If you are ever asked to do war crimes as a member of the US armed forces, what you want to do is get authorization and signed indemnity in writing from your commanding officer detailing exactly what they are asking you to do, and then CC that document to mail@icj-cij.org and refuse.

American Service-Members' Protection Act - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Hague Invasion Act, formally known as the American Service-Members’ Protection Act, is a U.S. law enacted in 2002 that allows the President to use military force to free American military personnel and allies detained by the International Criminal Court (ICC). It also prohibits U.S. cooperation with the ICC and restricts military aid to countries that are members of the ICC.

hey just a heads up, oreo is doing this as a distraction so you won’t notice the boycott on oreos and their parent company, mondelez. along with Nestle, and proctor & gamble

they’re being boycotted because the harvesting of palm oil and sugar cane for their products, like oreos, kit kats, smarties, ritz, herbal essences, pantene (products being boycotted) is all harming the indigenous Melanesian communities of West Papua New Guinea. the way that these products are being harvested is straight up ecocide. the communities’ rivers are poisoned. their forests are being cleared with nothing left

we NEED to care, boost the power of the Melanesian communities, speak up about it, and save their communities and this earth.

you can make oreos at home y'all

genuinely they have probably saved people.

they HAVE saved people actually i’m 100% sure of that. i’ve learned about so many recalls i would’ve had no idea about otherwise !!!! from the bottom of all of our hearts thank you mamoru

aw shucks, thank YOU! what a pick me up!

when I was younger, I got food poisoning. I was supposed to recover from it, but I wound up with a bunch of nasty medical conditions instead. I never imagined I would become disabled from food.

so I am really glad I have been able to help spread the word every now and then about food safety and recalls, since it hopefully means a few less people going through what I have.

while I have your attention, I do not post every recall, even just for the US, so here are a few of the links I use!

• recalls.gov/recent.html <- aggregate of official government recall links for the US! food, drugs, products, child safety seats, motor vehicles, and tires! (half the feeds are broken half the time, but hey, it works™! check the FDA enforcement reports for a more complete list of recalls, especially drug recalls!)
• recalls for canada <- recalls for canada!
• RASFF <- food recalls and safety alerts for the EU!
• food safety news <- news about food safety in the US, canada, and around the world!
• I was poisoned <- see where people have gotten food poisoning near you, and report your own! (worldwide!)

thanks for reading, stay safe and take care!

I feel like “trump wants to throw away literal dinosaur fossils” would really turn heads if we actually had a functional opposition party in this country to get messages out, but I guess I’ll just have to get a paint pen and write it on my car. fine, I’ll do it.

Trump and friends are trying to get rid of IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Science, USA Federal agency). Everyone is on leave/in admin limbo while the DOGE kids do whatever and lock people out of their emails. Already-awarded federal grants (that’s how I get paid) for museums and libraries are now being terminated early via executive order. Museums are already closing (to be fair it has been bad for decades) and a lot of large and delicate fossil material will need new homes with space and funding, which almost no one has. It’s bad. I don’t know what to do except to keep working and occasionally scream into the internet.

Not trying to be a bummer, but this is pretty much the only thing anyone at my job can think about right now. I can only speak for museums, but specimens need periodical tending or they will decay or get lost. Grant funding is how we do everything: it’s how temporary workers get paid, how we get access to subscription-based software, and it’s how we buy new label paper for cripes’ sake. We are still fighting, but everyone is honestly loopy with stress all the time now. People should know what they are destroying.

Entire staff at federal agency that funds libraries and museums put on leave

The staff of the Institute of Museum and Library Services was placed on administrative leave Monday morning, following a meeting between IML

Luigi Mangione has been locked up since December 2024, and he’s been met with nothing but the violation of his rights every step of the way. Luigi’s right to be treated humanely is constantly violated, as is his right to the presumption of innocence and a fair trial. Evidence is not being provided to his legal team, and he’s being treated with prejudice by law enforcement.

Luigi is not a handsome face and a few jokes online. He is a real human being with real pain and real health issues. Luigi is a young man fighting for his life and the media is doing nothing but trying to sexualize him and make light of his situation.

Luigi has already lost so much to this, and although he remains resilient, it’s important to remember that his circumstances can’t possibly be good. It’s also important to remember that if they can do it to Luigi, they can do it to more people, to your loved one, to you.

So please, keep talking about Luigi. Keep standing by Luigi. Keep supporting Luigi.

Never let Luigi Mangione walk alone.

They’re scared because they know that the public is with Luigi.

They’re violating his rights because they need to maintain capitalism.

Keep talking about Luigi.

Exclusive: Intelligence Dossier Compares Luigi Mangione to ‘Robin Hood’

The document from a state fusion center cites high health care costs as a key source of instability in the country.

The American Prospect

“The dossier adds that the public ‘may view the ensuing manhunt and subsequent arrest of Mangione as NYPD, and largely policing as a whole, as a tool that is willing to expend massive resources to protect the wealthy, while the average citizen is left to their own means for personal security.’”

I’m seeing a bunch of posts that make me think most USAmericans don’t know about The No Surprises Act.

It was passed in 2021 (thank you Biden) and essentially states that if you don’t have insurance or your insurance doesn’t cover a service you need (or want) you are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate of the cost of care. (If your insurance does cover the service, you should be able to estimate the cost of care based on your deductible and co-pay.)

As a healthcare provider who does not accept any insurance, I am very careful to not violate The No Surprises Act. Why? Because for every penny more than $400 that the Good Faith Estimate was “off” (or if it wasn’t provided), you are entitled to a refund for that amount.

Y’all. Ask for a Good Faith Estimate. Get it in writing. Compare it to what you are paying. If you are not provided an estimate or if it’s wrong by more than $400, demand a refund.
