(we have been saying stop bringing your phones to protests since 2014)
New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant

this is big, and it’s wild that it needed to be crystallized into law. the 2022 anti-homeless craze that afflicted blue state govs and mayors was (and is) so callous and murderous.
A small victory for people and direct services organizations who help their unhoused neighbors in California: As of January 1, it should (theoretically!) be illegal to punish people for offering outreach and support.
Cities can’t punish outreach workers for helping homeless Californians under new law
A new California law going into effect Jan. 1, 2026 prevents cities from penalizing outreach workers who provide services at homeless encampments.

If Disney was going to do a movie centered on the villain of a beloved Disney franchise... it should have been Ursula.

Nobody gives a fuck about Gaston.

the thing about getting told to read edgy white cartoonists is that they're the only people who think racism is 'edgy'. everyone else recognizes racist as the default state of whiteness, and thus the most boring and predictable thing you can be as a white person

It's an actual game plan on the right. They use it for book bans as well. They start with something easy: no porn in libraries. That hooks in the low information folks. Then you slowly broaden the scope until you're yanking any YA that violates Christian nationalism.
one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it
Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc...

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.
