It goes without saying the piece is absolutely gorgeous as well!

“Apple blossom birdflower” has a real “cellar door” quality to it 💕

Monterey Park becomes the first city in California to ban "all data centers within city limits" Residents of the small enclave east of LA not only killed their city's proposed 250,000 square foot data center, they pushed city council to ban them altogether

The "public comments at the hearing before the vote left little doubt that Monterey Park residents overwhelmingly disdained not only the prospect of a massive, noisy, and polluting infrastructure project being erected in their backyards, but who that project would benefit, at their expense.”

Someone please explain to me why Andy Serkis’s Tom Bombadil singing voice sounds like that. It didn’t have to be like this.

This feels like a MK special movie

a simple drawing, in flat color halftones of a yellow maneki neko holding an arrow and a laure wreath. She has skulls reflected in her eyes and is blowing a raspberry. Text above says “for victory over your enemies”.

I think the only thing worth saying about Joe Rogan is that he's a Republican.

That's label describes what he does, but dodging that label is key to his appeal to his audience.

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

I am so tired of hearing about John Robert’s “legacy” as if “oh NOW he’s gonna care, because HISTORY will judge him” an it’s like… who gives a fuck, legacy??

👇🎯 Yes but it needs to go further:

- No shadow docket
- No clerks
- No building
- Riding the circuit

We can debate necessary structural reforms like more seats & such. But first, immediately, the next Congress needs to strip these Wizards In Robes of every perk & power not explicitly in Art. III.

I'm so fucking tired of this face. For the love of GOD Disney. All your female characters look the fucking same.

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection.

So forgive me if I smell a rat.

The point is someone said we should call ICE detention “concentration camps” so Americans know they aren’t “prisons and jail.” Heaven forbid folks get the notion that mass incarceration is bad.

Overcrowding, bad (no) medical care, not enough food, filth — these are average and expected in this country’s jails and prisons everywhere.
ICE detention conditions aren’t below the norm — that’s the norm. That’s what 2 million ppl and their families experience every day.

99.999 percent of US citizens are one pink slip, one medical emergency, one failed investment away from homelessness. A gay teenager ousted by religious parents, a disabled/elderly person unable to work or an addict struggling without a support network. They will all be enslaved. This is slavery.

Housing Not Handcuffs - Louisiana advances bill to funnel homeless people into forced treatment and unpaid labor This bill requires homeless people to pay for the very treatment they are forced into. And if the person cannot pay the cost of treatment, this bill requires them to perform unpaid labor for the…

BREAKING: Louisiana has advanced one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country. It would force homeless people to choose between jail and involuntary treatment, make them pay for it, and if they can't pay, force them to perform unpaid labor. buff.ly/d6rXj5h

oh we are charging ICE agents!!!

To add to this excellent thread: AI detectors DO NOT WORK. At all. They are wildly unreliable, offering false positives and false negatives so much that if you are paying for one you are being grifted.

Celeste Dupuy-Spencer, Artist Who Confronted Injustice, Dies at 46 She stood up for human rights in both her paintings and her advocacy, criticizing Israel’s violence against Palestinians and the rise of fascism in the US.

Celeste Dupuy-Spencer, painter and human rights advocate, died at the age of 46 at her home in Los Angeles. The trans artist deconstructed violent moments of contemporary American politics through her art, and was a vocal critic of Israel’s war against Palestinians and the rise of fascism in the US.

She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since.

But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.
