My father is in urgent need. I have no way to cover his $200 weekly treatment or even the basic necessities we struggle to provide. Life is becoming harder every single day, and we are under unbearable pressure. Any help, even the smallest amount, could truly save my father

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”
Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?

What makes me angriest about the fake AI videos where people yell at ICE is that there’s a million actual videos, there’s actual priests being pelted with pepper balls, it’s just that the real priest didn’t say “we worship the real God not your ORANGE one” so he wasn’t quippy enough

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Lina. Lina was forced to flee South at the beginning of the war with her sons Hasan, 10 and Mahmoud, 4, leaving her husband. She found out she was pregnant with Liza she gave birth alone and when she returned her home was destroyed.
