About half the jail population in Albuquerque is homeless. The county spends about $169 per night to jail inmates without significant medical or mental health needs. Housing individuals in the city’s year-round emergency shelter costs $44 a night.
This raises the obvious question of what kind of thing the Trump admin might need the National Transportation Safety Board to do that a conscientious Board member would reject.
A picture of a smoke alarm on a gray ceiling with streaks of dim light. The text reads: Time machine. Can't bring you backwards or forwards. Can give you the minutes you need to escape your home alive. Check/change your smoke alarm batteries.
When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're going to get a ticket for throwing a smoke alarm out the window of your car.
So now Trump and his buddies will buy up stocks while low, back off of Iran, market recovers and sit back and rake in the profits.
Ethnic cleansing, trafficking children, war abroad, it's all always about grift and graft. Capitalism fuels their inhumanity.
Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.
I wonder how many people realize this is the norm.

I am SO PROUD to introduce the Albuquerque Indian School Act, which will transfer almost 10 acres of federal land to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and NM’s 19 Pueblos.
This will support the IPCC’s work supporting indigenous communities and celebrate Pueblo culture, sovereignty, and resilience!
Either way, tho, my very strong view on this has for a long time been that "conscious" and "has moral agency" are importantly different concepts, and that "is X conscious" is both intractable unknowable and entirely irrelevant to any of the important questions about the technology
Thank you, dear J6 Plaque.
Why are 4 out of the 5 defenders who died afterwards not in the above list? Namely, Brian Sicknick, Gunther Hashida, Howard Liebengood, and Jeffrey Smith.
Guards in the ICE camps are taking bets on who will kill themselves next
Geraldo Campos was suffocated to death & the witnesses immediately deported
Chaofeng Ge was found hanging with his hands & feet tied behind his back
Emmanuel Damas died of a tooth infection
It’s torture.

Himes: I have a theory on how this ends…
You’re going to see oil go across $100… Projections for economic growth are going to go down.
And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And he’s going to declare victory and walk away.
Honestly if you’re sending a robot to run terraform destroy, that damage is on you. Humans can’t even run that thing without disastrous consequences. That’s what you get for running with scissors
When you’re living with chronic illness, your body calls the shots.
It doesn’t matter how hard you try.
It doesn’t matter how badly you “want” to do something.
There’s time when your body will say “No”.
You’re no longer in control and it can be devastating.
BREAKING: Trump has FIRED DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and has tapped Senator Markwayne Mullin to fill the role effective March 31.
“With “war” transforming into the Republicans’ Lord Voldemort on Capitol Hill — otherwise known in “Harry Potter” lore as “He Who Must Not Be Named” — those who accidentally used the word quickly contorted themselves to get out of it.”

I genuinely do not understand who the audience for this is
Let me see if I get this straight: the 'f*ck your feelings' crowd went to war with Iran based on....feelings? Got it.

No. That’s how you hurt the vulnerable.

"Of course, the administration’s telling is wrong. The United States isn’t bound by Israel's foreign policy. [But] suggesting it was all Israel’s idea may make it a bit easier to argue that America was facing an imminent threat..."

This is Minneapolis:
A neighbor kid I’ve been helping every day since mid Dec gave me a hug today (unprompted), after running to me with a smile at pick up.
I melted.
I wish my neighbors never had to deal with this terror.
And I’m so grateful to be connected to them & their wonderful kids.

She’s a serious candidate; at this point I think most people dismissing her seriousness are at least partially motivated by misogyny; and this is a clearer articulation of a progressive foreign policy than I’ve seen anyone else running for office make
I like to distract myself from the terrifying political news by reading the ridiculous political news.
