Immigrants Detained in Chicago Military-Style Raid Seek Millions in Damages
---

New accounts from 17 men, women and children taken in a midnight raid paint a violent, terrifying portrait of the federal agents’ alleged actions. These descriptions form the basis of claims filed this week against DHS and other federal agencies.

I’m proud to once again endorse @ValHoyle for Congress.

As a union member, Val understands the needs of America's working class and has been an ally in the fight for a living wage, workers' rights and protecting Social Security.

I urge Oregonians to send Val back to Congress.

"US officials have said a nuclear detonation would render portions of low-Earth orbit useless for up to a year."

Tragically and comically optimistic. Apparently this prediction only includes ionizing radiation problems, not the spectacular cloud of orbit-denying fragments that inevitably will propagate from thousands of "noncooperative" spacecraft with their trajectories shaped by the vagaries of gravity anomalies etc.

I wanted to ask the Fediverse, has anyone here dealt with pulsative tinnitus? I’ve had it off and on for two months, not severe, only when I am sleeping at certain points. My ear doc has run hearing tests and said that I could get an MRI if I would like. Maybe it’s time to do so, and also get to know a cardiologist just because I’m not a kid anymore.

He thinks I may have otosclerosis, which that doesn’t worry me. But it’s the same ear.

I don’t have high blood pressure, quite the opposite.

Anyway, I’m a little nervous. Thank you. #fediask #tinnitus

CNN: As the US starves it of oil, Cuba is pulling off one of the fastest solar revolutions on the planet — with China’s help

"...Cuba is struggling with devastating nationwide blackouts as the United States’ effective oil blockade strangles fuel supplies. But this crisis may also be accelerating a China-backed clean energy revolution that’s been quietly unfolding in the Caribbean nation. ..."

I am really struggling and need silly, delightful, joyful things to concentrate on.
