RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

Whenever anyone says how much of the U.S. economy is tied to AI right now, I'm like...damn, what if a single rich person had any idea other than "try to zero out labor costs through theft."

Kristi Noem is cosplaying as a public official. In reality, she's been sent by Trump to incite violence. Don't tar and feather her as Speaker Johnson suggested for Governor Newsom. The best response to her playacting as cop? Ignore her and keep supporting our community.

related, when the president is invading our own country, waging war on our own people, i don't wanna see dems give the GOP shit they ask for, don't wanna hear shit bout 'we hope our friends across the aisle will work with us on bipartisan solutions to the problems they cause' i don't want none of it

Grudgie the Whale @grudgie.bsky.social · 4d

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

Seth Cotlar @sethcotlar.bsky.social · 4d

Guys. I just had a crazy idea. What if the President DIDN’T deploy troops in American cities. Just a thought. Have we tried that before?

Trump is looking for any reason to deploy the military to US cities

He wants to go to war with the people

Many of his supporters are fine with it because they’re certain he will only go after people who don’t look like them

That’s not how fascism works

No one is safe until everyone is safe

This victory supports what Oregonians already know: we don’t need or want Donald Trump to provoke violence by deploying federal troops in our state. I’ll keep working to stop Trump from fulfilling his perverse fantasy of making Portland the center of his assault on U.S. cities.

The Oregonian @oregonian.com · 5d

A judge on Saturday ordered the Trump administration to halt its mobilization of 200 Oregon National Guard troops to protect the ICE building in Portland and its officers amid nightly protests.

Rep. Dean is correct—Trump is unwell.

Scarier is that America isn't being run by Trump, but Stephen Miller.

Miller is so much crazier that it's the difference between a rabid homicidal skunk with a swastika tattoo and a kitten that vomits and bites when petted.

Miller directs the DHS/DOJ agendas.

This is amazing: @ladwp.com, the Los Angeles utility, has launched a program that will install solar+battery systems on qualifying low-to-moderate-income households, *for free*.

Yes: free.

If you know someone eligible, tell them to apply!

Self-Generation Incentive Program

The Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) helps qualified LADWP residential customers install solar and battery storage systems by providing financial incentives. This program supports clean energy...

Robust funding for public radio means that we get critical reporting like this from local stations, which is certainly one reason why the government is defunding public radio.

Here's what a government shutdown could affect around the country

A federal shutdown will impact people across the United States. NPR's network of member stations explains how these effects will be felt nationwide.

Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

As a reward please enjoy this photo of a northern flicker that was attracted by my spicy seed mix and decided to peck at the balcony columns.

This is the moment I learned they are woodpeckers

Pic of a table on a balcony with plants one of which has a pride flag. In background are the balcony railings and roof support (table is placed in corner where the railings meet). A northern flicker is just visible to the side of the columms supporting the roof. A bird feeder with seed hangs above the railing. Beyond is a ponderosa pine
