"Out of ‘Safety of Our Attendees’" is the key phrase, and should serve as the standard for other organizations.

Flawless ambush predator.

Hosting the border czar and ICE agents in City Hall (and its parking areas) is a violation of the City’s separation ordinance and broader City policy. These are in place to protect our residents and City staff.

Thomas Massie is cooking right now and explicitly states that UAE Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was sending torture videos to Epstein

A go-to for Trump when he was a developer was to stiff contractors then threaten to/actually sue them if they tried to collect. They often gave up because they couldn't afford the legal fees He's basically doing nuisance suits meant to demoralize his opponents but in criminal court

I was talking to my wife the other day and she said, "the tech guys wanted a computer that would tell them what to do and as soon as they got something they could BELIEVE was that they went all in"

High schools all over New Hampshire have been having walk outs. *New Hampshire* ok? This generation is letting this radicalize them.

It is so fucking insane how we let federal lawmakers give commentary like they are on a CNN panel rather than say what they are going to do.

BREAKING: 74 Courtesans working at a legal brothel in Nevada are unionizing with @cwaunion.bsky.social.

Kaiser healthcare workers are striking. 31,000 people strong. #kaiser #healthcare #strike #unionstrong #patients

Lawmakers renewed their push to pass the SAVE Act, which would block millions of Americans from voting. It failed before — and it must fail again. Tell your senators to stop this attack on the freedom to vote: bit.ly/4tmVIor

A4: sensory perception is 99% subjective, and can change over time/by circumstance. If you want to be welcoming, build in flexibility and lots of ways to opt out. It's hard when people have conflicting sensory needs, but I think it's both people's responsibility to find a solution that #AutChat

A3: masks are great for smells! I carry some vicks vaporub with me too. I always have ear plugs with me. I keep my hair and nails short, and I only wear clothes and shoes I'm comfortable in. I treat my sensory needs as reasonable and unremarkable, but also personal. (eg not "that light is #AutChat

A2: yes, but they're manageable challenges. It's more that they're additional cognitive load, and when I'm already struggling under my current load, they can be the straw that breaks the camel's back. #AutChat

A1: mostly that there are a number of things that are generally accepted as enjoyable that I don't like at all (fragrances, restaurants, music sometimes, cold and carbonated drinks, etc) and vice versa (I prefer putting my groceries into shoulder bags rather than carts, masks and needles #AutChat

A0: Hi! I remember having a number of what I now recognize as sensory sensitivities as a kid. But then I wasn't aware of ANY from my teens into my 30s. If I was masking, it was an unconscious process. My guess is that I couldn't pick them out of the general 'noise' of my inner landscape. #AutChat

Kidney transplant patient locked up by ICE does not have his life-saving medication. STILL!

This is Tom Homan's actual goal and why he is focused on law enforcement cooperation.

What's the difference between states like Florida, where ICE arrests are sky-high, and states like Illinois with much lower rates of arrests? It's all about police & jails. Arrest rates out of homes, workplaces, etc are similar – but reining in sheriffs makes all the difference.

Lotta folk saying FAMU should fight back & resist or whatever but FAMU & other HBCUs above all else need to Remain Open. That is their job right now. To remain open. Harvard should fight. Yale should fight. Ivy League schools with war chests rivaling small countries should fight. They fell first.

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

Since the pronouns labeler is gone.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

Two cases of tuberculosis detected at El Paso ICE facility. Eighteen cases of COVID-19 were also identified. U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar on Friday visited the 5,000-bed tent facility on the Fort Bliss Army base and said she saw many "chronic issues."

A protester was hit by a car tonight while attempting to cross Alameda outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles. DHS officers immediately rendered aid until paramedics could arrive. A bunch of masked SRT assholes also came running out for no apparent reason and set the crowd off

I have yet to see anyone come to terms with this in print, perhaps because of the vastness of the problem: is there ANYWHERE a woman can go in the United States where she isn't forced to interact with rapists, rape apologists, or systems created by rapists (e.g., Microsoft products)?

Artificial light at night may extend pollen season by 1–2 weeks, raising allergy risks. Researchers say light pollution is a public-health “blind spot” urban planners should consider.

we should recognize that a lot of these overperformances would be flying under the radar were it not for @taniel.bsky.social and @boltsmag.org

hatred of unhoused people is genuinely a pipeline to fascism. if the wealthy can get you to dehumanize your own neighbors, then they can get you to do it to anyone.

Jeff Bezos makes enough money to fully fund this literally every two minutes.

This is certainly not an original thought, but it's making me feel absolutely deranged that despite every epstein files dump substantiating various victims' allegations, we're still apparently obliged to act as though the veracity of everything else they've said is unknowable.

The admin is creating incentives to not hire POC unless they clearly, explicitly have objectively superior CVs. Otherwise, you have to create an extensive record justifying the hire. Meanwhile, if you reject POC, you are confident the administration won't pursue a lawsuit.

ACAB includes the guy who invented the Fleshlight

THIS. Every time bozos in the interior voted to give more weapons to the largest LE agency in the country terrorize people at the border and hold them in incommunicado detention in exchange for less enforcement in the interior, we only made today’s nightmare more possible.

Wait, THIS is young Anton Chekhov? This? Good lord. Let that gun go off, daddy

Critical context for anyone baffled by the lack of accountability for crimes, cover-ups and transnational plots at the highest levels of power in public and private institutions. They’re all corrupt.

Massachusetts is considering a bill that could shorten prison terms for domestic violence survivors whose convictions stem from their abuse. Other states -- OK, NY, GA -- have recently enacted similar reforms. boltsmag.org/massachusett...

Take some time on the #Caturday to get into something interesting. Really shove your whole face in there. Metaphorically.

“You don't have to know how to live / It keeps happening either way” from Aubade by Heather Christle

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress. “She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me. But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

This sonnet was so much fun to write. It’s in This Elegance and thank you to @newenglandreview.bsky.social for originally publishing it 💜

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

And it’s not just mental heath crises. Fully half of the people killed by police in the US have a disability. What folx need to understand is that cops are not well-trained in deescalation or conflict resolution. All they have that we don’t is that gun, and permission to use it to end a conflict.
