Elections in countries like the US and UK other than in super rare occasions are decided by differential turnout. That’s it. You energise your voters and depress the other side’s. Trying to appeal to the other side’s voters will make you lose. Because it depresses your own turnout.

DHS General Counsel James Percival spoke at Yale Law School this week. Students held up signs that spelled out “abolish ICE” and taped signs to the back of their laptops that read “abolish ICE & prosecute Percival”

“Trans rights are human rights. That’s not a radical thought. People deserve to live freely in this country,” Broderick said. “And if we’re not going to protect those amongst us that are the most vulnerable, that’s unacceptable to me.” www.wknofm.org/news/... 2/2

Under Trump: -Millions have lost ACA & Medicaid coverage -Screwworm, salmonella & cyclospora plague our food supply chains -New “forever chemical” pesticides have been approved -Measles declared endemic, 26 years after being eliminated in the U.S. “Make America Healthy Again.”

Look! Contemporary capitalism has devised a way to expropriate not only labour that has not yet been performed, but also labour that will not be performed. Such innovation. 😍 (Sarcasm,

True, for once.

Surely Trump sues CBS again? And if not, anyone else can because its a sure win. www.foxnews.com/media/how-tr...

How Trump sued CBS and won: The '60 Minutes' settlement that rocked the media world, explained

Fox News Digital breaks down how a "60 Minutes" editing decision of a Kamala Harris interview wound up turning into a lofty lawsuit settlement with President Trump.

CBS heavily edited Trump's interview on 60 Minutes. The black and white clips did not appear in Sunday night's broadcast. The network removed sections where Trump made false claims and fabrications. This is part of his explanation about the war in Ukraine.

When she reached the chamber the vote had just gaveled out. She immediately filed a report of her vote of “NO” to the motion meant to kill the impeachment articles and refer them to the Judiciary Committee, as documented in the Congressional Record. Pete Hegseth must be impeached now.

there was some kind of big event across the street at the library of congress lots of busses and lots of security everywhere--just walked by it a bit ago, i still have no idea what the event is or what's going on

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)@repstansbury.bsky.social · 15h ago

Tonight, House Republicans used a procedural motion to kill the impeachment of Pete Hegseth, by referring it to the Judiciary Committee. Like other Members of Congress, Rep. Stansbury was blocked from entering the Capitol to vote due a traffic incident and a police escort of a bus during the vote.

Second speaker: “The county is shooting itself in the foot.” Points out that hyperscaled data centers are in no way what regulations made decades ago envisioned. Not light industrial. Has to pause for applause. Twice.

Over to public comments. Immediate huge lines on both sides of auditorium. First man up came with RECEIPTS. Quoting ordinances, points out phrases that have historically been used as loopholes.

Argument seems to be “well before the centers could be as close as 50 feet, this is better.” Not, I would offer as a counterpoint, meaningfully. Not when we’re talking about these behemoths.

Existing TOD requirements lets data centers as close as ***300 ft*** to residences in the zoning types at play here.

Info about TOD, technology overlay district, which basically sounds to me like a way to get around pesky restrictions they don’t like.

At a county meeting about the proposed Goochland daya centers. Starting with presentation from county folks. Acknowledging people have concerns about quality of life, tranparency, environment, economy, etc.

it's ok, it's basically just part my job as I choose to understand it. I fall into infinite numbers of irrelevant stories. years later they suddenly seem relevant. the circle of research continues. "nothing is ever wasted" is one of the maxims I tell myself to not feel guilty about such things.

And Alex Wellerstein enters the gravitational domain of yet another irrelevant story and falls in. I say this with the greatest sympathy and understanding.

Women were fairly readily sent to mental hospitals back in the day, particularly when they were in conflict with their husbands.

ok another little bit of scuttlebutt: "There is a notation at the hospital that some persons there feel that Lafazanos belongs there also."

I did not have Klaus Fuchs on my bingo card today.
