what fucking lines
The nation’s largest police fleet of Tesla Cybertrucks is set to begin patrolling the streets of Las Vegas in November thanks to a donation from a U.S. tech billionaire, raising concerns about the blurring of lines between public and private interests.

"Their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."

The effects are only permanent on trans youth apparently.
Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

This is meant to stop stores from charging more not less. This is such a perversion of what this rule is meant to do.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
Because they claim to be "professional" yet the athletes will require a separate, full time job to be able to afford to play.

In February, @subpop.bsky.social came to me with an idea that I found hard to resist: @clppng.bsky.social wanted to play the Tiny Desk, like, ON the actual desk... with MIDI-controlled robots striking coffee mugs and shaking paper clips.

It's finally here.

Why do fascists love to cosplay so much?
Moving in convoy + permitting a media tail and I couldn't discern a cause for this stop other than people were out front working. I didn't see anyone obviously from ICE but will check video again in a bit. 7400 N Oconto. After a couple minutes whistles (in Edison Park.)

1. A comms guy threatening reporters by siccing the White House on them.
2. The wife of a WH official threatening a pundit's citizenship.
3. A drunk ICE agent saying he'll check an arresting officer's status.

These are all the same thing.

not sure if it’s obvious by now but i’ve got orders to monitor ICE activity and, as usual, i’d appreciate any help bsky has to offer. if you gotta tip, my signal account is in my bio.

i’m very mechanical. i can track things. data. paperwork. but i could always use help w/ people.
NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

We're now on ten years of Trump / GOP having no healthcare plan whatsoever. Not even a suggestion of what direction they want to go with it except repealing some overwhelmingly popular elements of Obamacare.

Worth remembering when pundits talk about the importance of nuanced policy messaging.
Trump trashes Obamacare in a new post. Funding under this law is the main dispute between the two parties in the ongoing government shutdown standoff.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.
FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

Republicans want the people they are elected to serve to starve, and they can't even be bothered to give an excuse for it that doesn't make it sound like their brains have melted.

"sophisticated financial engineering" oh that's not good
Rolling Stone woke up and chose violence today.
#WPBL should be embarrassed admitting this.
the WPBL's PR director told me that players will be making $300-500/game, along with "daily food stipend, accommodations for whole season even on non-game days, and players will receive a percentage of league sponsorship revenue."

there has been no number of games announced for the 2026 season.
the Women's Pro Baseball League confirmed to me their "salary budget" of $95k per team for a roster of 15 players for the whole season.

roughly, if split evenly, that comes out to $6,300/player per season.
What's wrong with the Black Panthers? I'll hang up and listen.

The Democratic Party would do well to look to the social programs of the Black Panther Party as inspiration if SNAP disappears on Saturday. Just running party-sponsored food drives and regular party-sponsored spaghetti dinners in some major cities would be both helpful and good PR.

Just want to reiterate that there’s no reason for this. There is no increase in crime. There are no riots. There’s no insurrection. They’re doing this without provocation. At least until they create one.
“.. A top US military official has ordered the national guards of all 50 US states .. to form ‘quick reaction forces’ trained in ‘riot control’, including use of batons, body shields, Tasers and pepper spray, according to an internal Pentagon directive ..”
