I'm at an early voting location before the doors open. There is a line! Makes me feel a bit optimistic

These are the people who cut food stamps for hungry children because they say poor people don't want to work.

Yes, police in Texas used data from a nationwide network of over 83,000 automated license plate reader cameras to track down a woman suspected of an abortion. The surveillance sparked significant privacy concerns and investigations into how out-of-state law enforcement accesses tracking data.

“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

i'm kinda sad that i'm so out of the loop now that i had never heard of Twin Temple before, but i went off to youtube to give them a listen. i like. so thanks charlie crockett, i guess...

RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...

18 hrs. ago, Credit @huffpost.com "A LA man gave an impassioned speech calling out state Republicans for their racist gerrymander. “I believe the country as a whole is rebuking your party. Y’all are in a death spiral,” he said. “That’s why y’all have to redistrict. That’s why y’all have to cheat.”

just saw a roadkilled armadillo in my neighborhood. Global warming sucks, but i have to admit i'm kinda excited about our newest leprosy-laden residents.

every country has an endemic Type of Old Person, like how the Southern US has “peepaws that set up at the Hardee’s to talk shit”. what is your country’s Endemic Type of Old Person?

1. In a draconian new policy, Texas Tech is banning writing about LGBTQ+ topics. The ban is the first don't say gay or trans policy to apply to students themselves. It applies to any thesis/dissertation moving forward. They are using AI to scan everything. Subscribe to support our journalism.

We don't know how much it will cost, how we will pay for it, or exactly where it will be. But we can say with absolute certainty that it's going to have a HUGE economic return that will make it a worthwhile public investment... even though it's never happened before.

If you know people in Missouri, tell them what's up

Tornado warning sirens at midnight... Happy Spring to all those that celebrate...

Yesterday, The Sheriffs, MPD and law enforcement brutally put down a peaceful anti-ICE protest outside of the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis. There has been little to no coverage of what is happening in Minneapolis since Trump's supposed stand down, which is why we need to spread the word.

May you never experience finding out you lost your basic human rights on a social media app.

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold. We really are not a very good-natured country.

I haven’t shared here yet but if any of you are in the area please keep an eye out.

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

it's wild how since the 1990s (at least) the whole conservative movement has been jerking off in public to fantasies of the white male gun owner standing his ground in general and against a rough, unaccountable, masked, federal over reach police-military force..... and here we are.

the 45,000 gun deaths we suffer each year are just the price we pay to live in a society made safe from government tyranny by an armed populace

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

Local police officers and sheriffs in Mobile, Alabama, are abducting a man from the waiting room of a car dealership mechanic shop on behalf of ICE/DHS. During the kidnapping, he is administered an unidentified sedative.

Missouri's governor recently authorized the state's National Guard to assist ICE with clerical duties. Black police officers fear the trust they've built with communities of color could take years to rebuild. (@npr.org)

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

In Durango, Colorado, ICE GOONS violently assaulted an elderly woman during a peaceful protest. They stole her phone, grabbed her by the hair, and threw her down a hill.

This Is Fascism

Feels like a situation where -- and look, I'm just spitballing here -- the media could take some reporters and cameras to various parts of Portland and report what they see rather than just do stenography for someone with a long history trying to game the system with lies and exaggeration.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

Meta sent emails to 6 people informing them that ICE had served the company with a subpoena demanding extensive personal information about the users. The accounts, most notably StopIce.net, are part of a broader crowd-sourcing movement that works to publicly identify masked ICE agents.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.
