ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray.

The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter.

These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby.

We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves.

Trump’s rally last night was supposed to fix the political damage from the affordability crisis.

Instead, it’s the latest in a string of choices that is making it worse for him — and all Republicans.

Trump's reality TV tricks can't hide the affordability crisis

Reminder that temperatures above normal in the arctic lead to below average temperatures in the US 👇
Coldest air on Earth today is in the US with temps up to 40 degrees below normal in the Midwest/ Great Lakes. Actual lows are as low as -20F there.
Cold US is due to widespread relative warmth in the Arctic, with record low Arctic Sea Ice extent. This “warmth” displaces the polar cold pool south.

I don’t know a lot.

But I know a lot about dinosaurs.

Now we all know dinosaurs lived for millions of years right?

But does you mind actually wrap around how long they dominated for?

Lets get a little perspective.

Did you know Allosaurus never saw flowers but T.rex did?

Hey you. YES YOU. Super persnickety astronomer. You know who you are.

NASA Exoplanet Archive just updated our overview pages so the stars are closer to their actual colours, as per Harre & Heller (2021) and Cranmer (2021).

You're welcome. 😎

As roughly 42 million Americans face the loss of food stamps, far-right influencers and extremists are using the crisis to push racist disinformation about who receives these benefits.

In reality, the majority of people who receive SNAP benefits are white Americans, according to USDA data.
No, SNAP Benefits Aren’t Mostly Used by Immigrants
SNAP benefits are set to run out on Saturday. Far-right influencers and extremists are incorrectly claiming that immigrants are the main recipients of food stamps.

Forgot to include the conclusion. This is one of those "you know whatever you say the newspaper is going to print" and she swung for the fences. I respect that, even if I don't respect her wealth. And probably anything else about her.
