the door and doorframe swelling from humidity is literally like certain body parts swelling from additional liquids, so you could tell them your door frame is in heat.

I don't know if they'll appreciate it, but they need to know!

every cycle of charge and discharge causes batteries to expand and contract, similar to human breathing. This action causes battery components to warp just a tiny amount, putting strain on the battery and weakening it over time.

I like when scientists have fun with describing things.

When my door sticks on humid days I should say it's because my doorframe is breathing.

I wish we could offer the victims lifelong protection from retribution if they agree to name names. They deserve to live full, healthy lives and the people who hurt them need to face justice. As it is...

When they've tried to do anything, nothing comes of it and their lives get worse.

"Most of the individuals, the victims, are very scared to say these names because they could get sued. They're going to get attacked, and nobody protected them the first time and that was against one person," Edwards said.

Henderson added, "I think if someone's interested in prosecuting, they may have something different to say about sharing a list, but they're not sharing a list for nothing to happen. And that's the experience that they've had for all of these years."

All their lives, they get treated like a sacrifice for other people to get what they want. They get raped to fulfill the fantasies of the powerful. They get threatened if they ever say anything. Now, the well intentioned keep pushing them to come out with names for the greater good. Are there negotiations behind the scenes to make sure the people who victimized them don't use their considerable power and lack of interest in abiding to the law (by definition, if someone raped a child, they don't care about exclusively following the law) to further harm them? And everyone they care about?

I'm not familiar with bluesky feeds. Can someone explain in more detail the purpose of this community? It's just curiosity, so don't feel obligated.

Regardless of citizenship status, he shouldn't be put in a chokehold and assaulted for...walking down the street while being non-white? A lot of citizens are living under the illusion that citizenship status protects people from this treatment. It doesn't, but even if Mubashir was here illegally, he didn't deserve this. The chokehold could have killed him, and now he has to live knowing that he can't leave his home without risking being killed by an armed gang.

 

A Somali U.S. citizen, Mubashir, was arrested by federal immigration officers in Cedar-Riverside Tuesday during a mass enforcement.

In the video, a federal officer is seen putting Mubashir in a choke hold and forcing him onto his knees in the snow as he was on his way to get food. Mubashir said he told officers multiple times that he is a U.S. citizen and asked if he could show them his I.D. Officers ignored him, dragged him in the snow and pushed him into a car as witnesses yelled and blew whistles, according to the video of his arrest.

No, but it's something I've heard other people describe. I don't know if it's common, but it doesn't sound odd.

People at church when I went as a kid would talk about a sense of feeling guided. People talked about feeling "called" to something. I always felt a lot of nothing, but I don't think most of them were lying about that feeling, even if I suspect a different source than they did.

https://parade.com/food/cheese-recall-aldi-target-walmart-december2025 This article's a little more extensive. It's weird apnews didn't link to the fda report that briantheebiscuiteer linked to, since that has the actual actionable info people would need.

 

Former Republican state legislator Austin Smith pleaded guilty Monday to what he previously called “ludicrous” charges that he personally forged more than 100 signatures on his petitions for reelection last year.

I can't take a lot of cold medicines, but I wish I was unconscious right now.

What makes you feel better in this situation? Hot showers? Whiskey? Soup? Watching that comfort movie your mom put on when you were a kid?

 

Video purportedly showed two federal agents pulling the woman out of Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center at 2550 W. Addison St. about 7 Wednesday morning.

At a rally Wednesday evening at Northcenter Town Square, elected officials voiced frustration with immigration enforcement in the city. Ald. Matt Martin (47th) said the parents from the school had arranged legal representation for Galeano, though they were unsure where she had been taken.

“If ever you feel despair in the coming days, look around you,” Martin said. “There were four [federal agents], but there are hundreds of us. ”

 

Bomb threats to New Jersey polling stations, a voter roll mishap in Pennsylvania potentially affecting thousands of voters and warnings by President Donald Trump against California’s mail balloting system are marking the final day of voting in an off-year election with several nationally prominent r

 

Food banks have already been contending with higher food prices and increased need. Administrators say demand will skyrocket if federal nutrition benefits stop in a few days because of the government shutdown.

"The average household that we see receives about $350 per month, which roughly translates to about $44 million worth of SNAP benefits that will be gone from families," she told NPR. "There is no way that we alone can make up for a $44 million food budget shortfall."

 

Tensions flared early Thursday morning as protesters attempted to block U.S. Border Patrol agents from entering a U.S. Coast Guard base near Oakland that the Trump administration was staging as an operations hub for an anticipated immigration crackdown on the Bay Area.

 

The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.

 

Anyone have any experience wearing one for a long period of time?

 

I used to have a mental health app with a very nice "breathe along with this" thing that was the only part of the app i really used. That app closed, but is there a nice simple app I could use out there? I could pick one at random on fdroid but if someone has one they like to rec, it'd save me sorting through them.
