There have been several, many Americans swept up in these sweeps - and after spending weeks in detention they finally get it sorted out. Can you afford to lose weeks of your life in detention because of the color of your skin? The tattoos you might have?

Her appearance is irrelevant. What she looks like doesn't matter. What she's doing is what matters

Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

ST. LOUIS wants federal help after a storm — meanwhile Mississippi has been waiting months. As Trump “overhauls” (cuts/tries to privatize) FEMA.

Predictable consequences of electing people who don’t believe in government helping people who aren’t them.

I don't know I'm beginning to think we need to fix "our party" before we have much room to talk. Too many are same old same old nonsense milquetoast centrists. I loved the idea of David Hogg being involved and they immediately got rid of him Because he said they would primary people who didn't work!

Rural leaders push Congress to unfreeze climate and environmental funds Leaders from rural communities in eight states travelled to Washington, D.C., last week to urge lawmakers to preserve federal funding that's threatened by the Trump administration.

The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

In addition to the horrifying attack on trans healthcare, the proposed rule also removes coverage from DACA recipients, cuts the enrollment period in half, and generally enshittifies the process. But insurers make more $$.

Go leave a comment.

four frame comics, that reads : Transphobia is often more tham a lack of education. It can also be an addictive ritual of reaffirming power over a group so marginalized that the perpetrators are most likely to get away with it. It's a training ground for normalizing atrocities and empowering entitled young men who see the rights of others as a threat to their dominance. Transphobes don't need to be educated on trans people's humanity. What they need is a lot of therapy.

Power addiction.

Utah becomes first state to ban LGBTQ+ pride flags in government buildings and schools Utah has become the first state to prohibit flying LGBTQ+ pride flags at schools and all government buildings. Republican Gov.

Folks who live in Utah
- is this really what you want?

Not food security, not improved education, not better roads and infrastructure. You wanted to target queer people And their celebrations? Really?

I too see a lot of people struggling to figure out what to do and here's a decent article on the subject

He's very 'free speech that he likes'. He is against any speech that he doesn't like, which ultimately makes him not very 'free speech'

How are they doing this? It's an independent 501c3?

What is the best way for us to find out about this grassroots epidemiology... How do we best follow what's going on and protect ourselves.

Where is the necrotizing encephalitis coming from? What can we do to prevent it?

Clinicians are sharing directly and working with state and non-government agencies. Grassroots epidemiology.

Leaked emails show the nation’s leading wildlife agency has halted critical funding for conservation Exclusive: The US Fish and Wildlife Service has frozen millions of dollars, imperiling animals abroad.

Friday SCOOP: @vox.com has learned that USFWS has frozen its vast portfolio of international conservation grants.

This is far beyond the scope of USAID-funded work and will inevitably harm wildlife internationally and in the US.

@benjij.bsky.social has the story: www.vox.com/down-to-eart...

Oh gods, you really believe that don't you?

Define religious? I'm religious but not Christian. I don't push my beliefs on others, so why are you ok with others pushing their beliefs?

I'm so sorry Deb.

That's The Doctor.

Whatever we do we just need to do it instead of quietly debating in the sidelines while the entire country is ripped to shreds

There has to be some way to rally people behind someone or something or... Well things stay the way they are

I promise you though, it wasn't being condescending. Exasperated a little, yes.

They're more copies of the Bible than any other book out there. If people throw a few away it really isn't going to hurt anyone

The thing is everyone understands what you're doing here which is just trying to pretend to create an intellectual quandary

It doesn't really hold up

What do you do when there's no room for any other books because they've taken all the history, science and fiction and filled it with propaganda?

Just shrug your shoulders and move on?

One of our LFL constantly has all of the books removed and filled entirely with Bibles from the same church.

Yes I know what you're doing. You're creating an unwinnable situation. I would read the physics book obviously.

I've already read the Bible thanks. Not interested in refreshing my memory

Do you. And why do you support the Christian Bible then?
