Salem is a good cat but has had some violent episodes, most likely due to a previously undiagnosed illness. Any help for our friend would be greatly appreciated. Even just a repost may get it in front of someone who could help get him back on track. ❤️

In most scams either the scammer is the "chosen one" "I have all the answers to your problems" or the mark is "you're so smart and unique and special for coming to me to solve all your problems", but this is a neat trick where that aspect of it extends both ways.

Really!

My “favourite” part is that they ended up disturbing some actual archeological burials, instead

Wow. That's cool. Wish you would bring this energy to anything that actually mattered. But good job I guess.

The implicit principle being espoused here - the ultra-wealthy should have a veto on any democratic deliberation - is both so obvious coming from Bezos but also so deeply boring and stupid. We get it, you want to be king, blah blah blah.

This last sentence here is the entirety of my politics now

Better Things Are Possible@internethippo.bsky.social · 3d ago

The Iran fiasco is the closest to comeuppance he's seen in a while and it's still unsatisfying because there are no real consequences for him personally! We should organize our country in a way that giant assholes aren't able to constantly wreck shit for everyone else and then shrug and walk away

It’s the racism and they are using it because it works .

“This is very real redlining…It is appropriating rural, Black-owned land and converting it for industrial purposes, and it’s being done by people who have no historical or cultural tie to the land. These are not people who are local, developing their land for industrial use.”

Reminder that wetlands 1) keep surrounding areas from flooding 2) are a carbon sink and help to fight global warming 3) often harbor species that aren't seen anywhere else 4) ARE REALLY GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

If tech giant Google has its way, residents of Fort Wayne, Indiana, may have to say goodbye to over 4 acres of federally protected wetland as part of the third phase of “Project Zodiac,” a $2 billion hyperscale data center project. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Katherine is a student at Bonnie Ellison Elementary. Jesús is a hardworking mechanic and doesn’t have a criminal record. They’ve been locked up at the Dilley Trailer Prison for over a month.

DPS called ICE and took Jesús. ICE agents came back and then forced him to lure his daughter out so they could take her too. She was scared and didn’t know where she was going.

Texas DPS pulled over Jesús Bracho as he was arriving to work. When they stopped him, he told his 9-year-old daughter Katherine to go inside his boss’ house.

The courts keep striking down various Trump bids to block renewable energy, but billions of dollars in economic development are getting squandered in the meantime. It ought to be a bigger story.

The Pentagon's wind farm blockade is over — for now

A federal judge issued yet another blow to Trump’s war on wind, ruling that the Defense Department must resume its review of onshore wind permit…

This is never getting fixed until Democrats start vocally arguing that IMMIGRATION IS GOOD instead of just saying, "well, we'd like to enforce immigration laws a bit less harshly than the Trump administration"

Jessica Montoya Coggins@jessicamcoggins.bsky.social · 5d ago

A young woman is now testifying behind the black curtain about racial profiling. Her father was picked up by ICE. She only found out when he didn't show up for work. When she found his vehicle (abandoned), ICE officers then snatched her brother. “My whole world was gone in a matter of hours.”

A unique report from southern Lebanon. Mary Turfah—a resident surgeon with family who has been wounded in the country—visits both her family, who have been bombed, and the paramedics trying to save those attacked. It's a dispatch a bit unlike anything I've read before: nymag.com/intelligence...

‘If I Leave, Who Is Going to Rescue People?’

In Lebanon, Israel’s bombs have wounded thousands, including my family. I visited the paramedics risking their lives to save them.

I'm not sure how anyone can listen to this episode without screaming. People are skipping meals, selling their plasma, and worrying about feeding their kids because SNAP was deliberately made harder to navigate. All to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.

if the moderate wing of the Dem party would spend even half of the energy they are spending fighting the DSA on fighting Trump they wouldn't be losing so many primaries to the DSA

Peter Baker@peterbakernyt.bsky.social · 5d ago

Huge pet peeve. I was just ranting about this a couple of days ago. Such a sign.

Blaming an underling for something you’re responsible for is a coward’s way.

We’re also funding death squads but what’s really offensive is that somewhere out there a poor person might be able to eat

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · last wk.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

It really really really bugs me how many people simply do not understand what it means when the government tries to convict you even IF THEY FAIL TO DO IT. Do you know how many thousands of dollars in legal fees it costs? You will most likely lose your job. You might lose your home.

Anti-trans propagandists rely on “highly emotional, resonant grandstanding in which every instance of something they’re attacking is also a diagnosis of an ill in society”

Pennsylvania Capital-Star@penncapital-star.com · 2w ago

Issues around prediction market platforms have sparked action from state regulators, new legislation, and a flurry of lawsuits from states, prediction markets, and the Trump administration, which has sought to sideline state oversight. From @stateline.org

The idea that the league, teams, coaches, and players should remain silent in the face of this absolute discriminatory bullshit encouraged by bigoted statements from a player is bananas to me. Everyone should be shouting this down. You want an welcoming and inclusive fanbase? PROVE IT.

The Indiana Fever play tomorrow in Portland and Sunday in Minnesota. There are "Support Sophie Cunningham" transphobic rallies planned for both cities. Fuck all the way off. #WNBA

It really irritates me that a fandom that has been open and welcoming to women of color and queer women has become a target for fascist activists. From political lobbying to staging harassment campaigns disguised as protests to even bankrolling a player riding the bench.

WNBA suspends Seattle Storm minority owner for being rude to transphobic shitheads:

The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.

this is such absolute fucking BULLSHIT. you can comment to the WNBA using this form. contact.nba.com/wnba/

WNBA suspends Seattle Storm minority owner for being rude to transphobic shitheads:

This is the same playbook fascists used at colleges & were institutionally assisted by them all the way. Allow people to intentionally bring danger & terror to environments under the guise of free speech. Then punish the reactors. This still resulted in those same colleges being sued by fascists.
