Catching a Republican in a logical contradiction is so pointless. It's like showing a cat incontrovertible evidence that they have been fed already. They don't care. It didn't even register to them that you were speaking.

“it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.”

Rep. Rashida Tlaib: “There is so much anti-Palestinian racism in this chamber that my colleagues don’t even want to acknowledge that Palestinians exist at all—not when they’re alive, and now, not even when they’re dead.”

In the US, counting the dead in Gaza has become a gruesome political gamewww.motherjones.com The House passed a ban on citing the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty counts, saying the numbers are pro-Hamas “propaganda.” But researchers say the Ministry is not even counting all deaths.

If the CO2 concentrations trend continues on this trajectory, nothing else will matter really. As @amywestervelt.bsky.social put it a little earlier today: “Molecules in the atmosphere is the only thing that actually matters.” Indeed. Everything else is quite literally just blah blah blah.

July 2020: to preempt a campaign to close the final 5 state youth prisons, the IL gov's office announced a 4-year plan for transformation, intended to close (or IDOC transfer) at least the 3 largest. July 2024: None are closed. Issued a press release about hiring for a new, 6th youth prison.

Fun fact: Both Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott have signed laws forbidding municipalities in their states from requiring companies to give heat/water breaks to people who have to work outside. Other fun fact: Today it will be 95 in St. Petersburg and 106 in Presidio, TX.

Service sector workers in Atlanta, Charleston, and Durham will rally today to demand relief from excessive heat at work

NY dems still undefeated in manufacturing systemic public loathing for NY dems

Studies repeatedly show that congestion pricing's popularity is lowest *right before it gets implemented,* recovering and quickly becoming popular once citizens start to see the benefits of it, so of course NY Dems are committed to staying in that "almost implemented" period as long as possible

Seeing a lot of "this story is depressing not inspiring!" And yeah. Here's an actually inspiring story you may not know about: school lunch (and breakfast!) in Massachusetts is free for all students starting in 23-24 thanks to Democrats using money from the voter-passed millionaire's tax to fund it

A fifth grader has paid off the entire meal debt, and then some, for his elementary school. In a video shared to his mom’s Facebook, Daken Kramer had challenged “friends, family and local businesses to donate what they can to this cause.” He wound up turning in a check for more than $7,300.

The abuse of public records to attack researchers, a thread: On Tuesday morning of this week (May 21), Matt Taibbi began to send me a series of messages requesting my response to a series of leading questions about public records that he planned to publish as part of an upcoming series of articles.

It's so appalling that this story about the rabbi smuggling Torah scrolls out of the synagogue while a single US combat veteran sympathetic to Antifa held off the Nazis didn't get wider press. It enrages me every time a Jew justifying police violence on campus hasn't heard this story.

For me, UVA is the big one. The school was unwilling to use violence on the tiki torch Nazis, even after they surrounded a synagogue and the rabbi was forced to smuggle the Torah scrolls out before Shabbes, and were only fended off by a lone armed veteran from Antifa. But Gaza protestors? Violence.

The IOF's drone technology is exported to autocrats globally. Morocco's king has partnered with Israel to use it on Moroccan dissents, & all over the United States police departments partner with Israel to oppress dissent, particularly Black dissent, similarly.

IOF terrorists continue to use drones to attack Palestinian journalists in the western areas of Rafah City. t.me/QudsNen/106364
