elle<p>when people argue with me about due process and how they'd be fine bc they're citizens, I just say "You can't prove you have the right papers if you go straight to prison and never get to show anyone your papers" and then most of them get it</p>

Permaculture and Politics<p>Today I was warned by the Veterans Administration Office of Community Care that this time they are sure: many of my Veteran patients really are going to lose benefits. The VA is recommending they seek care from home health and hospice, as well as on Medicaid waiver programs. But these programs are also likely to be cut dramatically. These men are elderly, have ptsd and war wounds, and they deserve to have the care that was promised them. I am 😡😤😢🤬! <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/veterans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>veterans</span></a></p>

BrianKrebs<p>This is from my home state senator Mark Warner (D-Va), one of the few lawmakers in Congress who's demonstrated a keen understanding of cybersecurity issues. Warner was responding to POTUS' firing of Gen. Timothy Haugh, the commander of the US Cyber Command/NSA director at the behest of a far-right conspiracy theorist.</p><p>"“General Haugh has served our country in uniform, with honor and distinction, for more than 30 years. At a time when the United States is facing unprecedented cyber threats, as the Salt Typhoon cyberattack from China has so clearly underscored, how does firing him make Americans any safer?"</p><p>“It is astonishing, too, that President Trump would fire the nonpartisan, experienced leader of the National Security Agency while still failing to hold any member of his team accountable for leaking classified information on a commercial messaging app – even as he apparently takes staffing direction on national security from a discredited conspiracy theorist in the Oval Office.”</p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/us/politics/trump-meeting-laura-loomer.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nytimes.com/2025/04/03/us/poli</span><span class="invisible">tics/trump-meeting-laura-loomer.html</span></a></p>

David Ho<p>Happy Liberation Day to all who celebrate the release of money from your retirement accounts into thin air.</p>
Dan Gillmor<p>NY Times is publicly baffled that Trump's tariffs don't apply to Russia. This would be grimly laughable, but then again it's the Times we're talking about.</p>

an actual bus<p>I never understood why so many men associate with imagery of predatory animals.</p><p>My idealized version of my own masculinity is best represented by a tree. Patient. Immensely endurant. Self-sufficient. Unbothered by trivial, ephemereal affairs.

Gabe Ortíz<p>“After arresting and jailing the young woman in Georgia, Tifton police subjected her to one more indignity—they sent the remains of her miscarriage for an ‘autopsy’.
