The land ICE picked for a facility outside Gilroy spent about 30 years as an agricultural research station. Nobody ran the full environmental review before construction started. California and the county went to federal court over it. What Judge Eumi Lee did: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/eight-wins...
Putting aside the 1st Amendment implications…it’s not like Convicted Felon Donald Trump tells the truth when the press is at the White House anyway.
The army will now be checking troops for morning wood.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · yesterdayNEWS: The Pentagon has announced mandatory low-testosterone screenings for male troops 30 and older, including screening for symptoms such as “reduced libido, loss of spontaneous morning erections, erectile dysfunction,” and other symptoms.
OpenAI and Microsoft admitted LLMs are predatory tech built on “an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions,” and the “largest theft of labor in human history.” An internal Microsoft document said AI has created a “doom loop” that is killing “the entire web.” www.404media.co/doom-loop-op...

POWERFUL MOMENT Americans forming a human chain around the Kennedy Center to protect a national memorial from a president threatening to tear it down. JFK’s niece, Kerry Kennedy, called on people to show up, and they did. This will never be the Trump Center, in the people’s eyes.
In 2024, the John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts reported a $40.65 million surplus. Its revenue was $306.9 million, with expenses of $266.2 million. It ended the year with $558.3 million in net assets.

Covid is not over just because people got tired of hearing about it. #SARSCoV2 is still circulating, still being detected in the air, and still causing chronic diseases like #LongCovid Another reminder that the air we share is part of public health infrastructure. Clean air is public health.
Dr. Jen Irwin@drjenirwin.bsky.social · 2d ago“Air sampling at four US airports in 2023 and 2024 detected SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in over 98% of samples and influenza A in over 17%, according to a study published in PLOS Global Public Health” www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/air...
The Trump administration suffered its 24th straight court loss in its voter roll grab Thursday, after a federal judge in Vermont denied the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) effort to access Green Mountain State voters’ unredacted personal data. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
DOJ is 0-24 in its voter roll grab after Vermont demand rejected
So far, the DOJ has lost every one of its case to have been decided — and it also lost an appeal to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Nobody read the articles the epidemiologists and virologists painstakingly wrote, where they broke down in plain English that one of the neurological effects of Covid was impaired affect aka ppl becoming mean! The same experts also warned about Covid stripping ppl’s immunities (NOT the vax or masks)
VERY important paper! This study detected SARS-CoV-2 in the air of common areas of 4 big US airports. SARS-CoV-2 detected in 98% of samples through the year. Influenza A was found during flu season. That’s why you want to wear an N95 respirator in an airport! And all indoor public spaces all year!
Multimodal genomic surveillance for respiratory pathogens at four U.S. international airports: A comparison of air, wastewater, clinical, and national surveillance data

Based on my on-the-ground experience during last years raids in Los Angeles, currently in Philly, I’d estimate at least 25% of ICE agents are open White Nationalists. Watch this one throw up a white power AND “heil Hitler” salute combo. This is normal for ICE. This is ICE culture, plain and simple.
EXCLUSIVE: For over two decades, the OSCE has sent a mission to observe every federal election in the US. But the regional security organization told DD that it hasn’t received an invitation from the Trump administration to observe the upcoming midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Exclusive: These international observers have monitored US elections for decades. This time, the Trump admin didn’t invite them
It’s the latest ominous sign that the U.S. is backsliding on democracy — and adds to concerns that the administration wants to undermine the vote.

it's been proven time and again that masking and clean air are much better protections against covid but we have to go through this charade year after year

A Canadian study of nearly 9,000 adults looked at repeat COVID infections. Researchers found that people who reported having COVID at least twice had 76% higher odds of being diagnosed with a new health condition, across 21 conditions studied, compared with those who reported never being infected.
Adults with Two or More COVID Infections Had 76% Higher Odds of a New Diagnosis in Canadian Survey
A Canadian survey tied repeat COVID-19 infections to 76% higher odds of a new diagnosis. Here is what it shows and what it cannot prove.

Hey, come here, want to know a secret? You're allowed to protect yourself from unhealthy indoor air before everyone else catches on. Mask up with an N95+ mask, use air purifiers, ventilate, and move events to outdoor or online. #stillmasking #publichealth #healthyindoorair #stillcoviding
