"It is estimated that nearly 1,000 representatives from all 12 Anishinaabe Tribal Nations in Michigan came together Monday to stand for the water and against the continued operation of the Line 5 pipeline."
This was the group leading the walk. It appears MLive is the only outlet to report on it.

This really is the fundamental toxicity of this technology that just can't ever be escaped; even if it wasn't the object of economically destructive hype, even if it wasn't being overdeployed in environmentally harmful ways, etc, it's like asbestos for the brain
I was trying to get through to one of the staff of this site yesterday but like, this is psychosis. The people who run this site think AI is alive. How do you come back from this

Routine reminder that Bhattacharya is an economics researcher who has never practiced medicine and whose best known publication is overtly fraudulent. He has never done infectious disease research and has never treated a single virus or infection in his entire career. He’s likely never seen measles.
NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya defends measles on Fox News and condemns Gov. Shapiro for "playing this out over the airwaves for political purposes, just like what happened during covid. And this is why there's such deep distrust in public health."

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling.
They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

He was seizing. Ambulance was already called. ICE “released” him anyway, mid-emergency, so his death wouldn’t count as theirs. No report. No notice to Congress. Menendez found out by accident. 3rd death at Delaney Hall. This isn’t a loophole. It’s a system built to erase people. Make some noise!

Absolutely heartbreaking letter from the mother of Alex Pretti, six months after his murder by ICE agents. How is it possible that we still haven’t seen even a hint of justice for such a heinous crime?

NEW: A lawsuit filed Tuesday alleges that ICE held monthly in-person meetings with Iranian officials in which it divulged details on Iranian asylum seekers and gave Tehran some say in which individuals the Trump administration would deport. Claims both State and ICE coordinated handing over files.

I read the article articles and watched the videos, but genuinely nothing prepared me for this. This is unbelievable. My perspective comes from years of working live events across the country. I’ve worked county fairs that were 1,000x better than the Great American State Fair. It’s really bad.
I finally made it to the Great American State Fair. The columns on this fake building are something to behold.

Huge riff! Great yowl! The best garage revival album of 2008 is from a band so old they had a song in Animal House. NYC's own Fleshtones never stoped writing great new songs. They are one of the best live bands I have ever seen.

TIL that Kenny Loggins has a trans son and that he is a super awesome and supportive dad.
!["I had to check in with my daughter — who was then my daughter, is now my son — to make sure that they were okay with telling the story out loud and embracing that," he told The Canadian Press. "There's been so much negativity, and so much fear spread around people who need to transition that I felt that the other side of the coin needed to be expressed, which was that it's an expression of love for my [son], that to publicly accept his transition was an expression of love that I wanted to do for him."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:25ttop2hwc6pkxjhccxx4tdp/bafkreigzb6hhkzmjl53qz2x4vgn3a4c7eukuigpsjzeimyqaocmwns5fxa)
