Big news here: the White House has backed down from shutting down I-5 this weekend following our reporting last night.

1/4 I just found out the new SNAP rules for homeless people. Firstly, all SNAP is cut off at the end of October until the shutdown ends. But, once it does come back on the exemption for homeless ABAWDS is gone.

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

The word "good" has too many meanings. Someone should look into it. Brought to you by reading a sentence in a book where several definitions would be reasonable considering the sentence and the situation, and they'd all have very different effects on the story.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”

Hey, do you live in Washington State and have been affected by the Visa and MasterCard porn censorship bans? Please get in touch with me! I have an in-person meeting with State Senator Alvarado coming up about this topic and I would love to bring stories from people who've been directly harmed!

I knew sooner or later I’d get all “in my day this never would have happened” old-man-y, but I wish it weren’t about shitstains like this openly running for office (governor of CA) and actually having a shot.

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps. It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

what if we were both girls and we kissed on the world’s only 5th order recursive island

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

alien graffiti can be pretty hurtful 😔

Make no mistake: Alligator Alcatraz IS a concentration camp, and they absolutely ARE planning genocide and ‘ethnic cleansing.’ As a white person, i don’t know what I can do to help, but if all I have is my voice, I will make sure it’s heard.

What Ebenezer cat most wanted was for another cat to accept him and allow affection. Thankful for Mr Fezziwig! #orangecat #catsofbluesky

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

I cannot believe the narrative that she didn't exist. Because she changed her name. TO HIDE FROM PEOPLE HUNTING HER

Do not go gentle into that good night, but do pause from the the tripping and the shrieking every now and again to hike up your pants.

My purse fell from a stable perch and scattered everything and....

My mom's mattress is a huge safety issue. Any help is hugely appreciated gofund.me/8fa22df5

We as a society have gone WAY too far with verification codes. I was just RSVPing to a party, like an actual individual's party, and the service she used (Partify) sent me a verification code. Y'know, just in case someone is out here RSVPing to parties in my name.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Oh hellooo

Last night I discovered (not firsthand thank fuck) that CRPS can cause skin grafts to reopen. I don't have any on my left arm (though I have a couple of meningococcal wounds that healed on their own) but I have several on my right leg. Fun.

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

A quick post-cruise refresher from me before I do any serious delving into any particular current events: Fuck fascists Fuck -phobes Fuck wealthy sociopaths Fuck immigrant-haters Fuck sexists Fuck anyone who wants to invade Canada and/or Mexico Fuck vaccine deniers Fuck this administration Etc, etc

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

NEWS: The USAID official put on leave for disseminating two memos about Rubio's failure to push through life-saving foreign aid was in the process of writing a THIRD memo when fired. We obtained it. It's far more alarming than the first two. www.thebulwark.com/p/what-a-wee...

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks. Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

I want to believe

Seems like a nice day for running around screaming questions at each other that we know full well have no answers

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy’s letter to Senators setting the truth about her cousin RFK jr Straight He is truly unqualified in every way possible.

This is an example of how Dems validate what republicans find as important and position them as the only important things to fund. This is how they contribute to the ideological production of a radical right wing electorate.
