This Is Good, But ICE Will Ignore It….

HUGE VICTORY: A judge just ruled EVERYONE picked up by ICE is entitled to a bond hearing in front of a judge – no more disappearing people into indefinite detention, for no reason. 👏 GOOD.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.

They are lawless bestial scum.

A DOD "Memo" saying no prosecution will happen isn't going to save you from life in a military prison for murdering civilian fisherman. Taking orders from a Fox News host who ordered you to do it isn't going to look real good to a jury.

We’ve got outcomes that forest campaigners have fought for across decades.

The X platform now has a new tool that promotes scrutiny about the origin of X accounts.

I've noticed lately that more trolls are invading Bsky. This same feature that X has so members can check an account's country of origin would be super helpful to weed out the bad guys from causing harm here.

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.

Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman.

This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces.

BBC Now Calling Trans Women 'Biological Males Who Identify As Women'
These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.
