At tonight's meeting, Allegheny County Council passed Ordinance 13809-26, unamended, with a vote of 11-3 and one abstention. The ordinance bans county agencies and employees from cooperating with ICE.

Allegheny County Council just passed Ordinance 13809-26 banning county agencies and employees from cooperating with ICE. Pittsburgh DSA turned out our members to tonight's meeting to send one message: Allegheny County stands in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors. We will abolish ICE!

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

All the birds are out doing bird stuff and it makes me happy

if you have a salary job making 70k or more a year then make friends with a couple of trans people online who are busting their asses to barely eat and send them 10 or so dollars here there please please please together we can make difference

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

The meme of an old-timey doctor and it reads “being an ole-times doctor would rule, just drunk as hell like - yeah u got ghosts in your blood, you should do cocaine about it.”

Maybe they had ghosts in their blood

Yeah it really does feel like that.

RELISH IN THE SCREAMS OF YOUR ENEMIES! DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE YOU CAN TALK TO?

While i do not condone encouraging violence I will say that trump getting stabbed to death by a room full of senators would make for some really good television

Did you know that seeing your friends in person and having a meal together can do wonders for your mental health? Are there studies on this? I feel like if there were, we'd have heard about them. Need to look into this more, this is really groundbreaking stuff.

You're not going to win the lottery, cooperation in advance won't keep you out of the concentration camps, Elon Musk or [insert random rich person here] isn't going to favor you with a monetary gift... but most problems in society actually CAN be solved by eliminating billionaires.

Estimated cost of Trump's war: $1 billion PER DAY.

That's enough to pay for
- Medicaid for all 16 million people losing it because of Republican budget cuts
- AND daily food stamps for all 41 million people who rely on them

Imagine if we had a government put people over profit.

The reductions in the number of new and competing renewal R01s by topic (based on simple searches in NIH Reporter).

The cuts are across the board: Cancer down 24%, Alzheimer down 45%, Obesity down 29%, Child by 21%.

Transgender was down by 84% but represents only a small number of grants.

History soapbox time:
Saying that women weren't allowed to have a checking account or get a loan w/o a male cosigner before the '70s... is wildly misleading. Some women were; some weren't.
What's accurate is that in some places it was explicitly illegal to deny women those things, but not in others.

I want all these posters. But especially the mitten.

I want my tax dollars building schools in America, not blowing them up in Iran.

History is written by the Victors. Philosophy is written by the Garys. Lucy writes all the religious stuff.

so my challenge to buckaroo readers who share constant news about dying creative industries, who repost stories about AI harming the arts, who lament the loss of genuine human creativity, JUST TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO ACTUALLY PREORDER SOMETHING FROM A HUMAN ARTIST THAT YOU LIKE

It is genuinely a very funny bit to be living through the material realities of capitalism, having every horror it has to offer shoved in your face every single day, and still be a "communism is bad!" guy. Like I think at this point dogs have a better grasp of cause and effect than you do

A line graph showing the success rates for fiscal years 2015-2025 as a function of percentile score. The curve for fiscal year 2025 is substantially lower than for previous fiscal years.

With these results in hand, we can now reproduce the graph that @joshuasweitz.bsky.social posted.

It is still shocking, but we can now understand why it looks the way it does: The number of R01 and R56 awards were down while the number of applications were up.

A possibility which I am now working on understanding is that funds from terminated grants were not used to other NIH grants as Director Bhattacharya has said they were

Instead, it seems that they may have been returned to the Treasury, effectively cutting the NIH appropriation.

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.

Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

I said what I said.

We're not ready to push forward into the renewable future. We still want to cling to This old silly fossil fuel world that is killing the planet.

If you had an EV that costs under $20K, and subsidized solar cells on your roof, you'd be partially insulated from gas price hikes.

Gee, who could have predicted this?

It kills me how much we're repeating things. And the comparisons are accurate.

genuinely: american class politics is so interesting

Library and Archives planning deep cuts to access to information team, document shows — The Globe and Mail Cuts will put at risk ability to comply with access and privacy laws, department acknowledged in a document

In a world in flames, archives might seem inconsequential, yet they represent our collective memory, and their erasure also is a political act.
