The U.S. is destroying $9.7 million in contraceptives. Is there another option?
This planned destruction of birth control devices is part of the dismantling of USAID services — and is linked to allegations by the government that cite abortion. Critics are speaking out.

The firing of Library of Congress head Librarian since 2016, Chris Hayden, for promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, is just another politically motivated move to control what we know and who knows it.

Trump has ordered the US government to move forward with plans to mine the ocean floor an area nearly every other country considers off-limits to industrial exploitation. His executive order sidesteps a decades-old international treaty ratified by every major coastal nation except the United States.

Here's an intriguing fine detail: @premthakker.bsky.social reports that university officials have discovered that the Trump administration has been revoking not only visas but also the student "status" (based on, e.g., maintaining required course load) that universities usually control
SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning.
It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.
