@travisview.bsky.social the owl in the mcnaughton disease painting seems ambiguous but if you look closely you’ll notice it’s a spotted owl, which back in the early 90s was a big bugaboo of the far right due to it’s endangered status shutting down some clear cut logging operations at the time.

ATTN FEDS: The @aflcio.org just launched a new initiative to connect us with legal resources when we are fired illegally or our rights at work are violated. 💪 Please help spread the word! ⬇️

UPDATE: It happened. In an 11:15 meeting, employees were told that the office has been eliminated and their positions will be terminated.

The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN) @autisticadvocacy.org have a form set up to request a volunteer call #Congress on your behalf - this is also open to anyone with a disability - about their Action Alert topic, which at this time is asking Congress to protect #Medicaid. #resist

It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Thanks to @bogartandfriends.bsky.social for posting this in the other place.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

no criminal record no gang ties no tattoos active pending asylum case **19 years old** sent by trump to prison (forever?) in el salvador www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

MAJOR SCOOP: The local detective who first accused Mr. Abrego Garcia of being a member of MS-31 was suspended from the police force and indicted merely WEEKS LATER for providing confidential information to a sex worker who he was paying in exchange for sexual acts.

"the worst and dumbest people in the world gloating about how they solved the ‘grift’ of sending lifesaving medications to dying babies...” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/o...

Big Journalism is still doing stenography instead of showing the reality of the Trump regime's headlong race into fascism. At TechDirt, @mmasnick shows how journalism could work if it located a spine. www.techdirt.com/202... 1/2

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

File impeachment articles that are just direct quotes from the Declaration of Independence

The White House cites an NPR feature that states "banana slugs are hermaphrodites" as a reason to cease public funding of the network. But banana slugs literally are hermaphrodites! Like that is just a scientific fact! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_...

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

"I think it's only a matter of time before [a state attorney general] figures out how to file state kidnapping charges against those that are abducting people who are in the country legally..." says former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley.

Bukele has already returned migrants to the U.S. because they were from Central America or they were women—migrants the Trump admin had unilaterally declared as “criminals.” This is all a joke to them. It’s truly sick.

Growing a spine can be contagious.

They violated a court order to keep the AP out of the event where they publicly violated a different court order
