again: "ICE operates by Vampire Rules" is an objectively true and also funny statement

lmao

NEW: We are suing three Maryland drivers who racked up more than $90,000 in fines for dangerous driving violations in DC. These are the first lawsuits brought under the STEER Act. This new civil authority empowers OAG to make our roads safer by holding dangerous drivers from any state accountable.

Under D.C.'s STEER Act, the city is finally enforcing #FAFO rules of the road wtop.com/local/2024/1...

I hope this latest move shows New Yorkers what it feels like to have the federal government messing with your own local laws and decisions, and you all get on board with DC statehood.

MTA suggesting that you'd need to go through NEPA to shut down congestion pricing is lol, dare I say it, L M A O storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

For those asking, there would be no more appropriate tribute than if the definitive statement about Prince’s life is a challenging, genius work with tangled IP rights whose creator is desperately trying to get released, but can only be watched as a grainy bootleg traded illicitly amongst fans.

Popular or not Dems cannot bend on the need for trans people to be treated with basic humanity and respect. If we give up that because the right made trans people unpopular, we give up everything. They’ll dice us group by group like a salami. We die on this hill or we die alone in a ditch

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”

Massive protest at Children’s National in DC. A former patient is speaking who they used in promotional to show how much they care about trans kids. Now the hospital is one of a small few nationwide complying with trumps unlawful EO to end trans care.

It is impossible to overstate how quickly this will kill scientific research in this country

My Bluesky feed is 95% "fight fascism" and 5% "let's improve custom software procurement processes in government." Congratulations to the dozens of you who are in the middle of that Venn diagram.
