It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession” Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.

I found this excellently written article to be a great description of why people saying democrats aren’t doing anything is wrong. This is what I remember journalism being. Education and clear writing. The only complaint I have is the clickbaity title.

A man in DC trying to deliver food was arrested by ice after getting pulled over. They PUT HIM IN CHAINS even though he wasn’t resisting in any way and refused to use any communication tools to help him understand what was happening or what they wanted.

I have an irrational phobia of snakes. Even seeing them in pictures makes me feel anxious but this is beautiful and I don’t get that feeling looking at it.

This person tells about getting pulled over and the police can’t find him in their systems due to ICE meddling in databases. True? Idk but the comments indicate that this person was a Trump voter.

No. Netanyahu got his own country involved and Iran was attacking them. Trump got the US involved and now Iran is attacking them. The attacks are a direct reaction to Trump choosing to get involved in a fight the US wasn’t in.

How My Reporting on the Columbia Protests Led to My Deportation As an Australian who wrote about the demonstrations while on campus, I gave my phone a superficial clean before flying to the U.S. I underestimated what I was up against.

An excellent article about an Australian man’s experience with CBP deporting him.

No it isn’t a numbers game but it shows people that how they are feeling isn’t over reacting and they aren’t alone which definitely can be a catalyst for other actions.

If the organizers of those little protests reported numbers to groups like 50501 or indivisible or whichever group then they could get accurate counts.

Palantir, Meta, OpenAI execs to commission into Army reserve, form 'Detachment 201' - Breaking Defense “There’s an urgency to change and transform the Army and these guys [are] going to help,” said Col Dave Butler.

WTF. Apparently this happened last night. I’m assuming they will get all the benefits like clearances and access to soldiers and none of the challenges like UCMJ action for casual drug use.

If even he wants the ICEstapo arrested, I think we should do it.

“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.' “

I’m starting to think his administration is putting the threat of martial law out there to distract us and make us say “it isn’t that bad yet, he still hasn’t implemented martial law” while he illegally strips our rights away in every other way so when we finally say enough is enough it’s too late.

Much like most other republicans and likely many Americans. They didn’t seem concerned until it impacted them personally.
We really need to push improving the culture to be more conscious of interdependence and social health instead of focusing so much on independence

USDA, DOGE demand states hand over personal data about food stamp recipients The Department of Agriculture is demanding sensitive data from states about more than 40 million food stamp recipients, as DOGE is amassing data for immigration enforcement.

The Department of Agriculture is demanding states hand over personal data of food assistance recipients — including Social Security numbers, addresses and, in at least one state, citizenship status, according to emails shared with NPR.

A finished glazed ceramic bowl about 6 inches wide and 5 inches tall on a pottery wheel. The bowl is a grey blue with speckled pink blended randomly throughout. A left hand is on the wheel to show a size comparison of the bowl.

It’s Monday but I’ll just be late. I made this bowl with my hands and used a new glaze mixture inspired by a pottery friend.

Libraries are an oasis of calm in a hectic society. A quiet place to think. A social place to meet others. An accepting place where everyone is welcome. A helpful place to learn and get help. A frugal place to save money. Libraries represent the best of what societies can be.

The full disclosure from the whistleblower about the data breach into NLRB confidential data about unions, lawyers, cases, and PII. It also mentions the threatening note and drone image of the whistleblower walking taped on his door.
