I grew up with dogs and love them and now have one kid who is very much skittish despite plenty of exposure. I beg people you do not need to take your dogs everywhere. I promise they don't want to go to most of the places you drag them to claiming it's discrimination to not allow them.
I don't see how this is not unkind to the dog. It's a stressful situation you do not have to put a dog in (guide dog has obviouslybeen trained differently). It's also really unfair to people who are going to be in tight quarters and may have a fear of dogs.

utterly depressing that Nixon-level scandals are now a normal Friday night news drop, barely remarked upon, just another day in Trump’s America
Two more career prosecutors fired for refusing to indict NY AG Letitia James because they could not find probable cause to charge her. 🎁

Just a reminder before you go pointing fingers at the different teams. NHL culture is rotten to the core. Former CBJ/Flyer Jakub Voracek is a rape apologist.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

I am sharing this because people need to know that the majority of people polled know who to blame.
Voters blame Republicans for the shutdown by a 53-37% margin lmao

Clearer than ever that the Epstein Files are what could bring this all crashing down and they're trying to get everything fascisted up before anyone can make that happen
Rep. Johnny Olszewski D-MD (lower left) tried but failed to get recognized on the House floor today to get Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva D-AZ sworn in. Speaker Johnson has refused to seat Grijalva for more than 3 weeks. "This is wrong and you know it Mr. Speaker."

Guys who crawled up into fame by running small businesses and mastering SEO and cloutchasing being more right wing than people who mastered a collaborative art form seems pretty intuitive to me
just an observation but it does seem like the entertainment class of tiktok lifestyle influencers and reality stars is going to be way more right wing than actors, directors, and tv/movie writers.
New York is both the realest and most made up city ever
saw this clip of the NYC mayor debate and i had tears in my eyes, perhaps the most insane section of any debate ever

Please, listen to us! Tune in to an HISD board meeting. Listen to the hundreds of parents begging to board to care! Listen to the board pontificate about test scores while not knowing a damned thing about public education. Listen as Miles lies that his drill and kill curriculum is "high quality"

Next year, high school grads will have gone through their entire high school career WITHOUT HAVING READ A SINGLE FULL LENGTH BOOK. We talk about a crisis of literacy in this country. We are not prepared for what is going to be facing us now.

This tragic but excellent article needs to be read by everyone throughout the country. The Republicans want to kill public ed. They are using state takeovers and charter school owning charlatans like Mike Miles (and his abusive NES) to do it. See at what they are stealing from our (soon your) kids!🧵

Like I've been saying, why should reporters bother treating Johnson like the Speaker of the House when he's effectively disbanded the House.
It's official: Speaker Johnson just cancelled all votes in the House next week.

The next scheduled voting day is 10/27; the last time the House was in session was 9/19.

Again, this is a liquidation of the union in all but letter of the law. This is reverse secessionism engineered by a central government.
NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.

If you let Trump just declare random innocent Venezuelans terrorists and assassinate them, if you let him just get away with summary executions with no due process; no oversight and no penalty, then eventually Trump WILL start killing American citizens who criticize his administration.
This is just incredible. Rep Adam Smith tells me the administration has given lawmakers *zero* in the way of the most basic information about the illegal bombings. He says this is nothing like previous situations where basic info was supplied. In this case, nothing.

If anyone's wondering how this is possible, the answer is these strike teams are moving terrifyingly fast. Grab first, ask questions later. We were about 8-15 minutes behind them today for several hours. They're jumping out of vans, chasing people across lawns, taking them from bus stops, etc
30 people disappeared in this shaded area today.

It's not even noon and they've already kidnapped at least one street vendor from the southwest side. Elgin RR also reporting large presence at City Hall there/Kane County Courthouse.
According to rapid response, feds have grabbed one person from the Addison/Kimball Home Depot this morning. Several people detained in Back of the Yards as well, still all over the area. They've also returned to Carpentersville this morning, and were seen near an elementary school there.

Roberts has always felt that the suggestion that white people might discriminate on the basis of race is a profound moral injustice, much greater than black people being denied the right to vote bsky.app/profile/jayw...
Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.
One of the Biggest Cases of the Supreme Court’s Term Is John Roberts’ Decadeslong Pet Project
If there’s one thing the Roberts court has been consistent on, it’s this.
