“What’s the site? The water? You want me to go swimming??”

This was Trump’s response when asked if he had visited the site of the deadly DC plane crash.

They are Nazis.
A far-right, extremist group has compiled a list of foreign students and teachers that it thinks should be expelled from the United States for protesting against Israel, and turned it over to officials in the Trump administration.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is blaming DEI for the war in Ukraine, the high cost of eggs, the weird shape of eggs, his VCR flashing 12:00, the cruel inevitability of death, the 10-to-8 hotdog-to-bun disparity, and the perpetual flaccidity of his itty-bitty teeny-tiny mushroom dick.

“I spent all morning frantically downloading YRBS data. I can’t believe this is all happening,” Ariel Beccia, a researcher and instructor at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health focused on eating disorders in LGBTQ+ populations, wrote in an email. Later in the morning, the data disappeared.”
The CDC is removing data sets that researchers widely rely upon because they include information on sexual orientation and gender identity. “It feels like they’re trying to will us out of existence,” one researcher tells @theresagaff.bsky.social:

A key reveal from this survey for me is that more than half of Yes voters believe that Scotland was more of a subject than partner of the British Empire. I’d expect more critical thought about Scotland’s history but evidently violent imperial domination is off-limits.
