Big winter storm rolling in on Tuesday. But my favorite panettone maker FromRoy is having a limited release sold at Torrisi in NYC. How would one get a panettone picked up and sent upstate if they couldn’t travel to get one? We’ve thought of couriers, of course. Seems like a decent and expensive way

This article heavily implies that ICE is being used in a custody dispute to help Karoline Leavitt's brother get his son and have the mother locked up in ICE detention

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.” Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

I voted. On Saturday. Because I want so badly for my vote to make a difference in my little suburb in upstate. If enough of us feel this way, it will make a difference. Go vote.

ICYMI: another federal contract cancelation looks to mean the loss of weather observations from dozens of airport sites, mainly in NC and MD. As of this evening, observations from 15 of the 58 sites listed in an NWS notice of termination were no longer available. More: tinyurl.com/yp57f2ck

Cats don't change their alarm clocks. They are opposed to the time change.

NOAA’s National Weather Service holds the federal responsibility for tsunami warnings, and has historically been a primary supporter of seismic data collection in Alaska

Happy Halloween

We're seeing a massive institutional deportation and state violence apparatus being built and it honestly feels like people dont grasp the sheer scale of it and what already is in place. For every horrific video of masked feds kidnapping people there are so many people pushing paper to help.

“I had hoped that I’d be spared, because I was working to improve public safety and my role was critically tied to [ #tsunami] alerts and early warning. As a probationary employee, I was fired in February. It was torturous.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/c... #NOAA

Well, you can finally cross “I’ve seen a handcuffed, inflatable penis” off your bucket list

Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines. We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.

Free Ori!

We will be going to Clark county jail tonight to support our band member and the others who are being held there after arrest yesterday. Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed. There will be music 🙂🎺

Where’s FEMA?

Hey, Alaska's been hit by a typhoon and no one is talking about it. Indigenous towns are in need of aid. People are missing and the gov't is still shut down. If any creators here are in affected areas, please drop links for aid. #mutualaid #crisis #alaska #typhoonhalong #helpourcountrymen

I wondered when we’d start to see MEP alerts issued for kids who were abducted by federal agents in masks. That certainly fits the description of an alert that would be issued using WEA in some places.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system." This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Trump is saying if Democrats don't bend the knee and let him take health care away from millions, he's just going to turn around and inflict pain by firing American workers and withholding funding from our communities. That’s not governing. That’s a wannabe king taking hostages.

Is to understand in a very visceral, very human way the profound cruelty of a policy that seems to interrupt and complicate and brutalize the lives of ordinary people for the sheer sadistic pleasure of it. Each detention radiates out in its harm and disruption: the two-year-old traumatized, ...

Senator Rand Paul directly and forthrightly takes on JD Vance: "What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial."

The gentleman from Kentucky is right.

Do other academics have the pleasure of attending an annual retreat where you hear about all of the problems facing the dept, college, university, nation and leave feeling more 😔 than when you arrived? We’re only slide 10 into 80 and wow, this is gonna be a long morning.

Ahahaha. The provost at my university decided to centralize post award support in her office. My college has asked for this kind of college level support for 5 years. Nope. 😂

📽️ WATCH: Student Kenneth Santizo captured ICE and FBI officers stopping a family on their way to church in the Boston suburbs. Agents broke the window, forced Daniel Flores-Martinez to his knees and slammed him to the ground while his children and his wife, a U.S. citizen, sobbed in the car.

Already seeing hallucinated references in peer-reviewed papers with otherwise good quality, i.e. researchers using AI for literature review portions. Add it to the already massive pile of problems with our publishing norms.

People in NYC/NJ seem — yes that was an earthquake. A small one, but still. Tell USGS if you felt it here: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

The witch hunts of 1400-1780 and today's misinformation crisis have striking parallels. Both were fueled by new media technologies that allowed false information to spread rapidly and widely. buff.ly/6RFALyJ By Julie Walsh @wellesley.edu

Just a few months ago, I did an entire piece about how the Trump administration is completely gutting our tsunami warning infrastructure and endangering lives… heatmap.news/adaptation/t...

A revision to M8.8 by the USGS. This earthquake off the coast of Russia is now the strongest observed across the globe since 2010. Only 5 stronger earthquakes have been measured by humans. Tsunami Warning remains in effect for Hawaii with an ETA of 7:17pm HST

Woah. FEMA posted the NOFO for 2025. I am so surprised I nearly fell out of my seat.

Just in case anyone was wondering where science funding is going...

"Warm nighttime temperatures, especially 80F or warmer, do not allow people to recover from daytime heat. When warm low temperatures are combined with high humidity, conditions can become dangerous, if not deadly, even in the middle of the night." #ClimateSky #heatwave weather.com/safety/heat/...

It's terrible that so many local authorities primarily attempt to communicate to the public via Twitter and Facebook, even for emergency alerts. A long read by @faineg.bsky.social little-flying-robots.ghost.io/we-have-to-s...

Why this comment has weight: Historically AccuWeather's politics have been right-wing. As Sen, Rick Santorum tried to forbid Natl Weather Service from making "consumer-friendly" forecasts, so AccuWeather could sell them. Trump tried to appoint AcWx head to run NOAA www.cnn.com/2017/10/14/p...
