A federal judge in Ohio ruled against the Trump administration Monday, citing bigoted comments President Trump and Vice President JD Vance made about immigrants.

U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley ordered the White House to unfreeze immigrants’ benefit applications, citing Trump and Vance’s “outright hostility towards immigrants, both before and after the 2024 presidential elections.” These applications include filings for work authorization and green cards from people in the U.S. from countries including Burma, Canada, Iran, Nigeria, Syria, Tanzania, and Venezuela.

“Their ire appears focused on immigrants from countries in the Caribbean, South America, Africa, and Asia,” Marbley, nominated to the federal bench by President Clinton in 1997, wrote.

The Federal Communications Commission will vote to eliminate a rule that requires Internet service providers to list all of their so-called “passthrough” fees on an easily accessible broadband price label. The FCC vote could also make the price labels themselves a bit harder for consumers to find.

ISPs routinely advertise prices much lower than those actually charged to consumers on their monthly bills. One method of raising monthly bill prices above advertised rates is to tack on fees that, ISPs claim, are used to offset charges imposed by local governments.

Fields of grain sorghum aka milo as far as the eye can see. Cotton, milo, feed corn everywhere.

Sorghum gets used for a lot of stuff but the sorghum grown here is mostly used as feed for cattle and pigs, biomass for renewable diesel and biodiesel, and ethanol production for fuel adultering.

This particular part of the field is a week or so out from being harvested. It's still too orange/rusty looking. It'll turn a red/purple hue when it's fully ready. Corn was harvested last month. Cotton is probably next month. Most of the fields will go fallow until next summer but some of the currently fallow fields will get some cotton, Milo, or corn planted. It's hot enough here we have two growing seasons.

Now think about the amount of storage we will have 45 years from now.

Looks like a widdle wandword needs to be purwged right meow!

We're acquiring a new cat but as much as I say that she very clearly decided she's ours now. Like we hung out like 3 times and she already decided she lives here and tried to barge on in 🙄 like, girl, i know i'm amazing and full of pets and good food, but chill! 🙄

My partner who has all our money decided it's worth it to have her get her shots done and spayed and whatnot, so we have an appointment for Friday to take her in

She's a sweet little tuxedo cat baby who is tall and skinny and the exact opposite of our current tuxedo cat, Mary Jane, who is very fat (AND MEAN). We're calling her squidward, our lil squiddie, because she meows in a way that sounds exactly like his voice

Hopefully everything goes okay and she doesn't have any horrible cat diseases. I'm worried she's pregnant, again (she has visible signs of recent pregnancy, swollen mammaries etc) but aside from that she seems fairly healthy

Also i think cats might be racist against tuxedo cats? Like she saw Mary jane and HISSED. But saw our little black cat and was chill. Then she saw herself in a mirror and HISSED, lol

Who could possibly have possibly predicted this would end in disaster? /s

Suuuuuuuure, buddy.

Not the best photo, sorry.

Out here in the farmlands as the mailbox money the farmers depend on from a scattering of oil pumpjacks here and there dries up because the oil fields no longer sustain the draw in them a lot of the farmers turn to windmills on their fields for supplemental income instead. Roughly spaced about 15 acres apart.

For whatever reason, the power generated by this field isn't even distributed locally. Instead, it's gets sent 200 miles north to San Antonio and then further on to Austin.

definitely not just uploading a picture of one of my plants because i forgot about this mega
