I don't (focusing on physical therapy to deal with symptoms at the moment) but you might be able to find some leads in this Facebook group "Northern CA Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome/Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders Support": www.facebook.com/groups/19777...

"The most striking thing about the memos is indeed nobody citing the dangers of climate change as a factor to even consider. ...The executive action would impose costs on business, and that’s all we need to know."

As noted in my previous post, the Fifth Circuit's decision goes against fundamental First Amendment principles and binding U.S. Supreme Court authority. We anticipate asking the Supreme Court to reverse this ruling and uphold the religious-freedom rights of children and parents.

The courts prematurely killed the SAVE student loan plan without evaluating the merits of Missouri v Biden.

So our members filed a motion to intervene.

What the Dept. of Ed just said in their response is actually pretty mind-boggling.

They admit debtor interests don't matter.

Temescal residents describe waking up to the 'whooshing' sound of a gas leak PG&E says they handled the leak quickly but residents were alarmed about what happened.

Oh cool, PG&E nearly blew up the neighborhood last week. oaklandside.org/2026/04/16/t...

this is horrifying

on this basis they could charge a GC holder with anything in absentia, arrest them on their return to the US, and deport them on the grounds they've been charged with something before ever seeing a courtroom

"The entire LIHEAP staff was fired in April 2025; at least one staff member was rehired when no one else in the government knew how to disburse the correct amount of remaining funds already appropriated to states."

Anyone know the current status of LIHEAP staff/capacity to disburse to states?

From EPA to DOJ? Zeldin’s words may haunt him. The EPA chief’s partisan attacks energize the base but risk weakening cases he’d oversee if he's named attorney general.

EPA Chief Lee Zeldin is good at tailoring his message to MAGA media. But that sometimes puts him at odds with EPA's official justifications for actions -- whether it be a rule or the cancellation of a grant. And that could be a liability if he moves over to DOJ: www.eenews.net/articles/fro...

The Green New Deal has evolved. Now it's all about 'affordability.' A new "working class climate agenda" seeks to provide economic relief and tackle global warming at the same time.

Thrilled to be quoted in Grist, on Green Economic Populism:

"Fossil fuels are unreliable. They drive up your cost of living. They cause wars and people die. And if we make a green transition, that will make everyday life better for working people who are struggling."

Emails show Amazon colluding with other firms to raise prices, California authorities allege The previously redacted messages were unveiled as part of an antitrust battle with California attorney general Rob Bonta

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online

The leaked memos confirm what we all knew: Big Oil effectively has the conservative Justices on retainer. This casts a disturbing pall over future cases affecting oil industry interests, including, most notably, Suncor.

We have agreed that the bickering between the Todds is the closest representation of our relationship dynamics portrayed on TV.

The husband and I are watching season 3 of The Diplomat and enjoying observing how much better we are at communicating as a married couple than the Wylers.

Alito briefly died in 2024 and we can remove him from SCOTUS + nullify every ruling since because he has a LIFELONG term not a TWO LIFELONGS TERM

2. Because of longstanding and ongoing processing delays at USCIS, noncitizen workers have long faced a risk that their EADs will expire before the agency processes their applications for renewal. To mitigate that risk, the agency has, since 2016, provided automatic work permit extensions to workers in certain EAD categories who had timely filed renewal applications in the same category as their current EAD. 3. On October 30, 2025, however, defendant USCIS, an agency within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), issued an Interim Final Rule (IFR) that sharply increases the risk that hundreds of thousands of people will lose work authorization solely due to USCIS's own persistent backlog. The IFR abruptly eliminated automatic work permit extensions for all EADs as of the IFR's date of publication. EAD holders who filed or will file to renew on or after October 30, 2025, will lose work authorization on the expiration dates printed on their current EADs, regardless of how long their renewal application has been pending at USCIS.

