At this moment of autocrats vilifying judges and the rule of law, lawyers can prove why they're lawyers. This is the time to stand up for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and for people under attack.

Must be nice to be able to give yourself a 5-day weekend!

Home - U.S. Senate Daily Press Senate ScheduleSenator Booker has been speaking since 7:00 p.m. Monday evening. Next vote: TBA. Senate Hearings & Meetings

If you want to see all the Senators supporting @booker.senate.gov, you can see the list here: www.dailypress.senate.gov

Senator Cory Booker has started his 19th hour on the Senate floor during his filibuster.

"I don't understand how we can be a nation with so much wealth and abundance and we haven't figured out a way to design a system where, when you invest in the wellbeing of people, people thrive."

Bravo, Cory!

Senator Cory Booker is only a few hours away from breaking Strom Thurmond's record for the longest speech on the Senate floor (24 hours and 18 minutes).

Every single Democratic Senator needs to be like Senator Michael Bennet out there helping Cory with his filibuster!

Come on, Cory!!!!!

UK Fact-Finding Mission Highlights Situation of Tigrayans in Ethiopia Post-Ceasefire - Yabele Media It raises concerns about the adequacy of the sample size and the extent to which they accurately and correctly described the hardships.

As indicated, the report is not a reflection of the official views of the UK government, it is conducted to serve as one resource for understanding the socio-political situations of Tigrayans in Ethiopia after the agreement. yabelemedia.com/2025/01/05/7...

Forced from their lands, the #Irob & #Kunama communities in #Tigray demand justice. End the atrocities & ensure their safe return by removing 🇪🇷n forces. #UpholdPretoriaAgreement #EritreanTroopsOutOfTigray @bundesstiftkohl.bsky.social

How can world powers stop Israel from attacking Gaza’s medical facilities? The United Nations says the health system in Gaza is on the verge of total collapse amid relentless Israeli attacks.

It is likely that Hamas has misused some health facilities in Gaza as part of its war tactics. But that does not justify the disproportionate Israeli response of razing health infrastructure and inflicting collective punishment on the majority innocent people aje.io/i0r2gt

Trust in the Ethiopian government’s commitment to justice is low among Tigrayans, who feel their suffering has been overlooked.

Meloni’s Albanian migrant detention centers are now ghost towns The much-touted solution to Europe’s migration crisis houses only Italian police — who have taken to adopting stray dogs and sunbathing.

I centri di detenzione, i lager, per #migranti in #Albania del gov. #Meloni sono oggi città fantasma.
Ospita solo la polizia italiana che ha preso in adozione i cani randagi del posto.
Tutto alla modica cifra di 67,5 milioni di euro‼️

Book cover. Yellow writing, blue-green background, ripples, monster images. I've propped the book up in front of others in the same subject.

Pages inside. Well arranged text, images of sea monster observations plus some relevant photos of whales.

I'm currently reading Adrian Shine's A Natural History of Sea Serpents and really enjoying it. A long review is coming to Tetrapod Zoology in time. #cryptozoology #books

Home networking update, for those playing the home game:

Had an Xfinity rep tell me that since cable TV had been activated at some point in my apartment, the POE filter should already be in place.

Turned MoCA on in the gateway and I only see 1 client (the gateway itself). 1/

Comics people!

I'm looking for a FLATTER to help me out with a kids/middle school graphic novel. Currently around 30+ pages, potentially more.

Send me a DM or Email (in bio) with rates and examples. Or anyone you recommend.

I have to say as someone with a lot of really bad trauma, someone like Sylus is actually so healing for me lol.

I love Zayne too (obviously he’s my main LI) but Sylus really heals a part of me idk :’)

If you’re going on a Boxing Day hunt today, may your turkey sandwiches give you the runs for a week, you utter horror of an excuse for a human being.

"haha this game is so easy. why was i so fascinated with it?"

Two kids are trapped in a darkened hjouse with no windows. One says "damn bro, looks like we got skinamarkinked." The other brother asks "how are we gonna get out of this one?" Suddenly the Kook Aid man bursts through a wall and says "OH YEAH!!!" He extends his hand and says "come with me if you want to live." The brothers seem delighted.
