We just launched a 16TB archive of every dataset that has been available on data.gov since November. This will be updated day by day as new datasets appear. It can be freely copied, and we're sharing the code behind it to help others make their own archives of data they depend on.

“They did this to me while I was 8 months pregnant in the rain…I only had a tank top and leggings on, it was freezing, I probably walked for 6 hours before I got picked up.” Starlight tours still happen to this day, alongside other forms of constant brutality Indigenous people face via the RCMP

To be clear: No one should comply in advance with these wild, vague, lawless threats. That would be a craven sacrifice of patients. But that is precisely what they’re designed to cause, and they require a correspondingly bold and comprehensive defense of the people who are the real targets.

What is Asheville city council doing during this time of crisis? Millions in immediate rental relief? Anti-eviction measures? Nope, they're hiking taxes on locals so a front group run by the chamber of commerce can harass anyone "out of the ordinary" with its private security. 🧵 #avlnews

I’m sorry, this might be a great investigation, but “as it was never intended” is obscene. This is precisely how many people specifically and repeatedly told us — warned us — it would be used.

While I have y'all here, wildfires aren't the only things destroying homes in the world, and I'd be much obliged if you can help my friend and brother whose family is trying to survive the camp at Al Mawasi.

The story of the Dakota 38 extends to the present day—the remains of one Dakota man was held by the Mayo Clinic for nearly 140 years—it was used by W.W. Mayo himself to teach his sons about anatomy when they were young and what would become the Mayo Clinic was a small frontier practice in LeSueur.

Since United Healthcare killers shells said “delay, deny, depose” & police said he came from Georgia, I reviewed all lawsuits on UH’s unjust claim denials there. There are so many, including cases where UH delayed till plaintiffs ran out of $. Some ended in deaths of kids. Suspect list is endless.

Continuing to develop a theory based on my time in Democratic politics that only really getting to know the people who make up the right is sufficient to understand their threat. Many Democrats do not know them. The Bulwark's writers do, even after their Damascene conversions

Bigots find out there will be a Pride float in the town Christmas Parade. Bigots send threats to float’s organizer. Town forbids Pride float. This is how you begin to erase an entire people from public existence. Shame on you, Prattville. www.alreporter.com/2024/12/05/p...

Remember when private insurance companies fought against Obamacare by claiming there would be govt run “death panels” that would ration care? Republicans repeated that phrase ad nauseam. In reality, the insurance industry were the ones running unaccountable death panels to boost their bottom lines.

I’m trying to imagine the bubble of amoral corporate douchery you have to live in to think that saying “we guard against unnecessary care” is better than just shutting the fuck up.
