The new Reading 'warming stripes' double-decker electric bus came to campus today. The bus is painted in the local warming stripes to start climate conversations throughout the town.

It’s almost like expertise is fucking important.

When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.

Saying "it's a distraction" is saying you care nothing for the little girls bombed out of existence for being born where they were. Epstein, ICE, Iran - all of it - are Crimes against Humanity by the MAGA Murder Regime. Praying for the people of Iran and an end to this hell.

“The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.

Fuck Trump. Fuck the puppeteers behind him. Fuck the GOP, especially congressional Republicans and quisling Democrats, who enabled him. Fuck the people who voted for this, and fuck the media for never reporting on him realistically. Fuck them all, for they have truly fucked us and the world.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

Tehran is a city of nine million people, with 17 million in the larger metropolitan area. Saturday is the first day of the week for Iranians. Millions of people are at work, and children are in school.

Instagram, TikTok and Facebook are actively shutting down anti-Israel views or criticism of the illegal war with Iran; X (Twitter) is manipulating the narrative by boosting MAGA and Israeli accounts while limiting the view of others. It’s a full censorship regime on US media.

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime. You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

No congress, no constitution, and a king. What a way to celebrate 250 years.

I'm furious at every single person who put this man back in office.

The NWS Storm Prediction Center's severe weather outlooks will be changing slightly next week. Meteorologists Evan Bentley and Liz Leitman, our experts at SPC, provide an update about the new conditional intensity outlook.

"Years ago, we tore up a nuclear peace deal w/Iran. Months ago, we bombed Iran & "obliterated" their nuke capabilities. And now, we might just have to go to war with Iran bc of their nuke capabilities." -the ppl who tore up the nuclear peace deal w/Iran

Incredible. Another one for the "these idiots always take every word literally" files. They think "climate prediction" means "climate change forecasts".

Trump lies: "I don't know anything about the Epstein files. I've been fully exonerated."

Oh hey, this sounds familiar encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/t...

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Fuck this and everyone who helped get things to this point. Trans rights are human rights—full stop.

So they’re going to cripple healthcare for the poor in Minnesota to make an example of the state. The warning is “don’t resist.”

Pulling this shit while the president extracts billions for his family and is currently demanding taxpayers give him $10 billion is pretty goddamned rich.

All of this stuff is so pathetic, so childish. It is just grandpa's Facebook slop. And yet

Again, this is a problem that neither more laws nor more court rulings can fix. These people don't follow laws & court rulings. Everyone is just kidding themselves, because it's really uncomfortable to acknowledge that there is only one solution under our system & it has zero chance of being used.

It’s cool how we are on the verge of war with Iran and barely any coverage notes Trump has no authorization to go to war with Iran.

The President is taking a *pre-noon* nap. In public. At his big event. On World Peace. This will go mostly unremarked upon outside here. Meanwhile, the commentary class thinks it deeply important to inform you that AOC said "uhm" a few times in response to a question on the same topic a few days ago

It needs to be said clearly that it would be absolutely insane for the United States to start a war of aggression against Iran. If anyone thinks that Trump gives a rip about democracy or human rights you are kidding yourself. It’ll be another campaign of domination and plunder.

Roses are red Violets are nice Nazis are bad Abolish ICE

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

A sudden 10 day closure of airspace in a major US city like El Paso should be THE STORY, with nothing else getting any air time until at minimum someone within the US government says what’s happening and why. It barely even registers on CNN’s site. It’s literally the last item before the page ends.

Well they keep 'accidentally' detaining Americans so yeah they're going to need a fucking warrant

How much do you HATE the constant, non-stop, annoying, childish, WHINING, COMPLAINING and perpetual VICTIMNESS of Trump and his lackeys?

The US where we're building detention centers for people who might not have done anything wrong, but we can't put the child rapists on trial & in prison.

Imagine being the most powerful man in the world and being this much of a whiney victim BITCH. Good god what a child

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

Puerto Ricans have been fighting for energy democracy - the right to control their grid locally and build the clean energy future on the island - for decades. If you want to support an incredible effort, get plugged into the work led by Queremos Sol! queremossolpr.org

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade. The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances. Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S. Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

The *best version* of the Epstein scandal is that a wide swathe of American elites was palling around with a known child predator and explicit eugenicist for years on end — and is now closing ranks to downplay the severity of his crimes and their own complicity.

I wish folks would quit reporting that it’s too classified to send to Congress. No it’s not. That is Gabbard’s EXCUSE for obstructing it.

After reading this, a better headline is “Trump and Gabbard Obstruct Whistleblower for 8 Months Citing Executive Privilege and Claiming it’s “Too Classified for Congress.”

This incident alone would have triggered hearings and probably a senior-level resignation in another administration.

straight up Gestapo shit

Warehouses are built for boxes, not bodies. They’re prone to extreme temperature fluctuations. Scorching in the summer. Freezing in the winter. They’re not designed for people to live in. They’re not designed for children. They’re not designed for long-term confinement.

I’m not sure if people realize just how brutal this level of cold will be for Floridians… this level of cold may bring potentially significant damage to citrus farms in the state, and wind chills this low are absolutely a risk to life. I suspect this snap will give 2010 a run for its money.

@agu.org has a tool to help you submit a comment to NSF on the importance of NCAR: agu.quorum.us/campaign/154... #SaveNCAR

What sits with me after this week of #AMS2026 is that despite everything we’ve seen over the last 12 months, the science is resilient. It is hurt and handicapped and hamstrung but it endures. And the students, despite EVERYTHING **still** want to work for NWS or in broadcasting.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Ready to get serious at #AMS2026? Let's get f---ing serious at #AMS2026 10:45am CT Grand Ballroom B

The WRN "What-if" session was great once again. I wish we could find ways to do a little more of that broader interaction and discussion in other sessions instead of just being "talked at" with 5 or 6 packed presentations in 1.25 hours or 4 panelists just talking. #AMS2026
