It’s not necessary to keep highlighting the qualities of exceptional immigrants as a reason for them to be treated well by their governments. We don’t have to be on our best behaviour to receive a basic level of human decency: that‘s why they’re called “human rights”, and not “human privileges”.

19 miners will die very week from exposure to silica because the Trump administration refuses to enforce - and wants to roll back - the Biden silica rule. More important for coal companies to make a few extra bucks than save the lives of miners @kimkelly.bsky.social inthesetimes.com/article/the-...
The Trump Administration Ramps Up Its War On Coal Miners
A planned rule to set new silica exposure limits—and address Appalachia’s ongoing black lung crisis—has been under continued assault. Now, it looks like it's off the table.

This right here, and all of this could have been avoided if it wasn’t for her ego. The fact she let it get to a point where congress has now poked their noses in this should be the most embarrassing thing.
And now 39 members of Congress have sent Berman a letter calling into question her leadership and decision making. Doesn’t matter what new rule Berman cooks up, or even if she continues to serve as commissioner, she can’t really come back from this.

Read this, if you read nothing else on this topic. The right wing attacks in the OU situation are fully dishonest. Don't stand for dithering on grades regarding a paper that blatantly violated the university's own publicly stated academic policy.

big late breaking news: the market monitor for the largest energy grid in the u.s., covering much of the midwest and mid-atlantic, has called to block new data centers connections to the grid, saying current course of growth assures regular blackouts
No more PJM data centers unless they can be reliably served: market monitor
The PJM Interconnection’s market monitor urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rule that large data centers can only come online if the grid operator can still meet reliability metrics.

every tiny crumb that leaks out is a career ending bombshell and we’re all just supposed to go on with our lives while our elected representatives shrug and tell us there’s nothing to be done about the president’s involvement in a child sex trafficking operation

37.5% - In penalty shootouts in all competitions for #NWSL teams, Aubrey Kingsbury has saved 37.5% of the on-target penalties she has faced (9/24). All other goalkeepers have combined to save just 17.2% (20/116). Different.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

This is a colossal failure by the league and its television "partners," and it's still only their second biggest fumble by the league this season. Remember, they made two teams keep playing after their colleague died and came back to life in the stadium on the pitch. That was 3 months ago. Alright.
