Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

Rodney Taylor still needs our help!

He’s still locked in an ICE camp.

He’s still going without his new prosthetic legs.

He’s still facing deportation to Liberia.

He’s still having necessary disability accommodations ignored.

Please keep sharing his story. Public pressure works!

Due to Israel interception of all 40 Global Samud Flotilla, the people of Gaza were able to fish during the distraction.

Here’s a comprehensive list of appropriate responses upon hearing that a man murdered worshippers at a synagogue:

1- this is fucked up, fuck that guy, fuck antisemitism, solidarity with the victims

2- see above

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

if transgender for everybody is a consequence of shutting down the government, that’s a deal i’ll have to take

They found 38 unmarked graves of Indigenous children at Immaculate Conception Mission in South Dakota and it didn't make the news outside of Indian Country.

Has everyone heard that Reading Rainbow is coming back and that Mychal the librarian is hosting?? 🤗🌈🤗

Deportations are political violence.

I don't really care that they refused to mourn left-wing and liberal figures when they died, I'm not taking my moral cues from them, that's the whole point

"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." —Justice Sonia Sotomayor

How AI infrastructure is driving a sharp rise in electricity bills Electricity bills are climbing nationwide, rising faster than inflation in many places. The explosive growth of AI and the massive data centers behind it are driving demand and straining the grid. To ...

“So, the rise of these industrial-scale computing facilities that are needed for A.I. and other Internet applications is certainly one of the factors driving up prices.”

“And I think there’s a chance that A.I. is going to drive our bills even higher in the future.”

Florida is a center of international tourism and has one of the top 3 populations of retirees.

Ending childhood vaccine requirements for school entry there is so dangerous I don’t even know where to start.

Ground zero for massive unchecked outbreaks of vaccine preventable disease.

2. Disease outbreaks that rapidly spread globally due to Florida’s tourism industry and airport hubs.

3. Eventually, mutations arise that evade current vaccines.

All thanks to MAHA and MAGA.

What happens when vaccine coverage collapses in Florida because they are ending vaccine requirements for school entry?

1. Disease outbreaks that end up hospitalizing and killing infants too young to be vaccinated by responsible parents, the elderly whose immunity wanes, and the immunocompromised.

This isn't abstract. Ending vaccine mandates will kill children. Any one who is trying to do this should be removed from office immediately.

The most alarming thing about the internet is how it kills our capacity for delight. People spend hours scrolling glass-eyed through content that brings only crumbs of amusement. Real joy is found in the real world: in reading, in starlight, in birdsong, in service to others.

When I was writing my fourth book and reached out to an historian about the limits of depicting slavery in fiction and he told me straight up that anything that I could think of that might've happened during slavery, most likely it happened.

That was the most horrific statement I've ever heard.

one reason it is especially frustrating that centrist writers keep doing this "well crime is a problem" two-step is that the administration's approach to "fighting violent crime" is basically guaranteed to make actually reducing violent crime even more difficult

Keyed-up cops and military told to "subdue crime" in a place where there is not actually that much crime will be more likely to view any and all actions *As Crimes* in order to meet the expectations they hold, and certain people they've been taught to view as inherently criminal will bear the brunt.

How would the rise of fascism in America look any different than this?

I’ll freely admit that I underestimated “own the libs” as a totalitarian impulse. Anything that brings us pleasure, they feel like they need to destroy.

There are many excellent research groups worldwide who will improve and expand on what has been developed already. The IP will then reside with them. Millions worldwide will continue to benefit but maybe not Americans who can't afford a vaccination vacation in a place they can access vaccines.

Despite more than a decade of civil war, Yemen is a major route for migrants from East Africa and the Horn of Africa trying to reach the Gulf Arab countries for work. Migrants are taken by smugglers on often dangerous, overcrowded boats across the Red Sea or Gulf of Aden.

the people who make porn simply do not have the power to harm “society” that is ascribed to them, and certainly nothing compared to the power of like two guys at CBS and the NYT, or X, or
