Love This: In Louisiana, air pollution monitoring becomes an act of resistance
lailluminator.com/2025/11/02/c...

Citizen-led pollution monitoring persists in Louisiana, despite law that limits its use • Louisiana Illuminator

Communities around Louisiana are taking environmental data collection into their own hands — despite a law restricting how their findings can be used to enforce regulations.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.

But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.

You can’t negotiate with people like that.

A lot of the people you see arguing against food assistance are actually on food assistance. They work at Walmart or a convenience store and think they are deserving, but others are not.

This is projection and the way that the 1% keep poor people pitted against poor people so they don’t look up.

Why do people think it was possible to ship those jobs to China in the first place? Because the skills you needed you could learn on the job. They were jobs you could do right out of high school, not special manly jobs meant for raising families. Respect work of ALL kinds. 2/2

I have heard from some people that fast food jobs were "created" for "kids" and therefore don't deserve a living wage. Not only is this not how capitalism or business works, but factory jobs were no more skilled back in the day. The only reason you could raise a family on them was unions. 1/2

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

I'm pretty sure Trump has no idea what's inside the Bible. He does care very much what's on his bank account.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

Bari Weiss is completely unremarkable looking, especially in NYC. A city where we regularly see Anderson Cooper out and about and don’t bat an eye.

The only reason to have a $10,000/day detail is to be noticed.
