GOP Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) told Politico on Tuesday that he's received assurances that Republicans will get another chance to cut Medicaid after voting to support President Donald Trump's mega budget bill.
Republicans have always gotten their jollies from stomping on anyone who isn't rich and white, but they always hid their cruelty behind the guise of "fiscal responsibility" or "cutting the deficit". Now that the entire party is in thrall to the Psychopath-in-Chief, they're not even attempting to hide who they are any more.
and his constituents will reelect him resoundingly... While others stay home - to protest Palestinian genocide (while not even knowing where in the world that is and watching, following & voting every zionist under the sun), both sides are the same (while only ever having voted gop), needing to burn everything down to break up party duopoly (while ensuring single fascist party they previously voted for entrenches more power) or some other bs.
Very dramatic (and pretty) wall of smoke rising above the hills from the Laguna Fire. (Which, as I typed the previous sentence, I am now informed is 56% contained!) #NewMexico
The image depicts a serene landscape during what appears to be either sunrise or sunset. In the foreground, there is a dense cluster of green trees, including a prominent pine tree on the left side. The midground features a rocky hillside with a distinct stratification, suggesting geological layers. The sky is a mix of soft blue and warm hues, with scattered clouds that are illuminated by the low sun, creating a gradient effect. A large cloud formation in the background has a pinkish-orange tint, possibly indicating the presence of smoke or dust. The overall atmosphere is calm and natural, with no visible human activity or structures.

I could see it ok. Factory reset. 😬 I found the Google support people very keen to be helpful but unable to solve the issue with my pixel phone. Some apps (including Mastodon and some Google stuff) often won't connect to my wifi but are fine using the SIM. On my Chromebook the apps work fine on wifi. Google even sent me a replacement phone. It didn't work properly either so I sent it back. Now I just put up with it. I doubt that I'll buy another Pixel.
@smitjo Google is blocked by some routers because it’s loaded with spyware. After spending hours trying to connect my Google Nest to my Netgear router, Google admitted their products were blocked by Netgear.
@apples_and_pears I think about this a lot, and about how our figurative painting would appear to a distant viewer, wondering why we thought things looked that way... no theory here, I just wonder sometimes 😆

The Witch Lights have achieved their final and best physical form! Last week the magical and very slightly cursed will-o-wisps invaded a small town on a hill in Vermont.
The installation was a huge success, and happily validated a new hardware design that radically simplifies installation and breakdown. And which also incorporates forged, cold steel stake hardware. Because the Fair Folk are attracted to loose magic. Like ants.

Went from LineageOS 20 (Android 13) to LineageOS 22 (Android 15).
The Motorola G7 (river) was my phone a long time ago, but I gave it to my mother a few years back. She’s still happy with it, but since she was worried that updating would wipe everything, she hadn’t informed me that it was no longer receiving direct updates.
Today, I was able to sideload the update without her losing anything. All that worry for nothing. lol
NYT - Secretary of State Rubio, was overseeing a deal to free several Americans and dozens of political prisoners held in Venezuela in exchange for sending home about 250 Venezuelan migrants the US had deported to El Salvador. But the deal never happened. nytimes.com/2025/07/08/world/a…
The women we work with through the National Network of Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls often face immense barriers to obtaining a WWCC, even when their charges have nothing to do with children. Many who apply have convictions that stem from surviving poverty, violence, homelessness or substance use. These are routinely read by the system not as evidence of structural harm or survival, but as fixed indicators of unsuitability.
Criminalised women — especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women — already face steep hurdles when applying for a clearance after prison. The law treats a decades-old shoplifting charge, a survival response to domestic violence, or even the state-sanctioned removal of one’s own child as permanent red flags. These often result in women being denied a clearance and being issued a prohibition or negative notice.
its so messed up what they do to women, especially single mothers. Poverty is systemic violence, forced onto people. It isn't right to deny them a real chance at life and being with their families.
During Bush II's administration, I was asked to serve on a government advisory committee. There was a form asking our political affiliation—with the statement that by law, they could not require an answer, but they wanted to be able to show the press that they did not discriminate against Democrats. I declined to answer, and was still appointed. Someone else on the committee said that he answered "liberal Democrat"; he, too, was appointed. And this was during Bush's time! (I'll skip the details, but when I was asked to join another advisory committee when Obama took office there was even more evidence of honesty and respect for process.) mastodon.social/@arstechnica/1…
