The stats show only 13% of the people ICE has apprehended were criminal and most of those were for misdemeanors.

“The tanker Grinch will leave French waters after paying several million euros and spending 3 weeks in costly immobilization in Fos-sur-Mer. Circumventing European sanctions comes at a price.

That’s where the violence starts. Day in, day out, the ongoing torrent of lies assaults basic human decency. Fact is, this is going on because a non negligible tranche of the electorate are fine with this. They know these are lies, but until they personally feel the pain, nothing will change.

Trump’s atrocious economic approval ratings might be the “greatest” rejection of a president’s economic performance since Herbert Hoover.
Trump declared last week, “We have the greatest economy actually ever in history.” “Greatest actually ever” for whom? Certainly, he and billionaire pals have had the “greatest” accumulation of wealth in shortest time during the worst period of corruption we've known open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Astronomers have used #NASAWebb—most powerful infrared telescope to date—to search for brown dwarfs at very low masses in a nearby nebula that contains newborn stars.

Join Dr. Kevin Luhman (Penn State) for a discussion on the surprising aspect of these new brown dwarfs on Feb. 24, at 7 p.m. ET. 🔭
Discovering the Least-Massive Brown Dwarfs Known with the James Webb Space Telescope
Stars exist across a wide range of masses, some more massive than the Sun and some less massive. If a star is less massive than roughly 8% of the Sun's mass, or 80 times the mass of Jupiter, its center is too cool to sustain hydrogen fusion. These stars...

#PPOD: Astronomers have captured images of a star other than the Sun in enough detail to track the motion of bubbling gas on its surface. The images of the star R Doradus were obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in July and August 2023. 🧪 🔭
