For all the MAGA racists, white supremacists and Nazis, Puerto Rico is a part of the United States. Bad Bunny is an American citizen. Now, kindly go fuck yourselves.

Do you live in the United States and enjoy drinking water? Ask your elected representatives to ensure your drinking water utility is climate resilient. There's a good chance the utility faces climate risks and they are not doing much about it.

How TrumpRx drug prices compare to generic alternatives Patients could save more buying non-branded copycat drugs, even if they don't have insurance.

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market.

Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.

A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

When I wrote Section 230 I did so knowing it would be critical for protecting free speech online. 30 years later and it’s one of the last things standing in the way of Republican censorship of the internet. Here’s to many more years of defending this vital safeguard of free speech.

Perfect

Laura can you please send the new link to the family text? I do love a birthday card tho. (Smiley heart face)

The grandmas* are using their birthdays as fundraisers to get extended family to donate $ to help their grandkids’ classmates with needs (rent, food) under federal occupation.

Good point.
Ditto city response to speed. Escooters require speed governors, cars don't. Crazy.

Cities will micromanage an e-bike, but are fine with multi-ton cars being beta tested on our streets by remote workers overseas.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Anne Applebaum on Trump's betrayal of Europe "They’re bewildered we’ve allowed this to happen."

"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense. In the US press, you’ll just see excerpts and an attempt to sanitize it." — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

You should read this. It is the type of detail that experts in authoritarian regimes see as telling.
In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability.

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

Anyone that actually daily drives an EV knows range anxiety doesn’t exist. You may have a little at first but it quickly goes away. Towing long distance could be a little stressful but if you just do it occasionally it’s more than doable.

France Just Did What the U.S. Refuses to Do: Treat Elon Musk Like the Dangerous Person He Is For years, Elon Musk has been treated less like the owner of a global communications platform and more like a culture-war mascot, shielded from consequences by wealth, fanboy media, and a U.S.

But the other piece of evidence -- the point of this thread -- is that we now have an example of what it looks like when US political & corporate elites *really are* obsessed with and committed to something.

DeLauro to pressing clergy: 'I will not vote to abolish ICE' The Connecticut U.S. representative found herself at odds with faith leaders.

“Renee Goodman [sic], Alex Pretti – there are no words,” DeLauro said.

“You said there were no words after the murder of those two individuals,” said Rev. Jack Perkins Davidson. “I think the words are ‘Abolish ICE.’”

Don’t know this person but I was delighted that the uk has a standard certified bike training and I was amazed to learn that “claim your space” was such prominent advice. I admit to not doing enough of that.

Thank you #DavidDansky

Genius strategy on the part of Chicago, which will help make up for their enormous failure in doing the 99 year lease of the parking spaces to begin with.

They should be. The cheap Chinese EVs are better and waaay more for car for your money.

Also: US auto industry continues to self-harm. Year after year. This is the latest example.
