Not only is this rude, inappropriate, partisan, costly, and illegal, it reveals the fundamentally anti-American idiocy of this administration’s policy of handing over to China the most important economic sector of the 21st century.

Carole Cadwalladr is an amazing journalist who broke the Cambridge Analytica story and survived the aftermath (you can read all about it on her Substack). Last year, when UK’s Guardian (where she’d worked for two decades) sold out, she was dumped.

Want to know what makes America great? Look at anything the Republican administration is cutting and you’ll find an example.

Sick and dead pets.
Mystery illness.
Horrific accident taking the lives of two shining lights.
Fascism, ICE, lies, corruption.
Gaza.

Every line in this song, written years ago but just recorded for the first time, reflects my own thoughts. I have it on repeat.

It’s catchy, too. Listen.

“Tell Me It’s Okay points a middle finger at Silicon Valley for its turn to the dark side. Tech used to empower us, but now it spies on us and manipulates us,” said Roger McNamee, who wrote TMIOK.

“ABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.”

That’s the German professional association of journalists, @djv.de, calling on major US media to support their journalists instead of preemptively silencing them.

casually mentioned to someone under 25 that it used to be legal to smoke in restaurants and I think someday people are going to have that same look of horror and disbelief on their faces when we tell them we used to hand iPads to babies

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

The adamant elite refusal to call bullshit is a big part of How We Got Here.

The prevailing cultural attitude for years is you must not, under any circumstances, treat anything as bad faith. You are obligated to find some reasonable idea and engage with that, even if you distort to get there.

🚨ACTION OF THE DAY🚨
@standupforscience.bsky.social

Day 6! Leave a public comment opposing the repeal of the EPA Endangerment Finding.

✍️ Comment here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/EP...

🧠 Learn more here: www.cnn.com/2025/08/03/p...

🌿 Here is a script (copy and paste alt text for ease!)
#31days

Use and adapt our drafted comment below or write your own!

I strongly oppose the proposed repeal of the Endangerment Finding. The science is clear: greenhouse gases unequivocally harm our health and our environment. Weakening or repealing the Endangerment Finding will make it harder, and costlier to protect our communities from pollution and from the effects of climate change.

Optional: I care about this issue because [insert your personal reasoning here -e.g. "my father has COPD," "I recently lost my home to a devastating hurricane"]

I urge you to keep the Endangerment Finding in place and to apply science to protect our health and our environment for generations to come.

****Remember, if you want to cite research to upload the paper as a file.****

The White House has instructed NASA to terminate two major, climate change-focused satellite missions. They've been collecting widely-used data, providing both oil and gas companies and farmers with detailed information about the distribution of carbon dioxide and how it can affect crop health.
