USAGM today urgently called back to work the staff of the Voice of America's Farsi language service. All had been on paid admin leave for the past three months with the rest of VOA's silenced journalists.

We are relieved to have 3 of our brothers detained in upstate New York now free from ICE custody. Intimidation by ICE will never stop labor organizing. Si Se Puede. Read news release at ufw.org/ufw-welcomes...

Republicans want to pass a law that allows them to kill grandma, put the kids to work in the warehouse or factory, and bankrupt millions.

The news yesterday was insane. So much happened.  But what didn’t really get covered was one of the cruelest bills to ever pass the House.  6 ways that this bill will hurt, if not kill, children and families. 🧵🎥👇🏼

It's all "hot air."

Really enjoying this one.

Republicans are not acting in good faith on anything. They don't care about anyone's legal status; they want to terrorize. They don't care about deficits or debt; they want to steal. They don't care about birth rates; they want fear. They don't care about defense or security; they want power.

I have chills RCV is a structure to build durable coalitions Think how much healthier this is for the local party, for the city, for the actual final outcome Sorkin-sentimental fantasy to imagine a politics like this

This is useful and accurate.

We have reached the "blame the target for the bombs falling on their heads" phase of empire-speak.

Brian Wilson had struggled with #LongCovid for his last few years. "There was no trauma to speak of until that very last tour in ’22. He kind of went silent and began to suffer the effects of long-term COVID...that was a turning point for him. He became detached." uk.news.yahoo.com/brian-wilson...

If you are listening with credulity to elected Republicans, well there's your problem right there.

The EU must step up its efforts to lead the climate change fight as the US retreats, the head of this year's global climate summit in Brazil told POLITICO.

While ICE kidnaps families, Israel wipes them out. “A poem by a young Iranian poet Parnia Abbasi who, along with her family, all civilians, was killed today in a brutal and unlawful Israeli attack in the Sattarkhan neighbourhood of Tehran.” www.pamenarpress.com/post/parnia-...

The Meta AI debacle is just this, 20 years on, and on purpose. Incredible how little anyone has learned web.archive.org/web/20190324...

Congress is on the verge of passing a bill that will wreck our health care system. Whether or not you get health care through Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, or Medicare, these cuts will affect everyone when it bankrupts the providers we all depend on. #SaveMedicaidKillTheBill

Very excited to have to use a different "StoreBuck" for every single retail purchase, having a million forms of currency doesn't sound like a problem we solved 150 years ago at all www.wsj.com/finance/bank...

I get why folks try to avoid antisemitism by saying Christians are the driving force of Zionism in the USA, and there's some truth to it (more Christian Zionists than Jewish ones, in absolute numbers), but Zionism is still primarily a Jewish problem that can only be ultimately solved by Jews

Israel is the overwhelming reason Iran pursues a nuclear weapon. Israel is an accelerant, not water, on the fire Israel built, lit, and fuels.

I support the victims of crimes against humanity, not the criminals.

The main question here is whether Alina Habba should not be struck off the rolls of persons authorized to practice law. The charges against McIver are baseless and rest on a tissue of conscious lies. The purpose of the prosecution is to intimidate Americans concerned about the misconduct of ICE.

I know people are skeptical, but it is good to have members of the gop speaking out, if only to give the media a chance to not be bothsidesing assholes. 1

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, reacting to Senator Padilla being handcuffed and forcibly removed from Kristi Noem’s press conference: “I’ve seen that one clip. It’s horrible. It is shocking at every level. It’s not the America I know.”

You don't know America at all, Senator. Defect your fascist party or continue to be complicit.

The Gaza genocide is structured, the Israeli tactics are clear and easy to understand - because they are just telling us what their plans are. The only thing that can stop a final solution right now is if Israel is forced to by its allies. We're at that stage. www.972mag.com/gaza-expulsi...

In context of the 3,000 arrests/day mandate, this means turbocharging arrests in construction, child&elder care, delivery services, transport, manufacturing. It also means desperate ICE agents prowling the streets for victims. Courts, check-ins, and interviews will be ground zero for arrests...

world war :3

I hate having to constantly explain basic stuff like “externalities” to this administration. Do people think we were subsidizing solar for funzies or because it has benefits in terms of CO2 reduction not captured in the direct value of electricity it produces?

COVID-19 vaccines may protect patients from severe kidney damage. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients were less likely to have severe kidney damage if they were vaccinated. www.upi.com/Health_News/...

No shortage of solid male role models in the Democratic Party. Why are the bro podcasters ignoring these guys?

Seeing the NYT talk about its reporter embedding with ICE makes me uncomfortable. You simply aren't doing unbiased journalism if you've accepted the parameters for doing that, and it's no different than embedding with an organized crime ring.

Still not nearly as lawless as a real ICE officer.

Maybe having masked, unidentified men do whatever they want to people wasn’t the great idea it seemed to be at first

Hope for the future is fuel for the present.

The Israel attack on Iran and what unfolds is very likely to boost the efforts of many countries to reduce their dependency on fossil fuels - something that is already gaining a lot of momentum this year from cheaper renewables + storage:

Great thread on why fossil fuel dependency is a fool's errand - which is why emerging economies are dumping it.

A quick reminder about the targets in this war: russian drones destroyed a warehouse with 100+ tonnes of humanitarian aid in Zaporizhzhia. Ukrainian drones hit Nevinnomyssk Azot — one of russia’s largest chemical plants.

It’s not every day that a city planner is asked to collaborate with the world’s most inspiring city & mayor to try to inspire every city in the world. That’s what @brenttoderian.bsky.social’s been doing, resulting in this NEW PARIS CITY HALL EXHIBITION on bold climate action thru better city-making!
