Bernie, you rascal! You’re spot on here.

A novel suggestion that complexity increases over time, not just in living organisms but in the nonliving world, promises to rewrite notions of time and evolution. www.wired.com/story/why-ev...

Also this kid might single-handedly break the stranglehold the authoritarian fascist aesthetic has on Gen Z

Los Angeles school worker shares frustration over parents having to leave their children’s graduation ceremony because ICE raided an elementary school’s graduation today

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Head’s up. The Insurrection Act has not been invoked. This is against the will of the State of California #NationalGuard #USArmedForces

Last year, together with the General Assembly, Illinois created the state’s first-ever child tax credit. Its success means we are now doubling it. Good for kids. Good for families. Good for workers. Good for our economy.

Gov. Gavin Newsom said on social media that California National Guard was being taken over by the federal government “not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.”

After Trump and Elon Musk’s breakup, Republicans are in a tough spot. If they vote against the budget bill, Trump will come after them. If they vote for it, Elon will fund a primary challenger. Guess that’s karma for trying to kick 16 million Americans off health care. 🤷🏽‍♀️

The statute that President Trump has invoked - 10 U.S.C. § 12406 - has an important proviso: “orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States" Great article @justsecurity.org explains that proviso in this February 2024 article:

Bondi DOJ has a problem. On left: DOJ Indictment and Detention Memo allege Abrego Garcia lied to officer by not revealing he was coming from Texas On right: DHS Referral Report: "Subject stated he was driving 'three days ago' (11/27/2022) from Houston, TX to Temple Hills, MD (via St Louis, MO)"

66% of the entire planet is deep ocean (≥200 m), but new research shows humans have visually observed less than 0.001%, a total area approximately one-tenth of the size of Belgium. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

But definitely order public funding for parochial schools. Oh! Wait! That means all religions? What idiots. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Let’s Not Lose Focus….

I told my partner one day after the Musk and danger yam announced their dumb partnership, "There isn't room for two pathological narcissists in The Oval Office. They are going to eat each other alive." Here we are. 🔥 I hope they burn each other to a crisp.

You don’t have stories like this in countries with national healthcare systems

🚨 URGENT: CHICAGO ORGANIZER DETAINED BY ICE, SHOW UP NOW!!! 🚨 A longtime organizer in our Chicago community has just been detained by ICE. And she’s not alone, demonstrators outside have seen 3 people shackled in chains. 📍 GET TO 1930 Beach St., Broadview, IL RIGHT NOW.

Moskowitz: "Nothing has been made more efficient. Here are the wins for congressional Rs. You ready? They're gonna do a $9b recession bill. They're gonna get rid of Elmo, which the American people were clamoring for, but they're gonna add $2.4t for the debt. And then they want us to cheer for them."

If your goal is to extract as much profit as possible, you’re liable to demolish a completely fine building and replace it with a newer, more profitable one. What if we resisted this logic and did so in a way that preserved rather than jeopardized affordability? bit.ly/3ZLTPUR

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.

GPS jamming and spoofing attacks are on the rise. If the global navigation system the US relies on were to go down entirely, it would send the world into unprecedented chaos. www.wired.com/story/youre-...

“No! Mis hijos estan en La escuela! (My kids are in school!) Por favor!” Tennessee’s @davidwontshutup.bsky.social on a very difficult video to watch of ICE grabbing a mother outside immigration court in Texas.

The passage of the FY26 balanced budget is a testament to Illinois’ fiscal responsibility. Even in the face of Trump stalling the national economy, we're delivering for working families without raising their taxes — and while protecting progress for long-term fiscal health.

Penzey's Spices have an offer on this weekend.

This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

BROWN: Is this administration committed to following the court rulings and the legal process? STEPHEN MILLER: We are committed to following and obeying the laws of the United States (so, no)

its crazy how dominant germany was in science (especially chemistry) in the 19th century, it was basically the international language for scientists, people came from all over the world to train at heidelberg etc, and then....

A new PDB could include not only graphics and pictures but also maps with animated representations of exploding bombs, similar to a video game, another one of the people with knowledge of the discussions said. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
