threat. Charlie Kirk was a master of it.

@criminalerin.bsky.social Hey are you back? You should come back.

My dear friend Stephanie's 26-year-old son, Jaden, was recently shot and killed in Atlanta. He leaves behind a fiancee and 4-year-old daughter—"his whole world," as Stephanie put it. Stephanie has created a fundraiser to help cover rent and bills as they face the unimaginable. Any amount helps.

Can't wait to ask colleagues there about this

🚨🚨🚨🚨 This is a photo from a few minutes ago in Tulkarem in the West Bank. Today, Israel abducted over 1,500 Palestinians in the West Bank, the largest number since 2001.

OMG. Omfg.

Has any dead person ever had their memories so quickly and totally white washed as Kirk? The gaslighting is deep

Turning Point USA made a literal watch list of professors, primarily women, queer folks and people of color, and made us targets of political violence. I’ve received hate mail and harassment and death threats off and on for nearly a decade in part due to that man’s organization so 🤷🏽‍♀️

This really pisses me off

Gun violence is out of control. The victims of gun violence are Republicans, Democrats, independents, and kids, who have no political affiliation whatsoever. We need to tone down the incendiary political rhetoric, for sure, but we also need to do something about guns. The guns!

Hmmmm..... I don't know the truth of anything here but turf wars in the far right manosphere, yeah

enormous development in the Cop City RICO case today: the Judge indicated he would be dismissing *at least* the RICO and Arson counts of the indictment, which would eliminate 56 out of 61 people from the indictment. Official answer tomorrow, and it will certainly be appealed.

Me: "Finished that statue of the vagina mary that you asked for" Priest: "You mean the virgin mary" Me: Priest: Me: yeah

I tested chatgpt for a literature review and got mostly articles that were *almost* real, with titles edited to make them fit my topic better, and then several that were just fake with made up DOIs. It was trying so hard to please me.
