How every blue state can counter new GOP gerrymanders For many, fighting fire with fire won't be easy, but it's always possible

GREAT story.

Hi yes hello, going to reiterate that this should not be legal

Last week, I visited United Cerebral Palsy Seguin of Greater Chicago in Villa Park. I was thrilled to secure over $840,000 in Community Project Funding in 2024 to help provide a wider range of innovative offerings for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

I want cops to have to crowdfund the gas for their cars, their radios and their protective gear. I don't want them crowdfunding their guns or ammo -- I want the guns and ammo purchased and accounted for down to the bullet, by someone in the Mayor's office who will be an asshole about discrepancies.

I know the “imagine what they’d do” stuff is boring but imagine what they’d do if Harris did this.

they’d call her Kayaka for the rest of her life and prosecute her for wasting taxpayer money.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING: "Can I still support the EVEN STEVEN book?"
YES— but time's running out!
EVEN STEVEN is the fan-favorite from IMPOSSIBLE JONES!
With stories by some of comic's top names— Busiek, Waid, Simone, more!
Think of it as a gift to yourself…

Federal court filing system hit in sweeping hack The identities of confidential court informants are feared compromised in a series of breaches across multiple U.S. states.

DOGE did this. Waterboard Elon Musk with cat piss until he confesses who he sold the credentials to.

Street greening transformation before and after in Paris

New forest in front of Paris city hall

New “school street” with greening in central Paris

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

Just the start.

Common sense.

Your cat says you're neglecting her, and she deserves more petting. :)

It also makes my teeth and my ass itch when folks run to a Bernie or AOC comparison because

Momdani actually as stated and performed has better policies than both of them

And a far better openness to correction about racial issues

See Bernie’s shitty ass think tank

I wish as many people wanted to actually click on Teen Vogue stories as like a post about our work being good and important, because this post is almost at 20k likes and that would be pretty good traffic!

That's only because they've still (for now) got too many morals to actually _run_ as Republican candidates.

And maybe lack the reading comprehension to fill out the paperwork without it being formatted as a filming script.

Bro what the fuck

This is like something a corrupt emperor does in fantasy to show how venal he is

the thing i don't get about this is that sure, you're some groyper who thinks the posters look cool. but, like, you must know that the nazis lost, and they didn't just lose, they lost to the people they *deemed inferior*: a polyglot nation of shopkeepers on one front & russian peasants on the other

“Establishment Dems”

Nah fam name names . Because shockingly a bunch of “established” Dems endorsed Mamdani ASAP … they tended to have something in common

Then folks swore he had a Black problem … FROM THE LEFT

while ignoring those Black candidates and the. The actual numbers

This is why I say the algorithic attention economy is unsustainable and a civilization-scale cognitohazard.

Idaho lost one in three obstetricians after its abortion ban New research confirms: Crackdowns on reproductive rights have harmful ripple effects across local health care.

Two months after the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, in June 2022, Idaho’s trigger ban outlawing most abortions—one of the strictest nationwide—took effect.

According to a new peer-reviewed paper study, Idaho lost more than a third of its OBs—94 of 268 total—afterwards.

What to know about chikungunya, the virus spreading in southern China Chinese authorities have taken action to curb the spread of chikungunya, a virus causing fever and joint pain.

Chikungunya virus is known to mutate. 2 vaccines for it exist, but it might be necessary to modify them if the pathogen has changed enough.

I'm no expert on anything relevant, but that mRNA technology allows for rapid changes in vaxxes. Too bad mRNA vax research was just defunded by RFK Jr.

3. Removable Aliens If USCIS determines the alien beneficiary is removeable and amenable to removal from the United States USCIS may issue a Notice to Appear (NTA) placing the beneficiary in removal proceedings. Petitioners and alien beneficiaries should be aware that a family-based petition accords no immigration status nor does it bar removal.

I missed this last week, but buried in a somewhat minor Policy Manual update, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced that it may now start placing undocumented immigrants into removal proceedings when a family member files a visa petitions to help them (eventually) "fix their papers."

You got a fucking free, fully furnished house and you're still complaining about not having a servant. I despise these people.

Every single issue we see with ICE (lack of accountability, ability to grab whoever they want off the street etc) was all made possible by the precedent set by policies around policing in the US.

There is a root to all authoritarianism. And if it isn't stopped, it gets worse. Simple.

The Supreme Court prepares to end voting rights as we know them And justices don’t want you to notice.

“It would be an earthquake in politics and make our legislative bodies whiter.”

Remember this image every time someone tells you that protesters are "hurting their cause."

Those people are the red bars. In 40 years, we'll look back at them the same way.

Which means they're an imperfect use case for most convention centers.

If you've been to GAMA Expo, I want you to imagine how unnavigable the KICC would be if it were hosting Origins for all of their attendees, and GenCon has more than twice the body count.

Game conventions need a surprising amount of space *per attendee* compared to the usual convention where you set up rooms for presentations in rows of chairs, rather than tables with 4-8 chairs around each.

It's dining room density (or worse) rather than theater density.

Teen Hannah Cairo's Mathematical Discovery Sends Ripples through Harmonic Analysis When she was just 17 years old, Hannah Cairo disproved the Mizohata-Takeuchi conjecture, breaking a four-decade-old mathematical assumption

I had an enlightening conversation with mathematician Hannah Cairo about how she broke a huge conjecture in Harmonic Analysis at just 17 years old, what being a transgender mathematician means to her and how math has supported her along her journey! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🌊 ✨

What should I do when a debt collector contacts me? | Consumer Financial Protection Bureau First, determine important information about your debt—including if it’s legitimate and if you really owe it—and then use our sample letters to respond appropriately to the debt collector.

Reminder: if you get a notice from a debt collector, even if it's for a tiny amount, make them work for it! Send them a request to validate the debt and prove that they have the authority to collect it. The CFPB has sample letters: www.consumerfinance.gov/ask-cfpb/wha...
