Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

If any one person saved our republic during the 21st century it was Eugene Goodman and I am sure that he hasn’t been thanked enough.

The US has seen nearly 28,000 whooping cough cases this year. Here’s what you need to know | CNN For the second year in a row, the US has surpassed 25,000 whooping cough cases — another sign of the risks of falling vaccination levels.

The come back of pertussis and Measles is only the beginning of the resurgence of preventable infectious diseases in the US. This has been one of the biggest public health failures of 2025 and the competition is tough.

CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway.

The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦

My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable.

WATCH: The 60 Minutes CECOT Segment I was sent the CECOT segment anonymously in a group chat.

The CDC website has been lobotomized. Where it once presented the decades of evidence debunking the false claims of a link between vaccines and autism, that has now been replaced with junk science.

I don't want AI art, I want AI to manage rescheduled appointments

The cover of Radical Unlearning: The Art and Science of Creating Change from Within, by Lewis Raven Wallace— an orange leafy cover with yellow, black and white text.

Also picked up this on the recommendation of @prisonculture.bsky.social — can’t wait to dive in.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

The Authoritarian Playbook: Public Education & the Future of Democracy Randi Weingarten's new book is a love letter to public school educators and an expose of the well-funded campaign behind attacks on teachers and the war on knowledge.

Authoritarians wage war on knowledge and critical thinking. That's why standing up for teachers and fighting for strong public education is one of our best ways to defend democracy. I discuss this and more about my book "Why Fascists Fear Teachers" on Your Call Radio ⬇️

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

The magpie is nature's most indiscriminate collector. Show it something shiny and the bird will grab it, haul it back to its nest, and arrange it among the b... Be a Magpie (You'll Get More Done)

Every productivity method works; just not for everyone.

The trick isn’t to find the “right” one.

It’s to scavenge the good parts like a magpie and build your own weird little masterpiece.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other.

It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

YOU MUST MAINTAIN YOUR STRENGTH AND POWER! HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT.

White supremacy is when Republican men and women in their 20s & 30s praising Hitler, genocide, and rape are “just kids”—but 18-year-old Michael Brown was no angel, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was a thug, 16-year-old Kalief Browder was a criminal, and 12-year-old Tamir Rice should’ve known better.😐

"We should ban X to reduce harm Y"

Harm Y increases

Trump Administration Will Rehire Scores of Experts Fired in Error

Seeing a lot of celebration of this as a win.

But at NIH we have seen this exact play before.

It looks like it is the Vought strategy -and to stop the lawless firings we have to see the bigger picture.

Jag har lite svårt att förstå varför det inte är en nationell storm över detta. En av våra mest kända svenskar har enligt uppgift förödmjukats, tvingas krypa & kyssa en främmande makts flagga, fängslad utan tillräckligt rent vatten. Expressen begravde nyheten längst ner. DN rapporterar inte alls.

A friend/nemesis on another platform gave another variation today on his both-sides nihilism, saying that he doesn’t completely trust what either side says. He’s right, until he stops. Because both-sidesism is both seductively simple and unfortunately simple-minded. (Thread)

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

This is how elections in competitive autocracies work. Your vote can still lead to a change in who holds an office -- but those in power use the state to tilt the playing field in their favor.

No link between paracetamol use during pregnancy and autism or ADHD in children In the largest epidemiologic study to date of the risk of giving birth to a child with autism, ADHD or intellectual disability following acetaminophen use during pregnancy, researchers found no associ...

'Tylenol' is known in the civilised world as Paracetamol

2.4 million children born in Sweden between 1995 and 2019. Studied 186,000 children whose mothers were treated with paracetamol during pregnancy.

Not-so-quite hidden in this "Tylenol is the cause of autism 'cause" is yet another mechanism to control women. Pain control = agency and freedom

When I think of probably the saddest bodycam, it's this one. A lifelong foster child with enormous emotional dysregulation aging-out of the system, in crisis, clinging to the only benevolent thing in her life, and destroying it.

It's a passenger seat in a social worker's car.

btw Costco seems to have the cheapest updated COVID vax. You can get it without a card at the pharmacy and they do take walk-ins. If you’re also uninsured due to the massive amounts of layoffs this year, they also take this goodrx coupon to lower the cost of www.goodrx.com/comirnaty?sr...
