This is the situation ICE is leaving detainees in.

The work is still going to bring people home.

I'M SO BACK

*rants about Tulare lake, beavers, egrets, and migratory bird protections for 20 minutes*
My therapist: So now we can confirm beyond any doubt that you've recovered from the post-surgery brainfog

Two (more) great reasons to subscribe to the @texasobserver.org — a cover story by the amazing @jessicawluther.com on the benefits of trans athletes in Texas sports and the coinciding beautiful cover art!

is this little anus of evil just going to be a permenant fixture of google docs now? Is there no way to get rid of it? thanks i hate it™

I'm about to dedicate my life to messing with Texas.

literally letting robots compete while banning trans people 🙃

My cat is sitting on my lap as we watch and occasionally sits up to pay attention, it's usually when demon shit is happening. She knows her people.

Rewatching the untamed, and every time wen zhuliu figures out something about the plot and goes "that's not my business" and doesn't tell his boss. Retail king.

I have some feta at home so if I could just find a basket of waffle fries I could probably make something functional but my best bet is probably the hot bar at Shaw's.

I badly want cheesy fries but the closest the northeast seems to have is poutine and I just had abdominal surgery, I'm not ready for that.

The fact that y’all have all the time in the world to philosophize about how much you hate Platner but no time in the world to talk about his opponent @andrealaflamme.bsky.social says a lot about the seriousness of your interest in the Maine race

The Trump administration's proposed rule change says public servants must either fall in line with the fascists or lose their shot at a debt-free life — forever.

Tell your Senator to protect PSLF by signing on to cosponsor the PSLF CRA.
click.everyaction.com/k/129594157/...

If 30 Senate Dems call a CRA vote, this regulation can go to the floor for a full vote.

Senate Dems are a few votes shy.

Here's who isn't on board yet:

Warnock
Kelly
Gallego
Ossoff
Schatz
Murphy
Bennett
Slotkin
Fetterman
Baldwin
Warner
Hirono
Peters
Smith
Cortez Masto
Heinrich

Trump wants to use this rule to take PSLF eligibility away from any person/organization he dislikes.

Health professional that cares for immigrants?

Work in a sanctuary city—or for a blue state government?

This rule would give Trump carte blanche powers to strip debt relief.

The Trump Department of Education wrote a dangerous new regulation that would strip Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) from people based on their "political ideology."

It's a completely naked fascist attempt.

But Senate Dems can stop him—it just requires a few more votes.

If I could have my way I would take half the highway and build high speed rail on top of it, have some of this back. Especially in the Midwest we have so many straight line highways that would be really suitable for high speed rail.

Jeez that line between Columbus and Chillicothe if it still existed and had been updated accordingly over the years would have been great in grad school, when I had to make that commute daily for an internship. Actually I think all my grad school commutes would have improved if I'm reading it right.

The worst part of any bike ride is cars.

‘Energy dominance’ agenda sidelines tribes - High Country News Changes to NEPA and other rules and policies by the Trump administration could sideline tribal nations’ efforts to take part in land management projects and decisions on federal lands.

Changes to NEPA come at the expense of tribal consultation. The administration has changed or revoked rules and policies to prioritize extraction.

When I lived in the Philly area I also heard weird crows and asked the biologist I worked with what they were - also fish crows. But SE Pennsylvania is a known part of their range. It's cool to hear that they're coming to Ohio.

Among our wide ranging conversation, which also investigates whether squid are aliens or gay–spoiler alert, they are definitely one of them– the first guest on the Streets Dept Podcast, @sarahmackattack.bsky.social offers some practical advice for how you can help increase biodiversity in your city!

I've coughed and sneezed a few times after my hysterectomy a week and a half ago and it's bad every time, but I just stopped a sneeze so I'm basically a magician.

Hey fyi way too many, even leftists who should know better, effusively praising the papacy is making it way, way more difficult to organize against this.

This trans healthcare ban is literally going to cost trans people's lives but yeah, woke pope made a statement or whatever.

Just watched a video of Andy Weir describing neutrinos and he says they quantum tunnel through pretty much everything and I don’t feel this is an appropriate use of ”quantum tunneling”

Anyway why ask a woman physicist when you can ask a dude novelist

when you love blorbo but blorbo is owned by one of the most evil conglomerates on earth but also the stuff made for blorbo is made by real people putting love and work into it but also they're probably underpaid but also they probably still wanna keep their jobs 😔
