🥳 A small town in #Oregon is celebrating after officially stopping a large data center from being built in their community‼️ The #LaPineCity Council voted unanimously to reject the proposed project 👏

RIGHT NOW: NJ state troopers with riot gear are forcing protesters supporting the hunger strikers of Delaney Hall and media ppl down the street. They’re firing flashbang grenades at the ground to force people to disperse, per the @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream www.youtube.com/live/yTlpCYk...

interesting how elected officials who say they want to “lower the temperature” only hold the unarmed side of a protest to that standard.

They're still killing people at sea and it's important to remember that Pete Hegseth deserves impeachment as much as Donald Trump. Also, a note to the officers who execute these orders, from a veteran-led organization: you swore an oath, and someday you could face a court martial ⚖️

A California appeals court has thrown out a lower court's ruling in a child abuse case after finding the judge relied on a made-up legal precedent that had been flagged as fake before the ruling was issued.

ICE broke the finger of a Reuters photojournalist today. After two days of drenching people in pepper spray, people have been adding more and more layers of protection, rendering the spray useless and leading to ICE using their short metal batons that they swing with full force.

Everything has to change. Everything. Do not settle for politicians who want to go back to "normal." "Normal" was the garbage state of existence that allowed all of this evil to take root and thrive. Everything has to change.

He destroyed a wing of the White House. Every day or so that fact enters my mind and it still seems incredible that nobody lifted a finger.

ICE is targeting journalists at Delaney Hall. They’re hitting photographers, breaking fingers and smashing off lenses.

Of all the harm this administration has done to US science, today's proposed changes to the way federal grants are awarded and administered is the most damaging yet. The text of the federal register document is impenetrably tedious by design, so here's an excellent summary of what it says.

Wow, this was really catastrophic.

I would like to formally welcome the gnats to the resistance and thank them for their critical role in Operation Humiliate Trump sports.yahoo.com/articles/dan...

i am just a bit incredulous at the idea that anyone could possibly believe an event in this nations capital could be remotely 'nonpartisan' in this day and age

This is a small town in the Romania-Ukraine-Moldova border region along the Danube River. A plausible mistaken overflight of a Ukrainian target… or just convenient plausible deniability for Russia to test the proverbial fences of NATO.

A Russian Shahed drone crossed the border into Romanian space and struck a high-rise building in Galati. The explosion triggered a fire. Reports of multiple wounded.

East coast humans: Adopt this kitty!

First, you get gladiators. Next, your whole empire falls.

Nearly 10% of the world has been threatened with another Trump war of choice.

Tom Steyer wants voters to see him as a climate crusader now. But let’s be real about where the money came from. Steyer built his fortune at Farallon Capital through investments tied to coal, fossil fuels, mining & global energy infrastructure. Environmental watchdogs spent years documenting it. 🧵

Listen, I was born poor and rural. My high school mascot was a literal hillbilly. I understand white trash culture. I can say with complete confidence that this is white trash culture.

The surveillance state is a problem. AI companies market their tech as crime-prevention tools. Govt monitors our every move to crack down on dissent.

Kazakhstan launched its "Rain Enforcement Project" to combat drought in the Turkistan region. The government is partnering with UAE experts to use cloud seeding, hoping to boost regional precipitation by up to 20% and protect over 900,000 hectares of crops as climate change threatens yields.

The funeral march for CBS News continues. I worked as outside counsel for CBS News for six years, defending CBS journalists who got in trouble with tyrannical regimes in the Middle East. Now it looks like the same tyrannical attitudes run the network. Very sad.

Proposed NDA language goes well beyond draft regs. NDA unconstitutionally tries to bind federal employees from disclosing any info post-employment. This goes against existing & well-settled case law. No one should sign. And we will sue to protect 1st Amendment rights.

EXCLUSIVE: I just revealed that Rep. @tomsuozzi.bsky.social lives at C Street. That’s the DC townhouse run by The Family, the secretive Christian group that runs the National Prayer Breakfast. Suozzi pays $800/month. He's kept it secret for years. There’s more…

Truly low turnout in some counties in South Texas. In Starr County, Trump got roughly 9,500 votes in 2024. 90 votes counted in the GOP runoff today. In Webb County, Trump got roughly 33,300 votes in 2024. Roughly 2,300 voters today.

⚡️NATO strengthens eastern flank with new command structure. The new structure would allow for the rapid deployment of German and Dutch troops to Latvia and Estonia in the event of a conflict with Russia.

I asked Google. It said: Yes. President Donald Trump is celebrating his 80th birthday on June 14, 2026, by hosting an unprecedented UFC event on the South Lawn of the White House.Dubbed "UFC Freedom 250," the event will blend sports and patriotism as part of the country's early semiquincentennial.

We murdered another person in a boat today. Two survivors.

Paxton wants to force the Ten Commandments into public schools while refusing to even abide by them himself. Talarico, by contrast, actually has principles. He practices his faith while strongly defending the separation of church and state.

Tonight, as captives continue a hunger strike inside Delaney Hall—the ICE detention center in Newark—ICE mercenaries are brutalizing demonstrators on the street. This is about immigrants' freedom—and everyone's freedom. ICE are the front lines of an aspiring dictatorship. crimethinc.com/ICEmelts

COVID raises your shingles risk. New data from 110,000+ patients out of Taiwan shows that post-COVID Shingles raise risk of ➡️ Bell's palsy ➡️ Guillain Barré ➡️ Myasthenia Gravis Risk are increased for 3+ years. Sounds like another good reason to get a Shingles vaccine. buff.ly/H1N73zd #medsky 😷🧪

Experts estimate the death toll from babies not receiving vitamin K shots may be greater than reported. More than 700 newborns died from spontaneous bleeding in their brains in 2024, a common result of vitamin K deficiency.

They killed it to study it. I hate humans.

A masked man in an armored vehicle, dressed as if he is in the middle of a war zone, training a weapon on unarmed protestors. This is simply incompatible with democratic expression.

This needs to be emphasized

(6/X) No one who went along with Trump should ever be forgiven. And those that broke the law, must go to jail.

the justification for foreign collaboration is that science is reproducible and observer-independent science isn’t the property of any nation, religion, ethnicity, or other personal attribute it was unscientific when the Nazis disbarred scientists on such grounds it is still unscientific today

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4
