CHATTANOOGA: several hundred @utchattanooga.bsky.social Students are marching to protest the removal of DEI and disbanding of several centers, as regressive new Republican laws take hold

500 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics are at risk of closing because of the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill. Many are in rural areas.

Meanwhile, Republican-held US House districts and states Trump won in 2024 rely more on ACA coverage.

They're selling out their own voters.

Do politicians ever listen to the people or only the powerful? Rage, rage against the dying of the light.’ Welsh word-wiz Dylan Thomas’ angry poem to his dying dad implied that the older man resisted passing. But for others, the end is welcome.

Australia has VAD. Three-quarters of respondents to a UK public poll reportedly said they’d “support making it lawful for someone to seek assisted dying,”. In the House of Commons, 314 MPs voted in favour and 291 against. #auspol #UkPoltics #VAD

She chose to be contentious to avoid answering.

When she says 'correct me if I'm wrong' she already knows she's wrong. It's intentional and deliberate to avoid answering the question.

AG Bondi, here’s that correction you requested.

Andrew Hastie’s play for the leadership

“I am told that right-wing commentary on mass immigration is already killing the Liberal Party in Western Sydney,” writes John Hewson. “What a tragic and utterly predictable outcome.” satpa.pe/H7SEo4C

Mobileye spills the beans: Tesla was dropped because of safety concerns Now we know who ended the relationship.

Nine years ago MobileEye, the company which provided the processors which Tesla vehicles used to understand the world around them, dumped them because “Tesla was pushing the envelope in terms of safety." Musk’s recklessness and sociopathy writ large. arstechnica.com/cars/2016/09...

The woman is a GD shrew and totally unfit for her position. Hopefully someday she is prosecuted.

IF THE ADMINISTRATION
INVOKES THE INSURRECTION ACT
THE ENTIRE NATION
MUST GO ON STRIKE TO BRING THEM TO THEIR KNEES!!!

The good thing is ICE are totally untrained so they are fricken useless.

The scary thing is ICE are totally untrained so they are fricken dangerous to anyone.

They spoke the Truth
And the horrors are ongoing
Some people have forgotten what that is

Sounds more like he's channeling Satan.

This strikes me as pretty bad

This is not going to end well. Sooner or later an American citizen is going to get killed.

California continues to make history: the first proclamation in our state issued in braille.

How the ALP outsourced the soul of higher education For most of its history, the Australian Labor Party spoke of education as a public good, the light on the hill, a vision of collective progress through strong institutions, universal access, and the elevation of ordinary citizens.

If Labor wishes to reclaim its moral authority, it must break with the consultant paradigm: rebuild public governance, fund socially vital disciplines and restore universities as places of learning, not revenue streams. #auspol #universitiesAU

Pathetic.

That's why I believe in compulsory voting. Australia does it very well, not perfect, with an independent electoral commission.
The US needs to start by getting rid of the electoral college, and by having an independent body run all elections.
Voting is as much a responsibility as it is a right.

As soon as she wants? Ok. Now.

In one telling exchange Durbin reminded Bondi that “Investigation of your agency is part of my responsibility” That is what oversight means in a constitutional republic. The DOJ does not belong to a president; it belongs to the people & must withstand scrutiny w/out resorting to smears or stonewalls
