They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.
It's not going to happen. www.europesays.com/us/183382/
They backed down, or the superintendent overruled it. Either way, the whole kerfuffle started because some conservative Jewish members of the board didnt want the teachers/students displaying pride flags. New policy forbids flags of any type except federal/state/local.
“Do not offer thoughts and prayers as you systemically enable such tragedies. Do not claim prayers are sufficient when children die as they pray. Do not pretend you do not understand.” — Lydia, 16, Minneapolis

Know your rights, Chicago. Ask for a warrant. Record the goons from a safe distance. We don’t want or need them here.
Watching a Waymo stuck in the middle of a block party, creating a surreal traffic jam because it can’t figure out how to briefly cross the yellow line to get past the crowd. Now the cops are here. They don’t understand the problem and are yelling at everyone but the car. The future is so stupid
Schumer tried to be snarky online without doing sh*t. Everyone saw it for the weak posturing it was, and nobody on the right gave a d*mn.
Sure, but he is pairing it with action. He got redistricting on the ballot here to fight the nonsense in Texas. When I saw the flurry of rightwing commentators hating on Newsome and saying Dems should be above that, I saw he was on to something.
On a personal level, I've already made this transition. When I look for leadership, I immediately look to see what Pritzker, Walz, Beshear, Wu, Mamdani, etc., are saying before anyone in Congress. More Democrats should do the same until Schumer and Jeffries are gone.
God forbid we do anything that forces conservative Americans to do some self reflection or feel in any way uncomfortable about how their actions or beliefs have hurt people.
But Schumer's exercise bike time might get uncomfortable. Can't have that.
I see that he and Elon Musk are operating from the same CEO playbook.
these people are going to raise a generation of children who don't know a single goddamn thing and the consequences are going to be catastrophic for everyone
I wrote an op-ed on the world-class STEM research ecosystem in the United States, and how this ecosystem is now under attack on multiple fronts by the current administration: newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-an-awar...
This post framed it really well, I think: bsky.app/profile/rinc...
We've become so accustomed to lawbreaking that this probably won't ripple much, but it is important not to forget that firing the IRS Commissioner for refusing to break the law--if that's in fact what happened here--would and should prompt immediate articles of impeachment in any other presidency.
True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing. Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter. Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵 x.com/andrewcuomo/...
I love the notion that PhD level experts are easily tricked if questions get very specific. But also,his prompt doesn't sound too specific to me, nor do I see where it would have necessarily tricked a LLM into 'ignoring energy other than solar'. His request included longwave, which is not solar.
Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.
I disagree. I will tell you what's wrong with his jeans. 🧵
I feel like this is where Commissioner Gordon lights up the @dieworkwear.bsky.social signal
Yeah man, I'm aware. Not particularly relevant to the situation of needing to prepare for an incoming hurricane or other disaster, which is the context here.
If the point is to help people who don't know much about EVs make an educated choice about what's best for them, then at least acknowledge these different situations.
I had a 64 kWh BEV for a few years. After a normal commuting day I'd be ~25% and need 30+ hrs to fully charge. I notice these articles almost never acknowledge situations that aren't the ideal setup (e.g. ppl in condos and apts aren't likely to make use of V2L). Just preaching to the choir.
Also, a 70 kWh battery ( attempting to pick a roughly avg number) needs 50 hrs to go from 0-100% at 1.4 kW. I was not starting from 0.
to game it out, days before a major storm event you are likely driving around buying all the supplies you need, so yes, you are probably coming home with a low charge. if you live on L1, you generally aren't starting your day fully charged. I had a BEV for a few years. Speaking from experience.
Every photo on here of the Tesla Diner has the same vibes as that Willy Wonka pop-up from a few years ago
I know people who manage too. It personally isn't for me, but to each their own. But thanks for jumping in to explain basic concepts that aren't particularly relevant to the specific topic.
yeah man, I know all that. I was referring to this article about being prepared for a friggin hurricane where the guy is saying just plug in at home the day before and you'll be fine. Not so much if you can't plug in at home or it takes 40 hrs to fully charge.
