Honolulu police say they are launching a review after attorneys accused officers of arresting sober drivers to meet quotas. The ACLU of Hawaii says it has identified at least 127 people arrested from 2022 through 2024 who had blood alcohol levels of 0.00.

If American cities are gonna get choked for transit funding, I think they should be looking to improving bike/ped infrastructure to fill some gaps at a much more affordable cost.

“Millions of Californians who rely on Medi-Cal & In-Home Supportive Services could lose eligibility under a proposal requiring recipients to prove their assets total less than $2,000” This is forcing disabled people (further) into legislated poverty Asset tests are cruel & another form of eugenics

On the three-year anniversary of the verdict in Depp v. Heard, I wrote about realizing the terrible truth that she was, in fact, the victim—and seeing the DARVO playbook weaponized against endless women online and in the courts ever since. spitfirenews.com/p/what-we-di...

Data harvesting and collection is what tech oligarchs were always after. They had no intention of saving money or reducing U.S. debt.

Every Sounders player is currently wearing a "Club World Cash Grab" shirt in warmups.

"Why are there so may different flags for Pride Month?" A lot of LGBTQ folks like having a flag that represents their specific identity. Non-LGBTQ folks often do the same. There isn't just the U.S. flag; there are flags for states, counties, cities, military branches, etc. Who's it bothering?

If there are only 1.2 million of "illegal aliens" receiving benefits why not just stop their benefits?? Why is it necessary to cut benefits for 12 - 13 million more people??? The GOP is lying and this is just cruelty.

We are very here for @mehdirhasan.bsky.social calling out @RepJohnRose’s latest blatant hypocrisy 🔥

BREAKING: Texas lawmakers passed S.B. 37, which dramatically increases state control of public universities. Allowing politically appointed bureaucrats to police curricula and override faculty expertise is a direct threat to academic freedom in Texas.

This is hilarious Love it arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

Vought blatantly lies about Medicaid cuts on CNN, claiming "no one will lose coverage as a result of this bill"

California NIMBYs oppose a bill that legalizes denser housing near transit because it “discriminates against disabled people”… I wish I was making this up if you live in California, call or email your state senator in support of SB79 because building more housing near transit is good, actually

Remove all warning labels and let nature take its course. 🙄😬👍

7th District Congressman Eric Burlison won’t bother to engage with his constituents, but I will. I drove fours hours for this meeting and it was standing room only in Joplin, Missouri. #LFG

In the past, free Black people were kidnapped and placed into slavery. In 2025, Latinos are being kidnapped and detained; even though they are US citizens or in legal status. This is Solomon Northup, a free Black man who spent 12 years as a slave. Do not dismiss history.

Happy Pride 🌈 #LosAngeles

You know who's still showing up to protest outside of their local Tesla? The good people of Columbus, OH! #TeslaTakedown Columbus: the 🩵 blue heart of red #Ohio

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

It's still early in the year, but I *do* have "Robert Kennedy Jr Wins a Darwin Award" on my BINGO card.

Marilyn Monroe, born 99 years ago today. When Ella Fitzgerald couldn’t get booked at the Mocambo Club because she was Black, Monroe (at the height of her own fame) called the owner and told him if he booked Ella, she would take a front table every night. And she did. #RIP

There is an old saying that "when public health works, it's invisible." This has a lot of truth, but I think there is more going on than just a lack of appreciation for what public health does. apnews.com/article/publ...

There’s a disturbing number of people insinuating the poor or disabled individuals shouldn’t have cell phones as they’re a “luxury” First, we deserve nice things too. Second, it’s 2025. They’re not a luxury anymore Case in point, RFK Jr’s decision to restrict Covid vaccines? Announced on X only

He nailed it!

Oh, Joni…

Greek restaurants in Brooklyn seriously know how to do gay pride.

Happy #Caturday! #tailsofjoy tailsofjoy.net

they support Carol but do they support ANYONE ELSE? the majority of the time, republicans only give a shit about someone they know, it does not change their world view about how others should be treated. I will be thrilled if it does, but sure Lucy, set the football up one more time.

by carefully mixing 10% cream with 1% skim milk, you can unlock forbidden milk percentages the government doesn't want you to know about, like 7.725%
