"During the 1950s the “Moscow school” of psychiatry, founded by Andrei Snezhnevsky, introduced a classification scheme of syndromes and disorders so comprehensive that just about anyone could find themselves ensnared in a diagnostic trap." aol.com/articles/semyo…

I seriously need some help here. My neighbor just put up this massive metal fence right along our property line and I’m honestly pretty upset about it. It completely changed the whole feel of my driveway and now it looks like I’m pulling into some kind of industrial corridor. I had no idea this was even happening until the thing was already built. It feels like my space just got boxed in overnight. What on earth can I do in a situation like this???

In 2024, @COP_Alaska gave up 68,000 acres in the Arctic as part of a “smaller Willow footprint.”
Yesterday, they bid to lease those same acres again. That “commitment” didn’t even last two years.
The Arctic deserves more than your shifting commitments. #StopWillow #NoArcticLicense

@nettermike Of course the revenue generated will allow more medicaid for illegals, more hotel vouchers, more Somolian day-cares, more homeless programs. Win-win.

@nettermike These recent taxes imposed and proposed in California will solve the "housing crisis" there cuz nobody with $ is going to want to move there.

California Democrats have cooked up a new “Property Transfer Tax” that would charge homeowners 5-6% on every home sale — based on the sale price, not your equity.
That means if your home is worth $700,000 to $1 million — which is common in California — you could get hit with a tax bill of $42,000 to $60,000 just for selling your home!
That’s right: after years of paying your mortgage, property taxes, insurance, and upkeep, Sacramento politicians want to grab tens of thousands more when you sell.

@AshleyHarrell3 "The park was super on board with it and were excited about my responses,” the employee told SFGATE, “but I got a canned response [from the regional level] about how my responses don’t match the ‘administration’s goals’ and how SFGATE isn’t ‘in line with the administration’s view

SFGATE's tenacious reporting on national parks seems to have struck a nerve. We've been blacklisted by the Department of the Interior. sfgate.com/national-parks…

Great coverage from @lruskin on yesterday's record-breaking Western Arctic lease sale.
The scale of the lease sale is striking, but so is what’s behind those numbers: more pressure on caribou habitat, bird migration routes, and the subsistence lifeways tied to this landscape.

Auction for drilling rights in Alaska's Arctic sets new records. Companies bid on 1.3 million acres of the NPR-A, the nation's largest tract of federal land. Some acres are in a previously protected zone around Teshekpuk Lake. alaskapublic.org/news/2026-03-1…

@ChrisMurphyCT You can debate it. Then Trump will ignore you and do whatever he wants.

Luton vs Dearborn
I’ve received multiple messages of Americans who have been fired from the Cargill meat factory in Colorado, interestingly these meat factories have around 25% of their workforce here on TPS.
To me it sounds like when companies bring in thousands of migrants to work, it becomes even harder for locals to have secure employment, and these companies become one of the major contributing factors to complete demographic shifts within once predominantly white Christian places.

@BrandonStraka One oil spill from a rusty old salt eaten oil rig and pipeline and santa barbara is destroyed. Its not worth it. Also, the US is a net exporter of oil. Any extra oil just gets exported. Furthermore, this wont affect calif oil prices. It will be shipped to and refined in Texas.

@atrupar Bullshit and bad choices aside, Bessent seriously has one of the most smackable faces I’ve ever seen in my life.

@atrupar @JuliaDavisNews Thats good. Russia can sell their oil at the new higher price. Thats a win-win. Russia needs money to help with those darn "sanctions."
