US Capitol unveils statue of teen civil rights icon Barbara Rose Johns, taking Robert E. Lee's spot The U.S. Capitol on Tuesday began displaying a statue of a teenaged Barbara Rose Johns as she protested poor conditions at her segregated Virginia high school, a pointed replacement for a statue of Co...

"Virginia will now be properly represented by an actual patriot, who embodied the principle of liberty and justice for all and not a traitor, who took up arms against the United States to preserve the brutal institution of chattel slavery." -- @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social apnews.com/video/us-cap...

French Dip is a sandwich I enjoy more in theory than execution. It's mostly just "Stain on your shirt: The Sandwich."

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Which game?

Deck the hall with boughs of holly, Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! "Tis the season to be jolly: a, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! Fill the meadcup, drain the barrel, Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! Troll the ancient Christmas carol. Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

TIL the original lyrics to Deck the Halls are awesome and “don we now our gay apparel” is temperance movement bullshit

Croatia Adds to EU Push for Safe and Accessible Abortion MPs meet members of an initiative that has collected 1.2 million signtaures, including 65,000 from Croatia, demanding safe and accsssible abortion rights for all women in the EU.

Almost 1.2 million EU citizens have signed onto the My Choice My Choice resolution, which the European Parliament will vote on next week, to help fund abortions in the EU. Croatia alone gathered 65,000 signatures, 780% more than the national threshold set for each country.

As has been pointed out, this isn't even in the stadium, which FIFA controls. This is SEATTLE celebrating Pride. They want the CITY to cancel their Pride plans.

They can all fuck all the way off.

Once again, a grand jury has declined to re-indict Letitia James. 👏

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

MAP 1| States with the most Catholic hospital beds Percentage of staffed acute care hospital beds that are in Catholic facilities ranging from 20-46%

Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

This is a perfect example as to why we need AI regulation yesterday.

AI cannot be the arbiter of whether human beings can live or die. This is an excuse for insurance companies to fire human workers and make our healthcare system even more nightmarish for a quick buck.

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors.

New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

The alleged drug carrier boats were not headed in the direction of the US ( which those small boats could not reach without re fueling at least 20 times). They were headed in the direction of Brazil, Ecuador or an African country

As many expected, the truth is finally coming out, they were just fishermen. The family of the Colombian man killed in the Sept. 15 U.S. military strike in the Caribbean Sea has now filed a formal complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, alleging

"… in the present instance, it was perfectly clear to the accused that killing defenceless people in the life-boats could be nothing else but a breach of the law. As naval officers by profession they were well aware …."

New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.

this is just gutter racism

Well, maybe Lyndon Johnson.

Bicycle counts significantly increased on every corridor where we completed Better Bike Lanes projects in 2024. The number of people biking, and the percentage of all traffic they make up, both saw substantial increases. ▸ We counted over 3,000 more daily bike trips, a 55% increase across all projects. In our prior report on Better Bike Lane projects completed in 2023, we recorded a 44% increase in volume. The latest projects appear to have tapped into even more growth potential by focusing on mostly arterial streets and closing key new network connection gaps. ▸ Bicycles as a share of of all traffic increased to 7% of daily traffic across all projects, nearly doubling from 4% in the baseline condition. Some projects saw bicycle mode share as high as 19% ▸ Boylston Street (Back Bay) topped the list with a near doubling (+83%) of daily bike trips, leading four other corridors that measured growth of nearly 50% or more.

The latest evaluation of bike lane projects in Boston continues to show that if you build bike infrastructure, people will use it.

Hell yeah! Non violent resistance!

Pretty sure Biden was NEVER that disrespectful.

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.
