Maybe the Chinese will share their weather balloon data? Or whatever they collect from those new mosquito drones.

Do you have an option for people who don't want to receive emails?

Yeah - the supermarket by our house charges double if you don't go onto their app and select which digital coupons you want to use.

We are in the middle of it.

Now that they've done away with weather forecasting, remember: "Red sky at morning, sailor take warning; red sky at night, sailor's delight."

@governor.ca.gov Please direct CalPERS to break its fund management contract with State Street unless they divest immediately from Geo Group, whom ICE is paying to imprison our friends and neighbors.

Donald Trump is behaving like a tyrant, not a President.

By turning the military against American citizens, he is threatening the very core of our democracy.

I’m asking the court to immediately block these unlawful actions.

this is good

That and being hit by rubber bullets - both the Australian and the BBC.

For certain.

Not exactly - He's ordering the California Department of the Military to deploy against the people it exists to protect.

It's kind of ironic that I can't read the article about how the privatisation of education is destroying our society because it is behind a paywall.

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

But how could Trump have predicted Trump would introduce massive tariffs and then pause them?

Iran wants our wetlands?

That isn't a fair competition. The NCAA can only field so many athletes!

A recent study found that cervical cancer deaths in young women have plummeted since the introduction of the human papillomavirus vaccine.

Bit by auto-correct: expurgation

Geeze - that's not likely to be inspiring.

I was just thinking last night that all these games that take 100+ hour for a playthrough are a pain in the ass. Whatever happened to five lives and high mortality?

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Sounds like he is ready to be entrusted with a whisky bottle.

Right? Hopefully the AI robots can help us with that. 😅

I like Reddit much much better than BlueSky because it doesn't have a message character limit that requires me to cut nuance. It feels like an expiration needed to achieve imprimatur, which is not what I want right now.

Maybe I am just getting old and out of touch, but I am having a challenging time finding the throughlines in BlueSky.
I get a notification that someone responded to something I said, but the link only shows what they said, and I can't remember what the hell I posted the day before yesterday.

Sounds like an exciting film! If you make it, I'll watch.

THE ASK This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity. DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN TRUMP'S AGENDA Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how: 1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely. 2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process. 3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze. 4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down. 5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues. No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have. Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...
