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.

My first thought was that there was a bright light shining on it for some reason.

It's not fast, unfortunately, but I was prescribed a high weekly dose by my doctor and it did seem to help eventually. The long time it takes means I'm left wondering if I feel better because of the vitamins, or something else, but I do feel better.

Research has found that vitamin D insufficiency resolved with 12 weeks of weekly high-dose vitamin D.

Unfortunately, when your D is really low, you should up the dosage to get a noticable change, but too much vitamin D can be dangerous so I wouldn't recommend it without finding out what your levels are. When I was checked both my vitamin D and iron were low, which is why I was sleeping constantly and still feeling fatigued.

"power user" is such a kind way to describe that, thank you!

Some of the ones that get to stay professional are also majority female, so there's something else going on too, but I'm sure sexism is also hugely involved.

Like, a sensible list for higher loan thresholds would be how genuinely expensive it is to train someone in it. Like, how much the gear - books, equipment, normal trainer salaries, etc - cost. And nursing would have to be high in that regard. If they aren't using more objective measures because this is a vibes based government, bias that treats women's jobs as less valuable seems like a likely reason for the change.

Looking at what I have now, it's a mix of tasks I don't want to forget to do, a long article I was reading but felt i wasn't absorbing, some fanfic I am probably going to read in the next couple days plus the rec list I got them from, a podcast I'm still midway through for when I'm driving, an article for a work thing I'll need tomorrow, a couple dnd race pages open as I'm making a character for a new campaign, and two bsky people who post interesting articles on the daily so I read them daily. Some stuff is bookmarked, but if I'm using it in the next week, it stays in tabs.

They all get closed when I'm done with them, but new things get rotated in. I'm at my max now, but it's rare I have under five open. It's a to-do list, basically, and there are always new things to do, and read, and think about, and learn. Bookmarks are for when I want to save a link to look at much later. Like, webcomics I've caught up with, artists I like, utility pages, resources, etc.

I used to be "worse" because I had fun in the early 00s generating link lists for character fan pages. It involved opening every relevant link on an already vetted and tagged page, and then checking each one (and opening pages from their links if they turned out to be relevant). When I finished a character, I'd start on the next, so I'd have one or two hundred open most of the time. I lost interest, eventually. The impulse to link to relevant topics still exists in me, however, which is a big reason I'm on this website.

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.

 

28% of Americans are now religiously unaffiliated. A new study from Pew Research looks at how atheists, agnostics and those whose religion is "nothing in particular" view God, religion and morality.

Not a new article, but I find it reassuring sometimes knowing how many people identity as not having a religion.
