AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social: It is the responsibility of Congress to declare and authorize the use of military force. Congress has not authorized a military use of force. There has not been a case made, and I think the absence of one really speaks volumes.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Sorry if you saw this before, I wanted to address the tone.
I'm trying to fill in some of the gaps regarding the children detained since Trump's 2nd term. Does anyone have any further info on where some of these children "released" might be? Or evidence that the children still inside are there?

Relatedly, Facebook (I'm only there because the local scuba community is there) started showing me ads for companies selling actual illegal drugs. I reported it and was told it didn't violate TOS. When I posted a screenshot to show ppl, I got a strike on my account for promoting illegal sales.

Zebra Finches Dream a Little Dream of Melody
Zebra finches flex their singing muscles while snoozing, as if they're lip-syncing in their sleep—and scientists want to know why

Massive Layoffs at the Dept of #Education Erode Its #CivilRights Division
Only five of the agency’s civil rights offices remain nationwide. Those who are still with the department say it will now be “virtually impossible” to resolve #discrimination complaints.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