I'm pro electric vs. gas, but as someone who doesn't have and cannot easily install a level 2 charger in my home, I find it grating that every single one of these proEV articles refuses to fathom the notion that some people don't have level 2 chargers in their homes.
“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell
Gave Ethan Peck (Spock in ST:Strange New Worlds) a tour of NASA-JPL because my neighbor, who I was giving the tour to and works on the show, invited him last minute. Seeing my fellow space-nerd colleagues' eyes light up when I brought literal Spock around for a visit was priceless.
President Trump repeatedly claims he's powerless to bring back the men wrongfully deported to an infamous prison in El Salvador. We just revealed documents in court showing that the El Salvador government agrees it's the Trump administration that bears responsibility for the fate of these men.
Imagine being part of a floundering political establishment at historic lows in favorability, seeing this guy's absolutely infectuous energy, and deciding to try to stop it through an array of embarrassing media appearances and editorial blunders.
When I was a kid, a white South African family with a daughter my age moved into our school district. I distinctly remember being in high school and her telling us classmates that she was filling out some form and was confused about whether or not she was African-American. None of us knew either.
Hot take: Not only are work requirements for Medicaid bad, tying health care to work at all is cruel and we should be doing it less not more. Everyone deserves health care. Everyone.
It’s wild that in the video DHS posted in an effort to make the beating of an innocent landscaper (with 3 marine sons) seem justified there’s a masked ice goon pointing a gun at a random car passing by and they don’t seem to think it matters at all
Mamdani should win but he's the latest example of the Democratic Party closing ranks to keep anyone young and exciting and full of energy out of the party - and then they spend countless millions on consultants trying to figure out why they're struggling with young voters
I don't want to add to the doxxing, but did they turn out to be California residents or were they from out of state?
The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.
Can anyone from #bugsky help me identify this fuzzy little friend found in Southern California?
Anyone is welcome to correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like one of those goons has a collapsible baton. I thought those are illegal in California. Can they be reported for that?
I don't know what the future holds, but I suspect some kind of shelf stable liquid energy carrier powering fuel cells, whether directly or indirectly, will play a role in propulsion for larger, energy hungry systems.
Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event
Is he trying to kill it?
“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.
If New Yorkers are wondering who will fight back against Federal overreach, we have visible evidence today that Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander are the candidates that you should rank 1 or 2 Lander literally resisted federal overreach and Mamdani showed up immediately to have his back Fuck Cuomo
Don't forget that conservatives would have been livid about it for ... reasons.
Anyone who has ever lived in LA county will not be surprised it was the sheriff's department that escalated
Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.
I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.
If that’s what they do to a US Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up. I will not stop fighting to demand accountability.
Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit
I'm old enough to remember when "your papers, please" was a euphemism for living in a dystopian fascist state and antithetical to American values. Maybe #boycott the @fifaclubworldcup.bsky.social .
WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...
Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.
Welp, there it is. RFK Jr. has removed all 17 members that comprise CDC’s vaccine advisory committee and will make new appointments. I said on PBS News Hour in February that this was a red line for me. www.hhs.gov/press-room/h...
SHIELD • YOUR • NEIGHBORS Here in #LosAngeles, we protect our neighbors at all costs.
Hey now, he is the Bay Area's asshole. LA has plenty of it's own garbage politicians.
Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.
He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky
You should check the stats on Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, and Roberto Carlos.
I assumed this was an anti-Noah Kahan post with the mention of Vermont.
I suspect someone may have already done this... I took the current NASA Earth fleet chart of operating and planned Earth observing missions and crossed out those recommended for cancellation in the President's budget request. It's disturbing.
If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.
What a telling exchange here. Scholar @kateshaw.bsky.social with the analytics and the scholarship just bursting a hole in these political theatrics. Watch the staffer's reaction.
Always cool to see new green technologies developing in aerospace and propulsion. news.mit.edu/2025/new-fue...
Trump just helped elect as President of Poland a Holocaust revisionist who courted Jew haters in his electoral coalition. Remember this next time Trump & his allies claim they’re attacking universities to protect Jews. They don’t care about Jews or antisemitism. They care about consolidating power.
