States have a lot of power to dictate health policy for their residents. The New Mexico Department of Health has issued a public health order to help ensure all New Mexicans can access the COVID-19 vaccine. I hope other states follow suit. www.nmhealth.org/news/vaccine...
Hahahahahahaah! Making little city proud!

Ok I read it and she repeats something I think as well “Dependence, weakness, need of others: These are features, not bugs, of the human experience.” but think is *completely inconsistent* with voting R in NC at present. GRRRR.
With the caveat that I have not read this article (because): no idea who these are for! After I read them, I waste time feeling guilty because I’m so unsympathetic to and irritated by the the subject-as-voter.
OUTRAGEOUS: Under Trump’s ICE, Maine police officer John Luke Evans, fully authorized to work in the U.S. was arrested and forced out of the country. Federal agents knew he was legal. This isn’t about “illegal immigration.” This is about targeting anyone they want, no matter the law.
Yes! It’s most unlawyerly.
Not much of a writer. Thinks he is though. That first sentence is hilarious.
Ridiculous that we have to keep repeating this in 2025, but: ✅ Vaccines save lives ✅ Flouride prevents cavities ✅ Sunscreen prevents skin cancer
I generally don’t have that reaction but this is just so frightening. I do think you’re right but just in this moment (5 minutes max, I’m an Aries), I’ll fret.
The messaging is scary though! For the first time I feel like posting “vote out any D who doesn’t automatically repudiate this!” It’s awful.
Fuck right off with this. Today you need to lead with voting rights rhetoric.
It’s the signaling that’s important, though.
This
Yes! It’s a pointless affectation! Yes!
In the performative deportations system, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important groups. The DHS civilians, who are total losers, and the National Guard, who don’t wanna be there. These are their stories.

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second
Whaaaat? Everything is terrible.
I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.
I think about this (weird juxtaposition) all the time.
You only kill journalists when you want to hide what you're doing.
So much of my work involves assumptions about or interpretations of administrative law, the rot at the top absolutely filters down. (Sorry, guess this was all over the place, but YES)
Yes! I think about law students every day: I’m as far removed from appellate courts or the academy as a practicing attorney can be, but when I see the news, I wonder how a professor can earnestly teach to a con law or civil pro (1L) textbook right now, not to mention admin law (2L for me but req’d)

Anyone else from New England having recollections of learning about then-repellent anadama bread in like 2nd grade? (Sounds pretty good to me as a middle aged person).
I love these ridiculous boys. Chicory & Satsuma are both looking for a home and they would sure love to go together. They’re a perfect pair and they have formed a great connection.
(Deleted earlier post b/c it had my full name in it!) Anyway, livid, livid! Good on you for using a physical thesaurus - or trying to!
Yes. I moved states and my new state doesn’t have a record of my boosters so I’m proactively getting ALL of them. (To be clear, it’s been > 5yrs for all.)
This is a demand for unconstitutional, arbitrary power. There is no offense against the United States here. The FBI has no role to assist the State of Texas in becoming an authoritarian enclave. F.B.I. Is Asked to Arrest Texas Democrats in Battle Over House Seats www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/u...

Given the acute and long term impacts of Bollea v Gawker it’s hard to see you - a media org - using Hulk Hogan’s memory to get eyes and ears on NPR.
Why read books? Because books are still the most powerful, reliable, transportive & magical storytelling technology we've invented - and all they need to work is YOUR OWN IMAGINATION! #booksky (Cartoon by @mariascrivan.bsky.social)
In my own experience, we’re forgetting the value of leadership from within or behind the troops as well as in front. Similarly, in my corner it seems like people are increasingly unwilling to take responsibility without an assurance of good PR (and not even then). Stupid attention economy.
This is how good rules get written and good business gets done.
A truly baffling decision by a Biden-appointed Fed governor to step down several months early, handing Trump another seat on the Fed at a time he's attacking its independence. And announcing it today of all days, after he's removed the BLS commissioner. SMH.
As a Jew, I am SO ANGRY that the feds are pretending they care about me, as a pretense to extort universities.
These ridiculously oversized single occupancy pickup trucks should be heavily taxed due to their danger to society, degradation of the road surfaces, and destruction of our livable planet. They are unnecessary and rarely tow, haul, or go off-road. #Trucks #PickupTruck
Responsibility for this lies with Jacky Rosen, Catherine Cortez Masto, Joe Manchin, and all the other cowards who bought into Republicans’ bogus attacks on Adeel Mangi (and with Chuck Schumer for not even trying a vote last December).
There is scientific research that shows this. The protective cage causes people driving in a car to subconsciously dehumanize people outside the car. Other drivers, cyclists, pedestrians become objects to the driver. And all facets of history show what happens when you dehumanize other people
It's not just that it's hard to be kind in a car; it's very easy to be mean. You are literally in a steel box isolated from other human beings. You can't hear them. Sometimes you can't see them as you whiz by. The nature of a car strips away the humanity of those outside the steel box.
I like even more a middle class that's spending its money on little urban luxuries rather than gasoline and bigger lawns
The absence of a coffee table (for eating dinner!) is really stressing me out.
These trade deals are all underwhelming for one simple reason: While trade barriers were a big deal in Trump's youth, they've been tiny for decades. When tariffs are 1-2%, there's not much to gain from a trade war. But you can do a lot of harm by charging Americans a 15% (or higher) import tax.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: projects.propublica.org/impact-of-ho...
🚨 This woman tries to call the family of the man being disappeared and ICE will not allow her to get a phone number. One of the “undercover” mobsters nearly backed into her.
As you’re pointing out, seems to be a contradiction in terms between just deserts and ‘business perspective.’
I can’t get past “the activist slogan ‘until all of us are free.’”
this is an explicitly white nationalist administration in a way that even woodrow wilson shied away from www.reuters.com/world/africa...

The systemic wage abuse of care workers is so infuriating. Care workers make it possible for us to live in our communities. For family to have support so they're not on their own. For people to be safe. They should be making so much more and getting much more robust labor protections overall.
Exactly.
“A source that cannot be verified or remain consistent is useless.” Shout this sentence from on high.
I just enjoy the tweet signed like a technologically backwards person’s text. Not the person to hire for crisis communications.
Um yeah. That’s horrifying for some of us.
As a middle aged/“old” woman attorney, I have to ask what about this would be indecipherable for a reasonable officer? Especially when it’s repeated before and after Miranda?
Also @jamieloftus.bsky.social, as a long time Sarasota denizen, lots of thoughts on 3 officers in the theater and what Paul was probably doing there.
Eerie and alarming to read about the settlement and cancellation at the same time as I learn from @jamieloftus.bsky.social and @yourewrongabout.bsky.social that CBS - his network - lead the way in smearing Pee Wee Herman after his 1991 arrest. This does not seem like a democracy-loving media outlet.
O Anna I needed to chuckle! Thank you.

I think people aren't describing the Emil Bove corruption adequately. He blew off an order from a judge SO THAT he could send hundreds of mostly innocent men to a concentration camp, based on false claims of gang ties.
Colbert will be all right, maybe even better off. The world's his oyster and I'm sure MSNBC and Netflix will come calling. He could stand up the biggest late night YouTube channel in days. But they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that fucking sucks.
What about diaper road-trip lady? I guess she was an astronaut, tho.
