As a Cat3 hurricane bears down on the Florida panhandle, it's worth noting that states like GA, FL, AL, & MS, have the highest numbers of Nat'l Guard troops in DC (needlessly & unjustifiably). Seems like they're actually needed at home, not here. #FREEDC #DCStatehood www.npr.org/2026/08/11/n...

Armed troops have patrolled D.C. for 1 year now. It's challenging democratic norms

The deployment is expected to cost in the billions after it was quietly extended until Inauguration Day of 2029.

Elon Musk, who is estimated to have ensured the mass deaths of 16 million people by 2030, most of whom will be children, is also history's most prolific creator and distributor of CSAM. He has basically infinite money to avoid facing any legal consequences whatsoever for his vast, vast crimes.

Absolutely enraging for local journalists to hold tight to their "neutral" stance when it comes to the armed federal occupation of DC. This isn't about "fighting crime", it's an overt expression of racism, xenophobia, and power. We aren't "critics", we're community members who believe in a #FreeDC.

People say this question is not relevant to our immediate existential troubles, but I disagree with that. It is the ultimate existential question. The only one. Because trans inclusion is an immediate existential issue for trans people. Which means it’s a greater existential question for all people.

This is why we call it an occupation. Even if it seems like the National Guard "aren't doing anything," them simply being here, as an armed militarized presence, is meant to intimidate us and squash dissent, especially at the same time other federal agents are disappearing neighbors.

The idea that family courts favor women and children over abusive men is a pervasive and harmful myth. Someone like Max Miller being able to have ongoing unsupervised custody visits with his daughter is frightening. Abuse allegations actually make courts MORE likely to give fathers custody!

Ian Bremmer is a “political scientist” and Colombia academic defending the Trump Administration for their responsibility in what will be millions of deaths. These are the sorts of “serious adults” that Democrats listen to on foreign policy. What a vile piece of trash.

Ian Bremmer tweet: “ i don’t accept the argument that if you cut foreign aid—even valuable, well targeted foreign aid (which some of usaid was)—you’re responsible for killing people.

this should be obvious. so it will probably be controversial.”

It's too easy to sacrifice someone else for a cause. "From each according to ability, to each according to need" also means that people with the most ability to take action on behalf of others have the greatest responsibility to do so, even if they don't receive the most benefits from doing so.

i cannot implore you enough to use respiratory protection that *really works* for what you’re facing. yes, the best mask is the mask you’ll wear, but when conditions are this bad, know that not all tools are created equal. if you can access something better and are able to wear it, it’s worth it.

4.9 - The Masks Explained
Underneath the title it says:
Below is a visual side-by-side comparison of each mask.
Efficacy is always dependent on a good fit and seal.
The results of the chart are as follows:
KN95: filters 95% of particulate matter, filters exhalation, easier to breathe in.
N95: filters 95% of particulate matter, filters exhalation, easier to breathe in.
Disposable P100: N95: filters 99.97% of particulate matter.
Reusable P100s with 60926 filters: filters 99.97% of particulate matter, filters gases and vapors.
