Project 2025 plans to break up and reduce the components of NOAA. But the services NOAA provides, every citizen uses every day.
I paid the price for speaking out about “Sharpiegate.” Scientists can’t be silent now, either.

Watching ICE storm medical facilities to arrest people seeking care is beyond infuriating. Sick, injured, vulnerable—and they’re hunted like criminals. This administration has no bottom, no shame, and no humanity.

We are waiting for Texas to file its response today explaining the discrepancy between what it told the court and what Gov. Abbott said publicly in justifying a special session about the use of race to draw the state's congressional map.

Once it is filed, Democracy Docket will it post here.

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

An A.I. company that promises to do your thinking for you is “also threatening, somewhere down the line, to scoot you off the stage for good,” Vinson Cunningham writes.

If human workers don’t have to read, write, or even think, it’s unclear what’s left for them to do.

The extremist movement to ban books basically wants to erase any history that looks critically at injustices of all kinds. That doesn’t fit their narrative of admirable white people, the facts be damned.
Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

Inches away from one of the tiniest butterflies in the world…

Between the rainstorms, I decided to take out my macro lens to see what was about. I was rewarded with Cupido comyntas, the fabulous male Eastern Tailed-Blue butterfly. Half inch wingspan. Those scales🤯

Exclusive: Kerr County, where nearly 100 people were killed and more than 160 remain missing, had the technology to turn every cellphone in the area into a blaring alarm, but officials did not do so before or during the river level rising to record heights.
Kerr County did not use its most far-reaching alert system in deadly Texas floods
Local officials used the system more than two days after the recorded height of the floods.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Near as I can tell, the US government now consists of a demented sociopath announcing his next sadistic wish, his minions scurrying to execute the new while chastising non-believers, and of course revenging and giving billionaires ownership of the poors. Future factory workers.
