During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

Dems need to understand this.

Not a single criticism Republicans level at them is ever made in good faith.

Therefore it’s impossible to compromise, placate them, or gain their respect.

They hate you for existing & they’ll call you communist extremists regardless of how hard you reach out to them.

As somebody with asthma who uses inhalers - SHUT THE FUCK UP. THIS ARTICLE IS SHAMING PEOPLE WITH A CHRONIC CONDITION.

"Significantly" My ass. You know what else does? AI Data centers - corporations - cows - asphalt - THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THINGS THAT ARE NOT MEDICINE.

Inhalers contribute significantly to global warming, study finds

Millions of Americans using inhalers for chronic lung diseases like asthma may be unknowingly contributing to global warming, according to new research.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Battletech is still a major problematic fave, but *genuinely* has a lack of black character issue. I get it, it's hard to create a black nation or the idea of a black nation without black writers at the table. Maybe that's something worth thinking about.

POCGamer aka PanzerLion! @pocgamer.com · 7d

The setting of #Battletech is bizarrely hard to parse, and only because of it's sheer scale and the detail poured into it. In terms of mapped scale, only the Third Imperium in Traveller is on par or bigger. But the detailed breakdowns? For hundreds and hundreds of planets? It sets Batteltech...1/3

Payment for stabilizing emergency medical conditions in the emergency department is required by a federal law signed by Reagan, the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. That payment is not Medicaid funding. It is wholly separate from what Leavitt is babbling about, not in CR or OBBB.

Hegseth said yesterday he wants to ban any symbols of “superficial individual expression” by people serving in the military. Of course, he was probably talking about dangerous things like rainbows.

The president just told all of the military's leaders that all Democrats are evil and promised to send the full force of the military into Democratic cities to assault the "enemy within," and there's *still* a chance that Democratic congressmen provide the crucial votes to keep this regime running.

This is essential for folks to understand. The Japanese government has spent a century denigrating the Ryukyuan languages, labeling them as mere dialects.

But the Ryukyuan languages were our native tongues for over a thousand years before the Japanese government colonized our islands.