My first reaction was, why specifically mention going out for BBQ and post a picture with no BBQ? What a weirdo.
Have Wine Moms been activated? Godspeed, Dr. Andrews!
This is super cool. Planned nonstop circumnavigation of the globe in a hydrogen fuel cell powered aircraft.
happy for Khalil of course but i must say, "lawful permanent resident not charged with any crimes, imprisoned by president's stormtroopers for having forbidden opinions about US-abetted genocide, briefly allowed to touch his child" is a hell of a thing to find oneself feeling joy and relief about
if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.
With everything else going on it's easy for things to slip out of your mind, but I do keep going back to this in disbelief that they are getting away with it.
My company contracts with UnitedHealth, and it bothers me so much that I have to use their services.
Someone in Bluesky HQ must be a fan. I don't know who you are. I don't follow you. You don't follow me. I've never seen AEW nor do I follow any pro wrestling, yet I keep seeing your posts on my 'discover' feed. Whatever it is, it's working for you.
I come from the aerospace world, where we understand there is a real difference between something that cannot be done, & something that is prohibitively difficult/ expensive at present. My impression is that issues with H2 are the latter, not the former. Any number of things could change its status.
In California, several public transit agencies have begun converting their bus fleets in part to hydrogen. Easier to scale when it's just single depot locations. Seems to be going well enough this far. We'll see how it goes.
Couldnt charge at home; didnt have the leisure time to hang out in parking lots for half an hour at a time or orient my errands around charging. Yes, scaling is a problem, but for a time a couple years ago, Mirai's were selling middle of the EV pack in local markets where infrastructure exists.
I've been driving FCEVs for 6yrs bc BEVs don't really work for my situation. It's worked well & I'm glad to have a zero emissions vehicle. Is the argument that I should be driving a gas car instead while I wait for promised improvements to BEV tech? Sounds like the H2 argument they complain about.
this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...
14 MILLION. That’s how many people Republicans admit their plan would rip healthcare away from. Share it. Shout it. Stop it.
I'm an engineer in this space, and I feel like, cool job security, but also, this is incredibly dumb and I don't want to be working on a new project just because our president is easily bribed and thinks 2 engines are better than one.
Neatly highlighting how completely unprofessional they are. In my decades in federal law enforcement, we never left a child unattended. We always had a plan for how to deal with children safely. ICE are *amateur* Gestapo.
Absolute insanity.
Not a single book, but I read Fahrenheit 451, 1984, Animal Farm, and Anthem in succession when I was starting middle school. Dystopian worldviews and preteen social angst do not mix well.
this guy is out here proudly being a eugenicist freak while people at mainstream and "respectable publications" make excuses for him or even muse about whether he has a "few good points"
A PLANE?!?! My dad turned down tickets to a BULLETS game when he was chief of staff of the senate foreign relations committee! And this guy accepts A PLANE?
I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.
Look there’s a lot of horrible things going on and it’s easy to get distracted but I don’t want anyone to forget that Stephen Miller went to Duke.
I have two in daycare now and it's more than my mortgage, and I live in Southern California where homes are absurdly overvalued.
Here in North America, there's only one manufacturer currently, NFI, and they report good sales and recently announced an expansion. Another, Gillig, has recently decided to join the market, so clearly, they see signs of growth. www.sustainable-bus.com/news/gillig-...
As far as quantities to sustain/ allow for growth: it's a small market. It doesn't take much to sustain/grow. & it's variable by Manufacturer. The ones I know of don't have dedicated lines for FCEBs, so they just need enough orders to keep costs down and maintain a healthy backlog.
On the other hand, I think the dividing line has more to do with whether or not an order is part of a permanent strategic vision to have FCEBs as part of the fleet. Ordering a handful for a tech demo: not significant. Ordering 20 or 30 to handle certain routes BEBs can't do: that's significant.
I'd say any numerical demarcation is both subjective and arbitrary. What attribute does a 110 unit order have to make it significant that a 90 unit or 50 unit order doesn't? 100 feels big? Your line is just vibes based.
