A group of former NOAA employees have recreated a valuable climate-science database shuttered last year by Trump. The new site, climate.us, preserves climate science previously housed at climate.gov, including data, reports, articles, and congressionally mandated national climate assessments.

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

RFK Jr might want to read this study before continuing to claim that people who died from COVID would have died soon, anyway. UK study determines that most of those who died at 65 and older were unlikely to have been close to death journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Everyone who thinks measles is no big deal - starting with RFK jr - needs to read this first hand account of watching a child die of SSPE, a devastating complication that occurs years later. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/o...

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

Phone weather apps are inaccurate. Those apps are fully automated and use algorithms that aren’t “sufficiently dynamic,” @weatherwest.bsky.social @ucanr.edu said — and in a nutshell, they’re lacking human expertise and customization behind the scenes.

Looking forward to talking with @hcrichardson.bsky.social today about education history, politics, and policy—live 2pm today! www.youtube.com/live/wfejjv_...

A lesson for other cities: In Minnesota, as ICE moved In, residents set up a shadow medical system—& for good reason: ICE is still camped out in hospitals & ICE drones fly over Minneapolis & beyond. Doctors & nurses are quietly operating underground medical networks, dodging detection👇

Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.

😕

This is horrifying. No wonder tourism to the US is dropping.

Of so many things to be infuriated about, this is perhaps my biggest gripe. Pancreatic cancer patients, who face a future without hope, are being denied a potential game-changing therapy www.mskcc.org/news/can-mrn...

But what about the Epstein survivors seated in that room listening to the U.S. attorney general shrug off this massive, vile scandal? What about their pain or anger or exhaustion as Bondi told lawmakers to just be happy the rich are getting richer? My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

HAHAHAHAAA! Yeah, that’s such a good point! She was asking about the child victims of rape and sexual abuse by wealthy men who think such horrors are funny. Why can’t people just lighten up?!? Smug, couch-banging jagoff.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today. This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

#Chicago is a raging inferno of COVlD right now. The CDC places Illinois in "Very High" transmission, especially in Chicago. We estimate that 1 in 17 residents statewide are actively infectious. If people are not testing or isolating, there is a 78% chance of exposure in a room of 25 people.

Last year I mailed my property tax payment on the due date at the drive-up mailbox before 5 pm at my local post office -but I was dinged for late payment. I learned the post office no longer automatically postmarks mail the day you put it in the box. You have to take mail inside and ask for this!

Just plain old 💩 GOP things again.

That perfect holiday gift might not exist. Scammers are using AI to create convincing fake products and stores. Bellingcat's @koltai.bsky.social reveals 10 real examples found online — plus quick, practical checks to help you spot what’s real before it’s too late. www.youtube.com/watch?v=txcN...

R.F.K. Jr. Likely to Swap U.S. Childhood Vaccine Schedule for Denmark’s Shifting to Denmark’s outlier model means cutting vaccines for RSV, flu, rotavirus, chickenpox,meningitis and hep A&B. “They’re going to bring back suffering and death,” said Dr. Sean O’Leary. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/h...

Today I received FOUR death notifications for people in ICE custody. That's 30 deaths since Trump took office. It's appalling & unacceptable.   ICE is required—by law—to ensure detainees are safe & their basic needs are met. It's clear this isn't the case. We NEED answers.

In Sydney Australia, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met with Ahmed al-Ahmed, and described him as “the best of our country."

The assault weapons ban expired in 2004 after 10 years. What other factors are behind the huge rise in US mass shootings compared to other countries, especially in the past decade, depicted in this graphic?

We are failing our kids

😷🧪🛟

Prasad, Makary and others who claim that COVID19 vaccines killed 10 children are not telling the truth. According to @jeremyfaust.bsky.social, the committee that worked on this question reported that there were ZERO deaths that they were certain were caused by the vaccines. Well worth reading.

By throwing millions off their insurance, the GOP thinks people will finally support repealing the ACA. They're underestimating how many people are paying attention. They want us to suffer, physically and financially, to "own the libs." I'm so fucking angry. People will die. People will go bankrupt.

In incident after incident, experts said, immigration and Border Patrol agents routinely took actions that not only infuriated civil libertarians and everyday residents but broke urban policing protocols meant to limit danger for suspects, protesters, passersby and even officers themselves.

Breaking News! Code Yikes! Based on the current forecast for the rest of the year, it's looking like 2025 will likely end up being the 3rd warmest year in the last 120,000+ years: 2023: 1.48°C 2024: 1.60°C 2025 (thru Dec. 7): 1.47°C www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

A post on what parents need to know after the CDC vaccine committee's vote on hepatitis B vaccine, from @judysquirrels.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/judyst...

This is happening to my elderly mom. It’s maddening!

NEW: A Harvard study found that the children of women who contracted COVID-19 while pregnant may be at an increased risk for autism and other neurodevelopmental diagnoses, raising new concerns about the CDC’s decision to stop recommending the vaccine to pregnant women.

“How big a threat is AI to quality children’s publishing, and does it also threaten children’s learning?”

absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

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?

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Salient info to share from Moody's: Every dollar spent on #SNAP food stamps generates $1.74 in economic growth. But every Federal dollar lost on rolling tax rates back to Bush-era levels only creates 0.32 in economic growth -- that's a 68-cent loss on investment govtbenefits.org/why-do-food-...

A Tennessee man spent five weeks in jail for posting a meme quoting Donald Trump. Not threatening violence. Not spreading lies. Just using the former president’s own words. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

#Medsky🧪 Be wary of what you read. A 🇰🇷 study did not claim that #COVID19 💉 causes cancer. However, SoMe ‘influencers’ misused its results to spread misinformation widely. www.aljazeera.com/features/202.... science.feedback.org/review/south.... biomarkerres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

hi portland oregon here. my property taxes are more than my mortgage. i don't mind that except that we can't pay that tax and also pay for medical insurance. how does this make sense?
