NEW — RFK Jr.’s HHS sent out a survey asking employees to report instances of anti-Christian bias during the Biden administration, and the Dept. of Labor announced its inaugural prayer service. These are just the latest instances of Trump’s extreme Christian creep within the federal government.
RFK Jr. is very worried about anti-Christian bias at HHS...under Biden

In places where they've been introduced, redear sunfish have been shown to reduce numbers of native pumpkinseeds. The reason? The redear’s strong jaws allow them to crack snail shells more easily than pumpkinseeds can and as a result, redears are able to outeat them #25DaysofFishmas

Redear sunfish look similar to a couple of familiar sunfish: the bluegill + pumpkinseed.
How to tell these cousins apart? Bluegill lack the redear’s orange spot on the black ear flap, while pumpkinseeds share the orange ear flap spot but have wavy bluish lines on their cheeks #25DaysofFishmas

Fossil-fuel companies didn’t just respond to demand they spent decades creating it. They pushed governments to build highways, pipelines, gas systems, and car-dependent cities, locking society into fossil use. Through lobbying they secured subsidies, blocked clean-energy policies,

The only 'concession' for-profit publishers ever made to OA was shifting the cost of access from readers to authors.
And that on top of the fees university libraries already pay for journal access.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

billionaires have invested in media not because they support journalism but because they want to control it. there is only downside to a free press for people with that level of wealth. journalism is a great equalizer and they don’t want us to be equal.

It should go without saying that these mass internment camps will be much, much more expensive to operate than just giving the homeless free or subsidized housing would be.
Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.
