JUST IN: Qatari authorities early Saturday evacuated parts of Doha, including the Msheireb district, home to government offices and a Google office, as well as sections of Education City, which hosts branch campuses of six U.S. universities, witnesses told Reuters.
Looks like we need to boycott montana or help them sue the republicans that are taking away rights.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
When you think your vote won’t count…
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
First is Dr. #HowardKahm on women in the military. 10.9% of Korean military are women. In last 5 years there has been a 14% decline in 20 year old population, so female voluntary recruits are more important than ever.

CNN: Breaking news concerning several major airports in the DC area. There's currently a ground stop. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the FAA is working to address the source of a strong odor at an air traffic control facility which services those airports
Only American citizens vote, with vanishingly rare exceptions. Tell your senators to stop the SAVE Act — an attack on the freedom to vote: bit.ly/4srDVLB
lol. CBS had been trying to get Zohran Mamdani for an interview, but Bari Weiss' deranged tweeting caused him to turn it down

A very niche pet peeve: magazines whose guidelines go on and on about all the things they dislike, hate, loathe, and will not accept... But say literally nothing about what they like.
It's like a super-negative first date. 🤨
I usually send them a generic-ish story from my burner pile. 🤷♂️

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
The Senate must reject this bill.
But further down in story is news that someone donated millions to shore up infrastructure. If only we had a few billionaires with some spare change….
We have a similar "institution" here in Iceland and they are allowed to officiate at ceremonies. They offer naming ceremonies (similar to christenings), and what they call civil confirmation where the kids learn about being good citizens, marriages and funerals.
I hope you saw this earlier but here’s the link again. Seeing the mothers recall their experiences and hearing Park Bo Gum acknowledge how exhausting childcare can be, and seeing everyone in pitching in with babies…I had some perspective from your latest postings👍 youtu.be/bz4J2zh4p8s?...
Thank you so much, @lionessmom.bsky.social and @zephtx.bsky.social 🙏 I am deeply touched that my reflections could offer a sense of shared support during these heavy times. Hearing that my work helped you find a moment to breathe means the world to me 🩷
Very similar to what I know👍
Included on the list are offices claimed to be associated with Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Nvidia, IBM, Oracle and Palantir in Israel and around the region, including in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.-CNN
Iran published a list of “new targets”
The list, published by state-affiliated Tasnim news agency, is entitled “Iran’s new targets” and includes various regional offices, as well as cloud, data and development centers of major American tech firms with operations in the Middle East.

In 1967, IBM released IBM System/360 Model 91, a powerful supercomputer using advanced instruction pipelining. Its architecture pushed high-speed computing forward and influenced the design of modern processors. #ITHistory
Welp, there’s a fair share of MAGA on amateur bands, too, but it’s a handy hobby to have if the internet goes down …
I think the point is a religious ceremony suffices without civil ceremony and UK humanists would like to officiate their own similarly. I was just a little surprised because here in the US there’s a range of officiants allowed depending on state. I am more familiar with American humanism.
Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.
That's right!
