I would love to see "revision" numbers posted as well; we should expect important data to **at least be on-par** with federal government charting strategies...
An interesting projects attempt (necessarily repeated) on an alternative visualization of the data: www.genevaenvironmentnetwork.org/resources/up... It would be nice to more clearly link to the biocapacity vs consumption allotment source data, but the breadcrumbs are there if you dig around.
Spirit when?
Congrats to Congress for lifting the debt ceiling by five trillion dollars.

Link to house vote on ammendment please?!
Well that didn't work very well - every Democrat I know in a Republican House district stated "they don't have a say so they don't follow politics." Democracy dies in parallel with "we the people".
Even Indi sees the harsh reality that his character must work until 80 just to cover the fallout of retirement. Sad
If you’re a politician and you’re feeling a lot of pressure at your job - good. You really fucked things up. Like the whole world basically. So… good. Fuck you 🤷

This is how you throw your weight around. Pay attention, Dems.
This is David Valadao (R-CA). If he votes for this bill, 65,140 of his constituents would lose access to their healthcare. 60,580 of his constituents could lose access to their food assistance. 3,612 energy jobs in his district could be lost.
This is Young Kim (R-CA). If she votes for this bill, 31,315 of her constituents would lose access to their healthcare. 14,993 of her constituents could lose access to their food assistance.
This is Ken Calvert (R-CA). If he votes for this bill, 39,687 of his constituents would lose access to their healthcare. 30,709 of his constituents could lose access to their food assistance. 271 energy jobs in his district could be lost.
This is Gave Evans (R-CO). If he votes for this bill, 29,276 of his constituents would lose access to their healthcare. 29,494 of his constituents could lose access to their food assistance. 886 energy jobs in his district could be lost.
Win32 APIs are why I have to go to therapy.
Education: - This is the ADP payment services report. - ADP data is modeled off all the companies they do payroll for. - While large, ADP payroll is only 5% coverage Tomorrow's govt report will likely be higher, but I wouldnt expect anywhere close to +100k with ADP at -33k...
I know it seems inevitable, but KEEP CALLING YOUR REPRESENTATIVE UNTIL THE BITTER END. 5calls.org/issue/hr1-on...

That's it for tonight...I'll post updated versions for the remaining 34 CA districts tomorrow & potentially CO & CT. Again, prior versions are available at the link for *every* House district, those are just slightly outdated & don't highlight the at-risk categories. acasignups.net/piecharts
CBS announces it settlement with Trump at 4:15pm on Thursday, right? They try to bury it into the July 4 weekend. My prediction is $27.5m and a weasely worded apology.

Intentionally conflating ICE with Police is a major red flag. They have different directives and legal authorities and the bobbleheads are WELL aware of when they swap one Titleship for the other.
If you got in an accident today at 12:15 on the 8 east, I have dash cam footage for you. Around 12:15 today a grey Tacoma and a blue Subaru Crosstrek collided pushed them into the guard rail. If this was you or know who it was let me know. #sandiego
NPR is reporting that DOGE (illegally) built a database using all of our government info to tell if you are a citizen or not once you punch a name into the system. It's a black box as to how it decides this.
And it will be about "giving your tax money to criminals", rather than retaining health care coverage for a large percentage of citizens, so to prevent the collapse of public hospital service.
Exactly this - and the opposition will pose it as an attempt to give your tax money to illegals as opposed to retaining health insurance coverage for a majority of **qualifying** Americans.
Lisa Murkowski and John Thune deserve this. Trying to exempt Alaska from odious parts of this bill to buy her vote is overruled by parliamentarian. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...
Anecdotally, this is backed largely in part by gross overconfidence of individuals using AI who believe they would be able to capture these failures during usage. @neildegrassetyson.com video on eyewitness testimony comes to mind here.
Eventually someone will sue the US Department of Education on the grounds that: “My religious beliefs require me to perform non-harmful anti-nationalism displays (like shredding the US flag every morning), and I’m being harmed because the school won’t let me do it during morning announcements.”
Is it broad enough one could sue that “My religious beliefs require me to perform non-harmful anti-nationalism displays (like shredding the US flag every morning), and I’m being harmed because the school won’t let me do it during morning announcements.”
*Creationism has entered the chat* No more Science for me, thanks.
Right?! Are these the same ones we (didn't) injected ourselves with for c19, or some other nanobots that somehow get lumped into a magical category of "good bots to have in your body". 🙄 Tech jargon used to be strategically pointed at some point.

So, so much this.
While also silently positioning even further into far eastern Russia (and I suspect, posturing heavily at overtaking Taiwan, if for nothing less than to screw with US Intelligence services)!
Water. Don't forget water. We all need water to survive. When private conglomerates buy land including its water sources, it will be resold. Yes, it is straight out of a Bond movie. But it is the game - whether we see it or not.
It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this
What happens to your PASSIVE national power if, for example, you drop your deep bunker buster and it becomes globally demonstrated that it CAN'T destroy the underground facility... Then what?
The 88ft flagpole sentence is easily missed - but also has horrifying implications if you were of the mind it suplements as an avenue to dogwhistle in a less publicly scrutinizable, and more symbolic, manner.
It's a bit odd that a health inspector can show up and shut down your business faster, and with less effort, than elected members of Congress can check if their constituents are being detained humanely in a detention center that is publicly (or, increasingly, privately) owned.
They are writing "Guidance" because they expect you to not realize that their statement in NOT law: Sec 527 (d) allows the DHS to ask for a 24h notice maximum. The only way to change this is through Congress.
Hours after @pbump.com posted this today, ICE updated its figure to 500%.
Any and all avenues for defunding are fair game. Not even "defunding" but wasteful spending...I'm curious how long before we see an argument that Title 10 activation is "for the state" so the fed no longer pays for the Nat Guard - then they can bleed more $ from blue states after 9th circ ruling
Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?
I'm curious how long before we see an argument that, "because the Governor was being absent in duty resulted in Title 10 activation, that means that the Nat Guard no longer is responsible for $funding per Title 10"...that way they can continue to bleed more $$ from blue states?!

