Dr Space Junk (Alice Gorman)@drspacejunk.bsky.social · 11h agoI don't know if anyone else is live streaming the impact (it's not like a rocket launch, we'd be lucky to see that plume as Einstein crater is hard to see) but this astronomer is streaming using a Celestron RASA 8-inch telescope 🧪 🔭

Except for religious studies, the graduates of these "loan ineligible" majors are disproportionately women. Fans of this policy have probably never considered that social worker, cosmetician, teachers aide, etc might be low-paying jobs *because* women do them. newrepublic.com/post/213446/...

The above video* ⬆️ is on this CBS 58 page. It shows a reporter on the scene after protesters took back the intersection where Corey Ruiz was killed. Plus a web story describing what happened early this morning when the encampment was cleared. *(slightly longer. I cut it to fit Bluesky's max time.)

Tonite, CBS 58 (Milwaukee) has video of protesters reclaiming the "autonomous zone" at the intersection of Williamson Street (Willy St) and Baldwin Street. This am, Madison police cleared the encampment, arresting at least 17 people as well as injuring Independent Police Monitor Aeiramique Glass.
This morning, Madison, Wisconsin police cleared the encampment serving as protest of the killing of Corey Ruiz and a memorial to him. Tonight, Tuesday, 4 August, folks are reportedly moving back into the intersection.
Jeff Tischauser@jtischauser.bsky.social · 13h agoFriends are telling me that they are re-occupying Willy St right now. This comes after police forcibly removed the protest encampment earlier today set-up at the intersection where a police officer murdered Corey Ruiz.

For the past five months the only refugees the USA has accepted are white South Africans fleeing equality & safety meanwhile they are disappearing or strapping ankle monitors on any Haitian they can get ahold of. It needs to be understood how thoroughly connected these two things are.

I have little to add to the chat, but I will say this: Those of us who spend a lot of time talking about politics overestimate how much other people care about, or are even familiar with, the labels we use to describe, denigrate, or celebrate candidates. Sometimes we’re high on our own supply.
Posted this over a year ago and nothing has changed. When voters are mad it’s usually best to understand why they are mad as opposed to telling them to just not be mad.
Anne Caprara@annecaprara.bsky.social · last yr.The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.
FCC chair Brendan Carr thinks neither he nor the president has to abide by the laws. This is what the Supreme Court set up with their immunity decision ⬇️
Josh Shepperd@joshshepperd.bsky.social · 20h agoWell, the FCC Commissioner has made the decision, first announced in an op-ed in Breitbart, stating that a regulatory body does not have to observe laws made by Congress if they don't feel like it.
