Let me sum it up for non-military folks:
Senator Mark Kelly didn’t violate any military laws. None.
Hegseth’s little bitch ass has been ordered by Trump to retaliate against Sen. Kelly for speaking out, and Hegseth does what Daddy tells him to do.
That’s all this is.

In the U.S.– no matter what your immigration status is– you have the right to record immigration enforcement agents. This is a powerful tool for exposing their tactics, combatting abuse, and fighting detention.

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:
“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”
“I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”

A win! A federal judge has halted a Trump administration plan that relied on confidential tax records to target migrants for deportation. In a ruling issued today, the judge said the IRS improperly shared the tax information of several migrants earlier this year.

This is honestly just embarrassing mismanagement by the alder’s part.
Even if a legitimate majority of community stakeholder opposes this project (doubtful), the fact that it got all the way to poured concrete before she decided to retreat is *at best* a massive communication failure on her part.

To have taxpayer funds invested in your neighborhood like this, in a way that data shows reduce congestion, make the community safer, and spur economic growth, and not do the community educational work to build strong local support is gross incompetence.
And to retreat is nothing but cowardice.

Alders should not have the authority to push CDOT to rip something like this out. Decisions like this should be based on pure safety data not political will.

Sharing thread about another stupid alder decision on #bikechi infrastructure that could make 18th/Michigan safer for bikes and peds. So frustrating. @betterstreetschicago.org @chi.streetsblog.org @atalliance.bsky.social
The alderperson provided an update today: many of the already installed protections will be removed and planned protections will not be installed
the bike lane construction in question
it goes from 18th/Clark to 18th/Michigan, with a protected intersection at 18th/Wabash

I wonder if drivers are starting to get the message about blocking bus stops thanks to the new tickets issued from CTA bus cameras. This morning I saw the bus stop at Dearborn/Adams occupied by buses with no car blockage. :) #Chicago

If Evangelicals want to know why people are leaving organized religion, it's because you excuse and elevate the objectively worst people as "God's chosen," while ridiculing the poor, marginalized, and downtrodden as sinners and lepers.
And I'm talking to Evangelicals of all faiths.

A horrifying graphic from Pew showing the fruits of the right wing war on public health.
Only 48% of Republicans believe that vaccines prevent serious illness, while 80% of Democrats do.
This is not a difference of opinion in science. This is the result of a ruthless disinformation campaign.
