Trump IS bamboozled about Greenland, it is NOT a huge country. It appears large because it is displayed using a Mercator projection (created in 1569 by Geradus Mercator for navigation). Mercator maps distort land area nearest the poles. A problem when flattening a globe. truesizeofcountries.com

Somewhere in Minnesota, a young girl is hiding in an attic with her family – journaling with hope.

May we not disappoint her.

Crazy how recent her act of defiance & arrest was, esp given the current state of affairs. Seventy years seems like a long time, but in relation to history it’s nothing.

Claudette Colvin, who refused to move seats on a bus at start of civil rights movement, dies at 86
Civil rights pioneer Claudette Colvin has died. She was 86. Her 1955 arrest for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated Montgomery bus helped spark the modern civil rights movement.

Precisely. Folks are quick to blame Machado, but how about Trump? Extortion is not a pretty thing.

Wow! Yay! The Senate just rejected Trump’s proposed science cuts, voting 82–15 to boost funding for NOAA, NASA, and the NSF. The bill already passed the House 397–28. Strong bipartisan support for science still exists.

The U.S. Senate voted on Thursday to approve billions of dollars in funding for federal science agencies, rejecting deep cuts proposed by President Donald Trump in space and other areas.

Let's be honest. This is a Trump/Bondi decision. The headline should have read:

"US Injustice Department to inquire into Minnesota leaders for alleged conspiracy to obstruct ICE"

I've always felt this was, at least, partly true. Can be extrapolated to also be a reason why #China dominated cleantech too - something that most #climate & #environment groups don't want to acknowledge.