To clarify funding arguments: tldr is that - Title 10 activation = funding via whoever activated the Nat Guard, generally. - Title 32 activation = usually some hybrid with fed funding, but state support (see, Covid).
The actual basis of the argument against the ruling is horrifying in principle - that there is NO condition in which a president can be REVIEWED in the activation and control of a states' National Guardsmen.
Lots of posts for media articles which don't actually link to the case files on this 9th circuit appeal over National Guard. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Take some time and READ some of the controversial Sections of the GENIUS Act. The Bill is up for a vote today in the Senate, which would make it law. Make a 1 minute call. You're voice has value unless you keep silent.
Thanks, @mikebentley.bsky.social for your contributions to science!
Yes! The work continues! There are dangerous bills still making their way through the Senate, like HR 1 the big bullshit budget bill, and now also HR 4 Trump's budget rescissions package that cuts funding for NPR, PBS and foreign aid. Hit the phones! 👉🏽 5calls.org
Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.
An hour before Israel unleashed its firepower on Iran, the US ambassador in Jerusalem, Mike Huckabee, sent out a rather revealing X post: “At our embassy in Jerusalem and closely monitoring the situation. We will remain here all night. ’Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!’” Thx for the free $$$, Huck.
Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

I do understand - posting rhetorically for the sake of highlighting disparities. I was hoping for more details on your proposal :) Side note: I believe it IS "our loss", and that word-fight is imperative.
I will provide an update on last night’s targeted shootings shortly: youtube.com/live/VHtHNAb...
Simply being in a crowd, sized beyond the scope of individuality, is liberating when you feel you either can't afford to scream or it would be meaningless to do so. Get out. Scream. Feel tension release.
NEW: As a result of my story, a lawyer from the lawsuit—the settlement of which resulted in the now-rescinded ICE warrantless arrest accountability policy—has filed notice for judge to urgently “resolve the pending motions regarding enforcement and extension of the consent decree.”

Wasn't that what J6 roundup was?That work out splendidly.
That's a good repost - thanks!

I also noticed different shades of shoe - brown vs desert. Anything to be gleaned from that? I noticed only a few desert shoes...and that they seemed to be the ones *actually* detaining persons.
Informative. Probably important for people to be able to identify and differentiate them to make better informed decisions. The "shoe wear" comment below was another good catch - sneakers or cheap plastic style boot bottoms are a solid giveaway for who is playing dressup or not.
How so? I know people on the Reserved were called in to serve... not the type to participate (also don't know if they are being used to replace others functions). Also not sure if better to have mixed bag on site - to display some hesitancy - as an "insider" for those without courage to speak up?
Senate begins it's push through of the crypto Genius Act today. REALLY should leave a voicemail or email to our state Senators...
Issue speculative crypto ➜ Give it seniority in bankruptcy ➜ Use it as leverage ➜ Profit from inflated lending ➜ Collapse ➜ Dump losses on depositors Seems rather familiar to 2008.
Digging deeper: - imagine that the same bank was using Crypto as leverage to back corporate loans - Corp's get loans backed by speculative stablecoin (ref; TerraUSD collapse in 2022) - If the loan fails, or token value crashes, risk is passed to depositors — who are now bailouts to crypto investors
One example it would allow: - Banks are already issuing crypto as an investment. - Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors In other words, your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund
Well... there goes right to Posse Comitatus Act ( www.courthousenews.com/posse-comita... ): youtu.be/d-5ey0KwYkU
Republicans are jamming through the GENIUS Act which will turbocharge Donald Trump’s crypto corruption. We need an amendment vote to stop the President, Vice President, and senior government officials from directly or indirectly profiting from a stablecoin venture.
Leader Thune is blocking critical amendments that would fix the GENIUS Act – including stopping Donald Trump from lining his pockets with shady crypto deals. Democrats have the power to push for fixes to this bill. We should use it.

Californians attending peaceful protest outside of LA should expect to be met with force, given the numbers and length of deployment for military troops in this statement.
I live in LA. And while the dictatorship is telling its propaganda channel that there are looters and riots (lolololol) the protests remain peaceful except for when the cops shoot reporters.
But will it matter? youtube.com/shorts/fK-Gc...
Good time for people to go rewatch those HongKong videos and learn about effective gear.
HIGHLY recommend a construction hardhat for incidental accidents (projectiles, falling, etc) - especially if older or less stable footing. Bring a sign with doubled up cardboard or card stock... makes a better shield for LRAD. Hong Kong had a lot to teach people since the Nat Guard tech is same.
