What the fuck?

On Monday, I'm talking with Redwood Materials (the battery recycling company) about their new second-life battery program. They're collecting batteries &, before recycling them, placing them in grid-storage applications that can use their remaining energy. Got any questions?

Here’s the full video of the incident, posted to YouTube by me with permission from Raphi Talisman, the witness who took it:

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders. I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

Some Democrats are also transforming their military into cops. But they do it in a nice way.

From the newly released Epstein docs submitted to congress "Elon musk to island Dec. 6"

-It's safe for pregnant people to take Tylenol -It's safe to give your child Children's Tylenol -It's fine to get a combined MMR -It's fine to get an MMRV (MMR+ chicken pox) -It's potentially dangerous to wait until 12 to get the Hep B shot -It's safe to follow the vaccine schedule as is.

ICE has erected a gate to keep protesters out. They are blocking a public street, despite the Broadview Fire Department ordering ICE to tear it down. Join us at 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM. Tell Broadview to tear this fence down.

JERUSALEM (AP) — In 'unprecedented operation,' Israeli army takes over mobile phones of Gaza residents to carry Netanyahu UN speech live.

Al Jazeera correspondent Hani Mahmoud describes his experience working as a journalist in Gaza amid Israel's genocide. “What you see on the screen is only a tiny bit of what we're able to show you. On the ground it's even worse.”

it's funny that no one is talking about the USTR imposed port fees that start next month

This appears to have been the most successful 4chan operation in a while, & was reminiscent of past years when 4chan's efforts extended elsewhere into the right & caused potential offline harms.

New from @abbierichards.bsky.social, based in part on research I provided: TikTok Shop is now selling supplements from a company co-founded by "Plandemic" conspiracy theorist Mikki Willis. The company claims the supplements “bulletproof your immune system,” likely in violation of TikTok rules.

US forces surrounded a community of Lakotas along Wounded Knee Creek in 1890 and used the new invention of rapid-firing Hotchkiss cannons to kill large numbers of the population. Soldiers than pursued the survivors for miles, killing them wherever they were found. 2/

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Folks are leaving handwritten messages on the fence. One of them reads, "You are not forgotten. ICE will meet justice in our lifetime."

A post by @ebonyteach.bsky.social made me realize a lot of people don’t know this: Places that were more racially segregated experienced *more* Black lynchings. Segregation in and of itself did not insulate Black people from anti-Black violence, it enabled it. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

News --> Steve Bannon tells me he fully expects Trump to use the Texas ICE office shooting as the hook to unleash law enforcement on liberal immigration groups by connecting political violence to anti-ICE rhetoric. This is going to get ugly. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2009...

Ismael Ayala-Uribe, 39, died in ICE custody on Monday. He was brought to the United States at four years old and lived most of his life in Westminster, CA. He was the 14th person to die in federal immigration custody this year.

Here’s something that all of you in the UK can do that helps trans people and is good for you too. Not to mention preventing a massive waste of government money.

“Last year, the flu shot was found to be up to 78% effective in keeping kids and teens with the flu out of the hospital. About 90% of the 280 children who died last flu season hadn’t received their annual flu shot.”

“We don’t always know how to predict which kids are going to have the most severe forms of flu, which is why we recommend the vaccine for everyone,” said Dr. Buddy Creech, a pediatric infectious disease physician... “It's a misnomer to think that only sickly kids get complications from the flu.”

🚨 This scene comes to us from Iowa. The man recording this atrocious attack on an innocent man makes it clear that he is a combat veteran, and explains that he is going to video their crimes and he is not to be touched: “I will knock you the fuck out.” 1/2

1/ While everyone is focused on Comey, Trump did this today. How many more of us will be targeted? How many rounded up? How many designated terrorists and prosecuted before those who remain on the sidelines finally open their eyes to what’s happening? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is what you need to be showing @nbcnews.com @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @cbsnews.com @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy Do your damn jobs

2/ I stayed by Monica Moreta-Galarza, who was seeking asylum with her family, until she was discharged from the hospital. “Over [in Ecuador], they beat us there too. I didn’t think I’d come here to the United States and the same thing would happen to me,” she said in Spanish.

Watched a documentary on the El Paso Walmart shooting in 2019. Amazing how Americans forget. The shooting was in fact inspired by felon’s racist rhetoric as the shooter himself said he was convinced of a “Mexican invasion.” 23 people died w/ many more injured. But what did USA do? Re-elected hate.

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Oh they're actually good people, oh they're just waiting for the right message from dems, oh they'll never vote dem but that's fine we should still be nice, there's secretly a big group of socialists out in the cornfield, etc.

Surely a nation’s people would not voluntarily choose self-immiseration just to see their domestic enemies punished on the TV screen

She allegedly operated a ministry in Romania that was accused by local residents of "relocating" children internationally under the pretense of orphan or mission work. She was asked to leave Romania due to local outrage and suspicion regarding the fate and handling of these children…. #bluesky

A DOD employee tells me they've been talking with colleagues, and the most common word they're using describe all of this is "bizarre." They're also noting the security risks associated with a decision to tell the world about a large gathering of the most senior U.S. military leaders.

Hunting humans at the altar of state and capital. Nationalism, militarized police, white supremacy, xenophobia, and capitalism— succintly illustrated. Today in Chicago.

NEW: For decades, the DOJ relied on the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to foil and forestall attempts to discriminate against minority voters. On Wednesday, the DOJ filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to devastate and vitiate much of what’s left of the landmark civil rights legislation.
