The Trump Shift His first-day executive orders would have prompted mass outrage had he attempted them in 2017. Today, the response is more muted.

“Barely 24 hours into this new presidency, Trump has already taken a series of steps that would have caused widespread outrage” if taken in his first term, writes @dgraham.bsky.social. The more muted response is “a big shift from eight years ago”:

Even in Death, Navalny Still Threatens the Putin Regime The opposition leader’s posthumous memoir is a chronicle of a death foretold.

"Even the story of his near-murder, his tragi-farcical trials, and his ordeal in the penal colony is told with humor—and humanity." Navalny's refusal to knuckle under is permanent, now that he's dead, and is still a threat to Putin's regime. www.thebulwark.com/p/even-in-de...

Investigation into stolen SNAP benefits An alarming trend is growing in Indiana—numerous families are discovering their SNAP benefits have been stolen from their EBT cards, with no way to recover the

Apparently when you steal felony levels of SNAP benefits which will now not be restored to your account thanks to bipartisanship, it is not a matter for the police to concern themselves with in any way

As an artist, I could never separate another artist from their art. Are you kidding? Art is a piece of the artist. They are inextricably linked. Please, never separate me from my art. If I ever somehow become a monster, forget my name and my creations. Let both die forever. We are one.

Right a massive amount of the other think I don’t deserve basic human rights soooo

A wider field view of Westerlund 1. A dense cluster of bright stars, each with six large and two small diffraction spikes, due to the telescope’s optics. They have a variety of sizes depending on their brightness and distance from us in the cluster, and different colours reflecting different types of star. Patches of billowing red gas can be seen in and around the cluster, lit up by the stars. Small stars in the cluster blend into a background of distant stars and galaxies on black.

Quote tweet by Richard Hanania from 1/11/2025. The quoted tweet, which has a community note, is by Christopher F. Rufo on 1/10/2025. Christopher's tweet reads: "I'm sorry, but we have to stop with the ridiculous sign language interpreters, who turn serious press conferences into a farce. There are closed captions on all broadcast channels and streaming services. No wild human gesticulators necessary." The community note (which has supporting .gov links) reads: "Fact: Not all broadcast channels have closed captions, which isn't universally effective anyway; many Deaf rely on ASL for comprehension as ASL offers nuances captions miss. This is part of ADA requirements, passed by GOP." Richard's tweet reads: "The community note shows that the process has been captured by the disability lobby. It’s not about access, CC works fine. They have to pretend like it doesn’t to force this absurdity onto us. And the ADA amendments of 2008 have led to a nightmare, as I explain in my book."

🔊 PSA for nondisabled people 🔊

It's time to step the FUCK up if you wanna be an ally.

ASL interpretation is being targeted by right wing cry baby douchebags.

Shut this shit down when you see it. SPEAK UP. This barrage of ASL hate is heavier than usual.

I put together a playlist of Fort Wayne music. It starts out with some of the most current stuff I know of and then dives into older stuff and the genres are all over the place. There’s stuff from artists that aren't even making music anymore. Happy listening.
