I'm old enough to remember when the networks refused to carry an incredibly important speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia by President Biden about creeping fascism in the U.S. because it was "too political".

Sure, but they'll broadcast every minute of Trump's propaganda bullshit. 🙄

I believe this means banks are borrowing a lot from the Fed to cover a lot of losses on bad deals, investments or whatever.

Since Bondi is "in charge" of all of this, between the Alina Habba and Lindsey Halligan fiascos, and the millions spent going after Comey and James, while clients of her lawyer brother suddenly had their cases dropped:
Isn't it time for Bondi
to resign

Prosecutors have moved to dismiss charges against a woman accused of fraud who was being represented in court by the brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Mr. Trump masterfully blends smart investments with his governing policies - the New York Times, probably.

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

People ask what they can do in this moment: here's a crucially important election. There are 52,000 elections taking place next month, many of which will be determined by turnout.

A numerical study on the optimal placement of two air purifiers for simultaneous operation in a school classroom - International Journal of Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration
In educational environments such as school classrooms, indoor air quality has a significant impact on the health and learning ability of children and adolescents. This study investigates how to optimally place and operate two air purifiers in a national standard-size classroom to improve air quality uniformly and effectively. Ten cases were analyzed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, considering various placements and airflow directions of air purifiers. The air purification performance was evaluated by monitoring changes in the concentrations of major pollutants in the classroom, including PM2.5 and CO2, and the airflow distribution and average air age index were applied to evaluate the airflow circulation. The results showed that when the air purifiers were placed symmetrically to minimize mutual discharge airflow interference, pollutant removal and airflow uniformity were maximized. Case 3, where the air purifiers were placed at opposite corners of the classroom to circulate air throughout the classroom, showed the best performance. This study provides a systematic approach and analysis results to optimize indoor air quality in classrooms and contribute to student health and learning environments.

I think that people need to remember that there is nothing permanent except for death [and some people believe even that is not a permanent state]. Stop pretending that just because the fascist decree shit even if that shit is "law" that it's permanent. If we gain power, we can change everything.

Just a reminder that the Star Tribune was bought by the Minnesota Timberwolves' billionaire owner and former Republican state senator in 2014.

When billionaires own papers, it is not to improve the news product; it's for control purposes. When he bought the paper, he said he'd make it less liberal.
This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."
Suspect showed few signs of political extremism before lawmaker shootings
Friends and associates say Vance Boelter, who was apprehended late Sunday and charged with murdering a state lawmaker and her husband, was mild-mannered and did not appear to be fixated on politics.

One thing to note: when we left downtown around noon on the bus, we heard a message come over the speaker and our operator nearly refused to take us *away* from downtown. So disruptions were happening as early as then
Hearing from so many people, including people with their kids, who didn't feel safe after LAPD/LASD started attacking peaceful protesters — and then were unable to get home.

If you took transit to DTLA and got stranded I'd love to hear from you
30,000 people showed up across our city to exercise their constitutional right to peaceful protest today — that's powerful.
