This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.

This stuff doesn’t look very protect-and-serve-y

NEW: Hegseth is deploying Marines against U.S. citizens. Mayor Bass says to know your rights :

I’m not impressed with the world men have created.

This is a difficult one in the US because most of us have health insurance through our employer. If we strike and they let us go we lose insurance. One health mishap can then lead to bankruptcy and we lose our homes.

They go in the middle, between your legs, known as a “sausage roll” in my house. 💕

I’ve never wanted to be a lawyer more in my life. That’s something I never thought I would say.

RFK Jr. to End 'Godsend' Narcan Program That Helped Reduce Overdose Deaths Despite His Past Heroin Addiction Despite overcoming heroin addiction himself, RFK Jr. is backing plans to cut a critical Narcan program that helped reduce overdose deaths.

There are few things as cost effective as Narcan, especially in a country where (entirely preventable) opioid overdoses have been a leading cause of death for years.

Sometimes my pupper pretends she’s a dragon and hoards the treasure.

This handsome boy has my heart.

Call them and give “em hell! It’s “we the people” for a reason a-holes.

Fox “news” posts a headline “Flu vaccine linked to higher infection rates, says early research”

The article then clarifies it’s not peer reviewed research and that a clinical professor of medicine found it “misleading”

That headline is dangerous and intentional.

“No environmental delays”

I live in a town where decades ago, GE dumped so many PCBs into the soil and waterways the fish still aren’t safe to eat and digging requires special containment techniques.

High numbers of cancer cases.

Let’s go back to that, shall we?

We’re going to hear sooo many stories like this one. My heart is breaking.

The lack of interaction on Bluesky is giving me the sads. I like what this platform is attempting to be but it’s lonely when just about every notification is a follow and 3/4 of those are bots/scams.
Hello void, I’m screaming into you.

I’ll take the joy I feel from little blessings every day over that void.
