our bluesky safety manager replied with this to a woman venting after ICE kidnapped her husband, and then banned her.

How do we trust this person to have the empathy needed to be in charge of safety on this website? what the fuck?

if we spam the feedback, it might get somewhere

Meanwhile some of the most interesting organic radical action on the ground is coming from rural communities protesting data centers. Somehow that doesn’t excite a lot of people who preach about radial action.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Every time he puts his fingers on the keys or opens his mouth he shows how much he supports the rot we’re in currently.
Gov. Polis tweets favorably about a writer (Hanania) who spent the earlier part of the century writing for white supremacist websites and more recently contributed to Project 2025 and, separately, called for “more policing, incarceration, and surveillance of black people.”

Turning RTD into a make-work program for police who cannot and will not solve homelessness or drug addiction is part of the death spiral of ridership. Pretending to solve problems costs money! If RTD spent more money on fast and frequent reliable service they’d maybe stop hemorrhaging riders.

People talk about "over-regulation" without realizing that regulations exist all too frequently because someone (again, all too frequently a child) died because of this thing you think is SO BURDENSOME.
People don’t understand that stripping the guardrails of regulation and oversight doesn’t just apply to like better business bureau type shit but also like on a practical level when I get into an elevator I expect that it has passed a safety inspection & that type of security will be gone soon

Of babies infected w/Hepatitis B, 90% develop chronic infection.

Of those, 1 in 4 will DIE.

They lose the ability to get rid of toxins & make important proteins. Their skin yellows, their abdomen swells, they’re uncomfortable. A fate no one deserves.

One we can avoid w/ vaccination.

Great reporting and a knockout final line:

“Not long after, as the sun was going down, an SUV with tinted windows and an out-of-state license plate was seen barreling down a nearby street. It was followed closely by three cars, with drivers laying on their horns and whistling.”

This is the third newsroom (at least) with an FBI leak about the suspect being a Trump supporter. Seems some FBI folks — presumably not the political hires —are very eager to get this out there.
BREAKING on MS NOW:
 
Brian Cole Jr., the suspect accused of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber, confessed to agents that he planted the bombs and has indicated he supported President Trump, according to two people familiar with his interview.
