To repeat: Pressure works

“The delay through July, both sources said, is the result of pressure from NOAA and NASA officials. The new NOAA message supports this, stating: “Late on Friday, June 27th, CNMOC received a request from Dr. Germain with NASA to postpone the removal and to continue […]

The country is going to hell but at least I have #Wimbledon to help with my mental health for a couple weeks.

OMG my Cassie was doing the tongue out the side of the mouth today too!

Donna wants everyone to know that if dogs aren’t properly air conditioned they literally melt.

OK Vest let’s nail down this save for Skubal! #RepDetroit #DetroitTigers #SNB

The changes made to #Trump’s big tax bill in the #Senate would pile trillions onto the nation’s #debt load while resulting in even steeper losses in #healthcare #coverage, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said in a new analysis, adding to the challenges for #Republicans as they try to […]

I really wish this were the worst of our problems. But what a headline!

I’m not surprised you are getting “I’m not surprised” replies!

Sorry sorry sorry please don’t #toodles me!!! 😃

Ahahah my employer posted photos of us hoisting and flying the trans flag outside the aquarium and the haters are so angry it’s so funny they’re trying to say fish aren’t gay and people are like uhh some of our fish do actually change genders

If you're wondering why you are separating the lids from yoghurt cups to recycle them properly, while in a parallel universe nearly 100 private jets arrive for the Bezos wedding, here's why:

Because you are better person than each and every one of these massive cunts.

So ... Parents can't get their kids gender affirming care but they can prevent schools from teaching that trans kids are human beings.

That's how parental rights work?

Well, this is all very upsetting.

Apparently #Nixon was right.

If the president does it, then it isn’t illegal.

At least according to this #SCOTUS.

Pretty much the final nail in the coffin of #democracy in the #UnitedStates.

If I'm running a news room now, I assign everyone who has done piece on Biden's final-years fitness-to-govern, and have them apply same standards here.

Via Kyle Cheney:

DIDN'T TAKE LONG: One group suing over Trump's birthright citizenship order has refiled its lawsuit as a class action, noting that the court left open this option for nationwide relief. They're asking a Maryland judge for an emergency restraining order.

#SCOTUS sucks. At least 2/3 of it does.

3/ Stern:

Although Alito frames the remedy here as "notice and opt-out," the reality is that school districts cannot manage such a sweeping opt-out system. They are far more likely to simply pull books with LGBTQ characters off classroom shelves altogether rather than face a ruinous […]

This is a monstrous court that has decided that it agrees with Stephen Miller that America is a nation by and for white people and everyone else is just a guest whose invite can be rescinded at their leisure

I cannot stop thinking about how a century of speculative fiction about catastrophic rogue AI meltdown became a self-fulfilling prophecy by building an AI that functions by running a probabilistic lookup on a table of all fiction humans have ever written to determine what the average AI would do […]

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ENCOUNTER AN ICE AGENT A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE 1. STAY CALM AND CONFIDENT Approach the situation with composure. Do not panic. You have the right to ask questions, and demand accountability. 2. RECORD THE INTERACTION Hold your cell phone visibly and begin recording. Let them see that you are documenting everything. Write time, date, exact location. Timestamp arrival and exit. 3. ASK FOR IDENTIFICATION CLEARLY Look the agent in the eyes and say: "Identify yourself as a real officer." 4. REQUEST BADGE AND SERIAL NUMBER Firmly state: "I need your badge number and serial number." Agents are required to provide this information. If they avoid or refuse to answer, continue to press the issue. 5. PREPARE TO CONTACT 911 If the individual refuses to identify themselves after two direct requests, begin dialing 911 6. REPORT SUSPECTED IMPERSONATION Tell the dispatcher: "There is a man here impersonating a law enforcement officer, and he is armed." This creates an official record and ensures immediate response. 7. KNOW WHY THIS MATTERS There have been instances where individuals were harmed or even killed by people impersonating law enforcement. Transparency saves lives. Real officers should never fear identifying themselves. VERIFY, DOCUMENT, SHARE #3E #StopICE

What to Do If You Encounter an ICE Agent. (print / share).

ICE often operate without identification, contributing to fear, confusion, and potential abuse. Demanding accountability helps protect communities and exposes operations that may be unethical or unlawful. #3E #StopICE

Wait, what?
