Happy Anniversary! #S17

Stepping up to protect exactly one Californian, not the hundreds snatched of our streets by men in masks. Cool.

found this gem by Delta presenting an idealized scenario and making bold claims. note that: no matter how fast the airflow in the cabin if you are sitting right next to a contamined individual or in that persons "plume" you are likely going to be infected. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFiz...

my dad has taken up baking in retirement and, realizing he didn’t know his neighbors, started going door to door with fresh bread. he’s made tons of friends. a music producer who now invites him over to listen to old records. a guy in the final stages of a terminal illness who isn’t alone anymore.

ICYMI i made a scraper for ICE detention facilities, and it cross checks with Wikipedia, Wikidata and OpenStreetMap to see if the facilities have solid entries on those services. Figured this could help everyone interested in the general subject. patches welcome + open MIT license for Forkification

Cleaning up downtown Los Angeles this weekend: 1. Remove or scratch out fascist garbage. 2. Replace with wholesome messaging that promotes compassion and community.

Together, we have power. To stop the fascist goons. To take down the world's richest man. To build a world where we can ALL thrive. Don't let them convince you otherwise. Make new friends. Find new joy. Discover new courage. Fight. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

Breaking: DC residents begin spontaneous resistance against federal police in NW. Police were driven out by angry residents.

'The Maui fires are another reminder that we have entered a fire age—a “pyrocene,” as the emeritus professor and wildfire expert Stephen J. Pyne has called it. Humans are still figuring out how to live in this new reality, playing catch-up as the world burns around us.'

Stephen J. Pyne wrote the linked essay a few weeks before the Jan 2025 LA fires. It’s worth reading something from someone who actually knows the subject, not this current crop of bloody idiots spewing crap. foresthistory.org/hollywood-in...

But “we’re broke”, right? We can’t afford health care, housing, education, etc right? A budget is a moral document. 🇺🇸

The new ICE budget is $160 billion. The Marine corps budget is $57 billion. Try to imagine the graft and corruption that's going to be happening at DHS over the next couple of years. Nobody will be accountable. It's going to be a fascist candy store.

A pastor participated in anti-ICE protests in his community. The next day, the local police department began using his church’s parking lot as a staging ground. He doesn’t think it’s a coincidence.

This Berkeley protest occurs every Friday, let's make it HUGE on the 4th of July at 5:00 PM to declare our independence from the fascist regime [https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/774958/?force_banner=true&share_context=event_details&share_medium=copy_link](www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...)

Greensboro residents were shocked Tuesday when a crew of city employees arrived without warning or announcement to begin dismantling a local food pantry. Food and supplies were tossed, a refrigerator lifted away with a crane. www.theassemblync.com/health/green...

Defenders of billionaire tax avoiders say, "You can't tax unrealized investments!" But banks don't have a problem putting a value on those same investments when lending cash to billionaires at interest rates far lower than they'd pay in income tax. It's a strategy dubbed "Buy, Borrow, Die":

A psychologist who specializes in political personalities and the intersection of mental health, policy, and governance says the mass grassroots non-violent protests are weakening Trump. His outburst and meltdown today reflects that. Story/analysis: dcmediagroup.us/2025/06/24/m...

Andrew Cuomo leaning so heavily on this "public safety" grift trying to frame *Zohran* as dangerous is just rich considering Cuomo is a danger to every woman who gets near him. A sexual predator claiming to care about our safety—politics doesn't get any more cynical than that

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

I’ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.

i put a ton of stuff about "civil disturbance operations" and anti protest military machinery into this piece at the end. if you want to get up to speed. almost none of this stuff is generally discussed

Wow. There really is a tweet for everything.

The 'Big Beautiful Bill' is only beautiful for billionaires. It will kill the rest of us — cutting healthcare funding, raising our taxes and making it impossible to get out of debt. We're going to D.C. on June 25th to say "Kill the Bill."

I'm gonna go back and reference the first post here to remind people that these armed masked people are all most likely cops or other law enforcement. Their job isn't to help you.

Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.

The gunman no doubt thought of himself as a good person, as someone who was pro-life, but his ideology brought him to a place where he shot 17 bullets into a couple who got into politics to help get health insurance for his daughter, who has spina bifida.

#LASD live on MSNBC using horses to push the crowd. Now pepper ball attacking peaceful protest. Everyone’s running.

WE BROUGHT PEACE TO TRUMP’S MILITARY PARADE Trump is set to increase the military budget to $1 TRILLION dollars. Over half will go to weapons companies, like Boeing which makes the Apache helicopter. Join us to demand they CUT THE PENTAGON! www.cutthepentagon.org/reducepentag...

With American and Mexican flags and signs declaring “Abolish ICE,” hundreds of protesters have gathered in south Omaha to protest the ICE raid on a meatpacking plant on Tuesday. 🔗 buff.ly/5nChMLF
