Sundog, a memecoin by crypto billionaire Justin Sun, just posted a meme depicting its mascot controlling the White House. Sun has spent (or will shortly spend) a total of $213 million on Trump-connected crypto projects.

I do wish Blue Sky had a dislike button.

Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

ICE agents have arrested nearly 20 immigrants in Norristown during the last two weeks, according to advocates who described an aggressive and ongoing enforcement campaign in the seat of Montgomery County.

The papers all follow a similar template and make misleading claims https://go.nature.com/4kucwEH

Just to be clear, when/if someone says the reconciliation bill the GOP has been debating in the dark of night won’t add to the debt and deficit, that’s a knowing lie.

Don't bother waiting on FEMA, they're not coming.

Unemployed researchers face some tough career choices as they flood the job market after the Trump administration’s cuts to science https://go.nature.com/45hoe0T

16 Dem votes for industry-friendly crypto bill with no brakes on corruption.

Wow. Dems still voting for bad bills.

At Central Library, Brooklyn A Trump exec order bans almost 300 words from being used by federal agencies, the military and any org that receives federal funds. These kinds of "editorial" decisions were popular in Germany in the early 30s. A running list can be found here: pen.org/banned-words...

“‘There’s no way someone would be taking this action if they were aware of the risk to public safety this entails,’ said Rachel Granberg, a union representative for the National Federation of Federal Employees.”

14th Amendment: "ALL PERSONS BORN or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside...." It is not rocket science. It's reading at a fourth grade level.

I agree with @aoc.bsky.social. The math isn't adding up in the Republicans' "big, beautiful bill."

They hide behind ski masks or balaclavas, wearing no badge, sloppy clothes. They threaten anyone who asks for ID or warrant with arrest, leave little kids alone in cars and push around 80-year-old congresswomen Why are ICE agents such cowardly wusses? My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

@delauro.house.gov, the House’s ranking Democrat overseeing funding for the nation’s health systems, breaks down how RFK Jr. is dismantling them.

White South African Racists? "Welcome to America!" Mexican Drug Dealers? "Welcome to America!" 4-year-old girl with cancer? "Get out of here!"

Republicans are planning to finance their tax cuts for the rich by raising taxes on the poor, gutting Medicaid and food stamps, and raising health care costs. w/ @nikkimcr.bsky.social @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Who are these sadistic ICE agents?

Prepping for war in Europe

Remember when we felt all icky about arresting people for brazenly defying Congressional subpoenas, treason, and perjury? These m’f’k’rs don’t seem to share our noble sensibilities. Fascism is here, folks, and our leadership had better pull their heads out of their butts and fight.

I'm sure he'd have plenty to say if this was being offered to Biden.

The Chief Justice helped create this disaster. He needs to help fix it.

Remember when “Barack HUSSEIN Obama” was their terrifying Muslim boogeyman who would destroy democracy? Now they’re defending a $400 million floating palace for their cult leader, courtesy of Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. They didn’t just break the word hypocrisy, they obliterated it.

The man who wanted to ban all Muslims from entering the United States because of terrorism is meeting this week with the former head of Al Qaeda in Syria.

French intelligence has released data on Russia's large-scale espionage and sabotage activities against France. A 16-page report titled "Russian Threats and Actions Against France" refers to cyberattacks, espionage, sabotage and attempts to influence political processes⤵️

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Over 90% of NIOSH employees have received “reduction-in-force” letters, placing them on administrative leave ahead of permanent layoffs.

Congress established NIOSH in 1970 under the Occupational Safety and Health Act to “assure as far as possible every working man and woman in the Nation safe and healthful working conditions and to preserve our human resources.”

part of why white supremacists & the wider right have worked so hard to falsely frame immigration as an "invasion," & why it has manufactured propaganda about a "great replacement," is to create the pretext for precisely this: an authoritarian government that gets to decide who it gets to disappear

How wild that the world's most disruptive political figure (Trump), its richest person (Musk), and its most prominent spiritual leader (Leo) all got their college degrees in and around Philly?

It shouldn't have to be said but if you're law enforcement and you have to cover up your face while doing your job, you are not the good guys in this situation.

lol. she thinks it's a town lending library?

Habemus papam but no habeas corpus??

One privacy advocate called the unprecedented data demands "absolutely alarming" and "reckless." Others warn the data could be used to enable deportation and mass surveillance efforts –– and would do little to address improper SNAP payments.

Let them eat cake!

Where will the innovation come from when #grants to #universities are cut?

This should send shivers down the spine of anyone in the public sector that is charged with protecting critical data and systems. I just couldn't imagine being on the security team when this drops on you....Not going to lie, I'd probably pack my things that day.

It's wild how many points he gets wrong and how many times he contradicts himself in like 30 seconds. you're privacy is assured; it's not private information. um okay.
