Care & Loathing

You don't turn your back on an arrest in progress feet away if you are at all worried about the person being any kind of threat.

But this immigration harasser does exactly that, he's focused more on blocking the person recording. Keep recording.

Spent the evening in San Antonio talking with Texans about the importance of running for a place on the ballot—from local offices to the State House. If we field a strong candidate for every office, we not only have a much stronger chance of flipping seats down ballot but also at winning statewide.

Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

The only thing Trump enjoys is compensating for his diminished mental and physical state with flamboyant displays of dominance. So his bad week ended on a real high note for him.

Shadenfreude at the certainty that the AI bubble is going to pop really kind of tempered by the equal certainty that taxpayers are going to be on the hook for it.

Unannounced Child "Wellness Checks" by Armed Federal Agents Raise Concerns - Institute for Public Service Reporting - Memphis % % %

Federal immigration cops are using "wellness checks" on minors as a ruse to get into homes and arrest people for alleged immigration violations. In this case, an alleged check on a 17-year-old let them arrest his 22-year-old brother, who was brought here at 11 and has protected status.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Medical providers are told, aggressively and often, that you are only protected from liability when acting within the strict confines of your certification ( RN, EMT, First Aid etc) and following established protocols properly. Otherwise you could easily be f'd.

Cops should be the same.

If he insists on operating outside legal constraints he should be treated as just some guy who is threatening and assaulting people and he should be charged accordingly. And people should be allowed to fight back in self defense.

Beto did this by keeping his grassroots org running in between elections and continued to get people registered and also using it for disasters etc.

It's really remarkable how aggressively dem volunteer org deconstitutes in between elections. Never use it to message on issues, just fundraising :(

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Wow had to look hard to find a photo of Zohran not smiling, and that's the closest to a smile they could find for Cuomo, lol

Polls are open until 9pm: zohranfornyc.com/vote

YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC Today is only the beginning.

Today is only the beginning.

Our time has come, New York. Our time is now.

Virginia, if you’re in line to vote by 7pm, stay in line!

Yup, as progressive as the electorate will tolerate is not a bad approach.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

Yesterday, Illinois State Police arrested a protester dressed as Jesus, draped in American flag. When he did not walk, they picked him up and carried him.

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

like, it's not just that they don't want poor people to buy steak.

it's that they positively enjoy the sense of power it gives them to police what poeple are allowed to have; to judge others; to put in place harmful policies as punishment.

This is moving because he’s addressing our community— but it’s also so so good, like, technically in terms of pronunciation. The authenticity of this campaign is off the charts because there are so many of us, from all different backgrounds, so invested.

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

I keep thinking that the Trump administration's ultimate goal is a network of paramilitaries.

Compared to the worries of a wash out I'll take it!
