Even in Appalachia (largest stands of hardwood), this would create some whiplash for mountain and forest towns who've went all-in on recreation and tourism as an economic engine.

California National Guard troops under federal control were sent to operate in "the greater Los Angeles area." What the actual definition of that area is for Task Force 51 is isn't clear. But apparently it includes the Salton Sea. New from me @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/nationa...

We need to start pushing back—legally If they’re masked, unmarked, and flashing Amazon gear, report it for what it is: an attempted kidnapping by law enforcement impersonators. 🎥 Record. 📍 Share location. 📞 Call the police. “ICE vest” is not an ID.

We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well. We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

If I pluck a story at random on the Tesla Robotaxi fail, not a single one mentions that the Trump administration and his courts have taken an absolute hatchet to corporate oversight and consumer protection. Why? It's kind of important context that regulators can't/won't do their jobs anymore?

Massive US companies have taken over veterinary services in the UK. That's what they do. It makes massive profits. They are bastards. And the government must do something to address this. #wato

This is not a budget bill, it is a debt and deportation bill—and one built on the fascist foundation laid by the Heritage Foundation’s now-notorious Project 2025. https://trib.al/K2EAuN0

I thought I saw an Iranian sleeper cell in masks, camo and assault rifles kidnap people from a job site and thrown them into a van, then I realized it was ICE.

I know he hasn’t taken questions much (bc he’s actually a coward!) but on the off chance he does, can someone ask Cuomo if he pledges to serve a full term if he wins & promise now not to run for president? Just to get him on the record here…

He is not influential, not respected, and does not understand the first thing about foreign relations and conflict. This is too complicated for a simpleton like him. On top of that, he can’t keep his big, dumb mouth shut.

I don’t believe a single goddamn thing coming out of this administration. This is absolute gaslighting madness. It’s as if we’re watching toddlers run through the White House screaming and smearing Gogurt into the carpet and the entire world has to pretend it’s the Lincoln-Douglas debates.

I’m still not over the fact that there was an extremely popular award-winning movie over a decade ago about the perils of falling in love with a chatbot and a company decided to make the chatbot in the image of the movie’s chatbot and now quite a few people have decided to date it

I love dogs. Not everyone loves dogs. Even the nicest, most well behaved dog can be dangerous and frightening to some folks, particularly those with disabilities. Keep your dog leashed unless you’re at a dog park or somewhere else being off-leash is explicitly allowed.

Good morning, Bluesky!! Today, I share a video. It is unfortunately not a funny video. It is, however, a video of a great injustice being served to our brave women and men who serve in our armed forces. Allowing tech bros to become LT. Colonels in our military with zero experience. #SheShed

I know this is going to surprise everyone but President Big Mac and his legion of incompetent brown shirts did not, in fact, manage to secure a viable ceasefire. Let's hear it for the pathetic "we demand a Nobel Peace Prize" idiots on cable news.
