In what the Union of Concerned Scientists called "an attack on independent science," the Trump administration has purged all information about human causes of climate change from EPA websites.

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy. Enough to power 23 million homes! U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

Gonna go to the airport in my suit and then do a big workout, as sean duffy ordered

The stories of pregnant women in ICE detention — one shackled while miscarrying, another placed in solitary confinement with a high-risk pregnancy — are not one offs. They're a clear pattern of neglect where ICE ignores its own rules. This cruelty must end.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

A very worthwhile read. If we actually applied the "common sense" that politicians love to tout, pragmatic reforms like a government-run payment system would be on the table. But imagine the uproar if Dems pitched this. No way do they have the stomach for that fight.

So, to all the "RFK's got some good ideas" folks (Rachael Bedard, Leana Wen) and Jay Bhattacharya is "an excellent choice for NIH" (Steven Macedo, Frances Lee) and Vinay Prasad "will bring a breath of fresh air to FDA" (Adam Cifu, John Mandrola) groupies--you own this now too.

"Environmental Protection Agency" in name, polluter protection agency in deed: www.eenews.net/articles/epa...

I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.

In February 1931, Albert Einstein was inducted as an honorary member of the Hopi nation in a ceremony conducted at Hopi House on the south rim of the Grand Canyon. The Hopi elders who conducted the ceremony cited Einstein for his commitment to peace and the fraternity of nations on earth.

Yes! Every study on coffee is like, “Scientists set out to find the health risks of coffee, but instead discovered it cures beri beri and gives your hair luster.”

We should all be thinking about how many people, groups and countries they're taunting and provoking and what the blowback may be

In Trump America, Kennedys kill you

Drugs: Kill so many Americans that we gotta take extreme action to save lives Guns:

This clickbait worked on me because you never know when you might need to keep 2600 diamonds on your head

“Today is a defining moment for our country,” @mtosterholm.bsky.social, a public health expert at the University of Minnesota, said. “We can no longer trust federal health authorities when it comes to vaccines.” 🧪 #giftlink www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/h...

"One of the key challenges for caregivers dealing with “time poverty” is finding space in their day for anything else — their own health concerns or new credentials that could put them on a more secure financial footing. The Art of Care tries to eliminate some of that friction."

The original White House--like the Capitol--was deliberately NOT garish.They were supposed to reflect republican governance: not monarchies, not aristocracies.They were supposed to show a commitment to We the People. The current decorations are the precise opposite. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

"DACA recipients are being arrested despite deportation protection," writes Valerie Gonzalez for the @ap. apnews.com/article/daca...

we are all going to be in deep, deep trouble, healthwise, if we do not stop these maniacs

If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more. www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

Devastating. Trump admin selling off historic public art to the highest bidder. "It is a tragic irony that murals meant to represent the contract between the government and its citizens would be sold to the highest bidder rather than preserved for posterity." www.alternet.org/trump-destro...

Listen, if you tell me that “taxation is theft” I’m going to need you to quit driving on highways or walking on sidewalks or attending a public school or using police or fire services or city snow removal. I would mention libraries, but…

The Pentagon reporters who have been kicked out of the building continue to break huge stories every day while the right-wing New Media continue to post selfies of themselves hanging out in the Pentagon.

Read these words. This is your country doing this: “Pregnant & postpartum women report starving in ICE custody, freezing cells, invasive procedures, miscarriages, their pleas for help going unanswered.” Thank you @rfkhumanrights.bsky.social @the-independent.com for shining a light on these horrors

Trump used to be the best person to sell his own bullshit. In fact, that was his one and only talent. Now he's begging for help with his propaganda.

my most dad-core belief is that the IRA should have been called the Defeat Inflation Program (DIP) so that it better paired with the other signature Biden policy -- the CHIPS act.

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved. Don't look up!

The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time." Full article: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker. Just to level set

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

The US is now insulting and pissing off the entire world, what could possibly go wrong

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood. She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

‪And saw this #treebybike @citibikenyc.bsky.social edition on the Hudson River Greenway. 💙🎄💖‬

imagine what we could be doing if the federal government wasn't actively trying to throttle the growth of this industry

Awful. Trump admin is deporting a 23-year-old NC woman who came here at the age of 14 as an unaccompanied minor. Her father was murdered and mother died of cancer. All she has are two traffic citations, per this report from Charlotte Observer's Dan Kane: www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

I am grateful that this Thanksgiving will not require my presence on the Long Island Expressway, the New Jersey Turnpike, the 405, or any goddamn airport in America

“I had to take the baby from my crying wife’s arms.“ It hasn’t even been a year, and this is not a scandal anymore? What is wrong with us?

Another baby has just died of whooping cough in Kentucky, thanks to RFK Jr. and his merry band of anti-vaxxers. My feeling toward RFK Jr. and the Republican Senators who confirmed him is utter contempt.

Everyone knows data centers use a ton of water. What hardly anyone knows: they can poison the water that remains. And in eastern Oregon, Amazon is doing exactly that.

I'm smiling

we need to run 10 more op eds about how dems are out of touch with regular people while republicans are publicly beefing with prominent astronauts

What our government is doing to families who follow the rules. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

All the government funding that used to help with vaccines was rededicated to invent the Anti-Lemon, a fruit with all the same properties as a lemon except it can give you scurvy. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

This week we learned that many of the most active Twitter accounts are foreigners, most likely Russian influence agents, operating in the guise of Red State Americans.

Guys my bingo card I think was just printed wrong.
