This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

I'm just constantly thinking of the threat all this *waves hands* poses to people with #disabilities. Now, a new one: as investment funds abandon t-notes and the dollar ceases to become the international reserve currency, how exactly is the government supposed to fund sufficient social services?

When NIMBYs say that California is full and their cities can’t accommodate more housing, they are saying that queer people trying to get out of red states are on their own.
New research confirms what many of us see: there's a large internal migration of LGBTQ people in the US, especially trans people, to friendlier states & cities.
Since 11/2024, 9% of all trans people have moved to another state, 43% have considered moving.

Reductions in particulate pollution will disproportionately benefit people with respiratory conditions and limited lung capacity, and those who are immunocompromised. Congestion pricing is a huge win for public health and an especially huge win for people with disabilities.
Particulate pollution in the air down a whopping 22% in NYC’s congestion pricing zone.
Not only are the streets less congested, but so are our lungs.

Heavy-industry sectors like cement have long struggled to decarbonise because their processes require very high temperatures.
That’s why the new Rondo Energy heat-battery project in Thailand is such a big deal - powering a cement plant with low-carbon steam.