4. Plaintiff Jane Doe1 brings this case to challenge the IFR eliminating automatic work permit extensions. Ms. Doe, a citizen of Mexico who has lived in the United States for nearly ten years, is a survivor of domestic violence who was granted immigration relief in the United States under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Ms. Doe is the sole caregiver and financial provider for her eight-year-old daughter, who is a U.S. citizen. Ms. Doe has relied on the automatic work permit extension in the past to maintain her employment while USCIS processed her renewal 1 Plaintiff is concurrently filing a motion to proceed under a pseudonym. Case 1:26-cv-01336 Document 1 Filed 04/20/26 Page 2 of 23 3 application. She applied in November 2025 to renew her current EAD, which expires at the end of June 2026. USCIS has not yet processed her renewal. Because of the IFR, she is at substantial risk that her work authorization will lapse, leaving her unable to work, to pay her bills, and to provide for her daughter.

5. The IFR is unlawful. USCIS violated the procedural requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) by making this change immediately effective, without providing notice or an opportunity for public comment. Although USCIS invoked the APA's good-cause and foreign-affairs exceptions to notice-and-comment rulemaking, its rationales are unfounded. USCIS cited national security concerns and the need to vet applicants for immigration benefits, but a lapse in an EAD does not affect an individual's immigration status or their ability to remain in the United States. And critically, applicants for EAD renewals have already been vetted for work authorization. 6. The rule is also arbitrary and capricious. It contravenes USCIS's statutory obligation to safeguard the nation's economic security; disregards the factual record underlying a December 2024 rulemaking on the same subject; rests on unsupported speculation contradicted by USCIS's own actions; and ignores the foreseeable and substantial harms to workers, families, employers, and the broader economy.

BREAKING: A woman in the U.S. legally from Mexico for nearly a decade sues over the Trump administration's immediate change in Oct 2025 to work authorization renewals (employment authorization documents, or EADs), ending extensions even when renewal processing is delayed based on USCIS backlog.

US Southern Command: On April 19, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED

We murdered three more people in boats today

personally I agree that we should indeed reject the hollow pluralism of pretending that we shouldn't judge Klan, Nazi, and sparkling eugenicist subcultures according to what they have historically produced, and would enthusiastically endorse rejecting inclusion of them in public life

Palantir just released what can only be described as a corporate mass shooter manifesto.

anyone who knew someone with pancreatic cancer knows how big of a deal this is

I am not a lawyer, but am I reading correctly that the majority opinion cited the concern of “irreparable harm” to the coal industry (which employs ~40,000 people) with no mentions of the “irreparable harm” higher CO2 emissions could bring to the population of (at the time) ~7,500,000,000 people?

The Supreme Court’s Shadow Docket Signaling and the Racial Politics of Immigration Enforcement | Stanford Law School This post is part of Challenging Precedent, a blog of the Stanford Center for Racial Justice examining race, law, and regulation in the Trump era. Whe

The Supreme Court is fundamentally corrupt & after the NYT reporting there's a big opening for Democrats to make a huge stink about the shadow docket and that it was born to stop the first Black POTUS's climate agenda. We must talk about how the shadow docket has become a racially weaponized tool.

Incredible how a single person can so wrongly impact the lives of everyone else on Earth. Decisions like this harm BILLIONS of people. Roberts could never properly answer for this shit.

Attorney General Bonta Secures Critical Win in Nexstar/Tegna Merger Challenge, Court Orders Titans to Halt Merging Court grants states’ request for a preliminary injunction OAKLAND — California Attorney General Rob Bonta today issued the following statement after the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of...

We’ve secured a court order halting the merger of Nexstar/Tegna while our case continues — a critical win.

This merger is illegal, plain and simple. The federal govt may have thrown in the towel, but we’ll keep fighting for consumers, for workers, for affordability, and for our local news.

Lee Zeldin's EPA named its new scientific advisory board today. On the list:

- 6 people from chemical, fertilizer, and oil companies
- 1 climate change skeptic
- 1 clean air skeptic

Chemours used research from one of the newly-named advisors to lobby against PFOA regulation.

This is why I always giggle when Pigou comes up:
