Meanwhile, in our communities....
Wapo article does a good job covering two realities: How deeply watching a parents‘ immigration arrest affects kids, and how DC residents are organizing “walking buses” and neighborhood lookouts to help kids with immigrant parents get safely to school. wapo.st/3VNYZ08
They watched ICE detain their dad. Now D.C. neighbors escort them to school.
Immigrant neighborhoods across the District have organized “walking school buses” to shuttle kids to classes during President Donald Trump’s federalization of D.C. police.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.
It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

Defeat fascist twerps and their preferred candidates in the voting booth, not through political violence.

It’s all people need to say.
I don’t need to be told not to celebrate violence or speak ill of the dead but all this hagiography of Kirk is just absurd. He was a vicious, bigoted troll who devoted his life to making things as shitty as possible for anyone who wasn’t like him. He made the discourse worse in every possible way.
Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way

Police brutality is bad; systematic racial profiling and illegal deportations are bad; abortion clinic bombings are bad; mass graves are worse. You know what a child's skull looks like after multiple blunt-force traumas? That's the floor. Keeping everyone out of mass graves is the fundamental goal.

The big reason I'm trying to hammer "civil conflict/political violence" here is because I've spent a substantial chunk of the last five years looking at mass graves. I want a society where people aren't plotting to kill their neighbors and throw them into one. That's where all this can lead.

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some
prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.

Any reporting about right-wing influencers reacting to the Charlie Kirk
shooting with “we’re under attack, They won’t stop, this means war” should include other times they said something similar. Any violence, protests, verbal criticism, an interracial couple, you name it. They talk like that a lot.

Trump and Republicans are blaming the Left.

Again, Kirk's shooter has not been found and we don't know the motive and ideology.

It's almost as if they want to provoke violence so they can unleash the military and national guard on blue cities.

Oh wait...

I really like Secretary Dizon, and think he will do amazing in the Public Works Department, but the next Transport Secretary has some big shoes to fill (and I worry we may return to some car-centric policy)

Dizon’s transit-centered agenda is still incomplete and moving him out is bad timing

Considering the current composition of the Philippine Congress, investigative inquiries/hearings by the House of Representatives and the Senate would, for the the most part, just be shows of grandstanding and theatrics. Credibility: questionable.
Many members of Congress are allegedly involved in corruption-ridden flood control projects. That's why sang-ayon ako sa mungkahi na dapat isang third-party, independent commission ang mag-imbestiga sa mga proyektong 'yan.

MANILA, Philippines —The Commission on Audit (COA) has mobilized its auditors to conduct a comprehensive performance review of the government’s flood control initiatives, a direct response to the recent catastrophic flooding that submerged large parts of Metro Manila and surrounding regions.

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media.

Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are.

Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

And it WILL mutate. It’s a scientific certainty. It’s just a matter of time.

They should’ve culled every fucking one of them cows. And I knew when they didn’t kill everything moving during the tracebacks and shelve all raw milk nationwide that it was over.
Illogical quarantines. Optional testing. You-do-you PPE.

The H5N1 outbreak on dairy farms could have been ended with swift action months ago. Instead, officials deployed the COVID playbook. Now, we’re a mutation away from disaster:

It may seem strange to folks outside of academia, but there has been a line of prominent research within it arguing that misinformation isn't a problem. This paper pushes back, noting how those arguments often rely on poor definitions & operationalizations of what misinformation is & how it works.
In this new article in American Psychologist we respond to critics in detail and clarify two key points for the field;

(1) The prevalence of misinformation in society is substantial when properly defined.

(2) Misinformation causally impacts attitudes and behaviors.
