Scientists: have you been the target of an online harassment campaign, doxxing, or weaponized FOIA requests? I'd like to talk to you about steps you had to take to protect your digital security for an upcoming Nature story. (You can be anonymous if necessary.)

RTs appreciated.

Holy shit. This video gave me chills. If you watch one thing today, please let it be this.
Women’s March is speaking directly to ICE agents, to their humanity & asking them to walk away from Trump’s unconstitutional crackdowns.
Watch. Like. Share. Make it impossible to ignore.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction.

You're welcome!!

Here's the actual Virginia analysis he's referring to:

acasignups.net/ira-subsidy-...

Since actual net rate hikes will vary, all examples cited assume:

--Richmond City, VA
--Benchmark Silver plans for both years
--*Gross* premium equals the statewide avg (+21.1%)
Health care costs jumping by horrific amounts thanks to Rob Wittman giving billionaires trillions in tax cuts.

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare…

Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

Trump is calling for a special prosecutor to investigate debunked claims of fraud in the 2020 election. His push comes as GOP officials ramp up efforts to restrict voting ahead of 2026, using conspiracy theories to justify new laws and federal action.
