Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Based on recent experiences, the entry scanning to Lufthansa lounges needs improvement. There’s always a 20+ person line, and a solo person scanning.

Hi Bluesky👋 We are new here. Anyone want to talk about how climate change isn't the biggest threat to our country and that it's actually losing the AI arms race to China?

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.
Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.
Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.
It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Unhinged. The real authoritarian crime spree in Washington is being led by Trump.
Pardons for MAGA thugs who violently attacked and injured law enforcement and shut down the peaceful transfer of power.
A felony and home raid for someone who threw a deli sandwich at DHS.

The original motivation behind the presidential fitness effort was preparedness. Eisenhower saw fitness as a national security concern. Kennedy cast it as a patriotic duty. Obama reframed it as a public health imperative. What will it be in Trump's hands?

He misrepresented the history of the gym-class test. I know because I served on the council that helped modernize it.

The animating belief of QAnon was that an elite pedophile ring was being protected by the deep state and Donald Trump was the hero who was going to expose it all.
Which, ironically, is exactly what is happening right now. Only Trump’s not the hero, he’s the deep state.
