Before IDEA, almost 1.8 million disabled U.S. students were completely blocked from educational opportunities. But since IDEA’s passage, the number of disabled students and children receiving IDEA services and attending school has continued to rise. #idea50 www.americanprogress.org/article/idea...

They are so willing to proceed until exposed/apprehended. This is their MO.

Ugh

I’ve been to the one on Snohomish. Really enjoyed it. Love that it’s just down from the other Pie company .

Was calling Z our feisty semi feral for the night for the first time she didn’t come in. So I pull up the tracker +she’s INSIDE the neighbors house across the creek! We played the lost cat tone and voila ! She’s running to the garage . She has a collar but the tag went awol. So P suggested this .

Slotkin too

It’s a good article that explains the real dangers to students of generative AI and also

Crimes Against Humanity

Alito grants a stay is while the full courts considers the matter: he’s the justice responsible for circuit that contains Texas. Of course, we all understand what the conservative justices as a whole are likely to do… but his move sets up their turn. Rick Hasen: electionlawblog.org?p=153164

Well this is going to make some people very happy stories.tamu.edu/news/2025/11...

She’s baaaack! I’ve watched this process since day one . So excited to see how it looks when complete. (All the close ups and color /materials discussion are just a bonus )

Keep your eyes on this one folks. This will absolutely be a defining moment for our Republic.

Do NOT cross that picket line, folks!

Many of these are me. I get physically thrashy if I have to touch rough paper towels and cheap velvet too long. I literally vomitted as a child when I touched velvet . Mint toothpaste is the devil . Misophonia anyone ? 🙋

Extremely good long read on how prisons shape local economies and politics. So many moments of clarity where the absurdity of the prison-as-industry proposition just slaps you in the face

Heard about this on the radio. There UNEQUIVOCALLY no defense for swastikas (yes… I know about the other version -don’t be that kind of person )

PNW cat folks - look at this baby! I think he’s in Eastern Oregon so folks in Idaho (which is NOT PNW) might work too!

Still not low enough !

Ellis repeatedly accuses multiple CBP and ICE officials of lying (under oath) and says their "widespread misrepresentations call into question everything" they "say they are doing in their characterization of what is happening." She broadly discredits their testimony as objectively false.

Out picking up hoses before the cold and noticed a spread of mushrooms 🍄 . As I was taking pictures, I was attacked by a vicious forest beast.

Ok, updating this piece about how the DHS has been systematically lying about threats to its agents. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

Unclear if it’s a bot or a human but clearly isn’t America - look how to represents the date

Fast fashion is a crime against humanity.

Dear readers, It was a very new thing . Working at the high end burger place and “Midnight at the Oasis” starts playing . I nearly went to prison. That is my “I will cut you “ if you even say the lyrics to me ear worm.

In am so grateful for people like Anna who give this detail , clearly , without breathless coverage but also don’t dumb it down too much.

I had a pretty fun frost this morning.🌱🍁🌿❄️

Ok peeps - will today be a 70% day? Entirely up to my beloved but cantankerous clients (and me). It’s doubly true working with the fragile comprehension of their employers (I’m really coaching up most of the time )

Happiest Birthday to my favorite violet-obsessed, embroidering-silversmith, and autodidactic skill collecter. You know who you are 💜

Jaime has been a lifeline of deep knowledge for chronic conditions (FMS , ME, LC and others). She’s the science director a myalgic encephalitis group for several years . I’ve learned so much from her.

Look, as a total nerd, I absolutely warned folks the minute Palantir was named. Not all geeks are nerds, not all nerd are dweebs .We have reached our malignant dweeb phase with these turds. The PayPal Mafia are sociopaths and are telling us exactly who they are.

Software utilities, I think, must be treated the same way: regulated (including price) and operated under oversight. Otherwise, they're just a robber-baron monopoly with a stranglehold on the economy. 4/5

Oh lordt

Keep this in mind as we start seeing more and more large scale outages from AWS, Cloudflare, Github, etc. These are the companies hoping to increasingly automate their systems with AI

I thought this was a hyperbolic paraphrase of what Shapiro said, but no, this is the verbatim quote in the clip.

The man was in international pimp who also blackmailed people. Do we honestly think he wasn’t eventually someone’s asset ? He was totally a confidential informant for the feds and likely had a deal for non disclosure .

I had a weird dream that the AI bubble popped and everyone no longer trusted tech companies so we all started working without computers and phones again.

nice try fbi

It’s so true! 😝 I catch myself thinking of reposting and then shake my head and think “why would I do that to other people “

What a coward !

This only ends badly. It always does.

Sooo many companies jumping on the AI bandwagon because their board members own stock in Nvidia and others . Trying to find a reason to use , afraid of being left out in the cold.

This is why I talk about sheriffs a lot when it to comes to immigration: they decide (in most states) on whether to hold people for ICE at all!

@txtbookwitharms.bsky.social Bunz has a Mohawk. He has a bad back - I wonder if they trimmed him like that because he a total punk or the spine injury .

The extent of the prosecutorial and investigative misconduct in the James Comey case is even greater than previously known, a federal magistrate judge revealed in an extraordinary new ruling today. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/james-c...

Now it’s finally hitting reputable sources www.marketwatch.com/story/first-...

Much like how they play anti fear/anti fascist songs at their rallies - unaware of how foolish they look.

I deleted a post about Thiel selling Nvidia. He dumped his stock Sept 30 (ish) according to his SEC filing . It’s not hitting the major news so it felt breathless and I deleted - didn’t like that sources aren’t mainstream.
