The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social

"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”
Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning

I am grateful to @msrachelforlittles.bsky.social for trusting me with her story at this moment of consequence, as she advocates for the children of Gaza and follows in the footsteps of her own childhood hero, Mister Rogers.

Sharing with a gift link:

Ms. Rachel grew up on Mister Rogers. Now she’s carrying on his legacy.
The YouTube star wants her audiences — adults and children alike — to see the humanity of all people.

The Roadless Rule protects public lands from large-scale mining, drilling, logging, and it protects access to outdoor recreation.

Roadless areas also fight climate change. For example, old-growth in the Tongass National Forest store about 12% of all the carbon captured in forests across the U.S.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

DHS and ICE tend to stay at mid-tier brands of national hotel chains with federal GSA per diem rates.

Mid-tier hotels operated by Marriott, IHG, Hilton, and Choice (e.g. Hampton Inn, SpringHill, Staybridge, Doubletree, Embassy, etc).

They try to stay within a half mile of a major freeway onramp.
PD, Sheriff and, evidently, feds love Hilton Garden Inn’s. They’re one step above a Holiday inn express/suites but are usually cheaper. We’ve noticed that the last 3 times we’ve stayed at the HGI Oxnard, there have been officers from San Diego to NorCal. Parking lot full and whole floors taken

Everyone saw Grand Park's hot pink benches being stacked into a barricade on Sunday. What an exceptional statement from RIOS, the benches' designers instagram.com/rios.imagines
