Trump moves to slash NSF If the NSF budget were to be enacted as is, it “would spell the end of any pretence that the US leads the world in science and technology” www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I'm 71. That's pretty old. But my cat is 14, which is pretty old for a cat. He's dear to me, he's my bud. I know that I'll likely outlive him. He's been my bud for 8 years, and I don't know how I'll handle his death. I fear incapacitation the most. Live long, buddy BobCat!

In 2020 supertrawlers spent 5590 hours fishing in 19 protected areas Its not enough to create protected ocean areas known as MPAs if vast trawling is allowed and there is no real protection of marine life There must be enforcement and huge fines thefishingdaily.com/featured-new...

Trump sick joke to the world on #worldoceanday He will not sign any order to protect the ocean but instead has signed without any safeguards to mine and destroy the deep sea ocean the last untouched area on the planet that will annihilate entire ecosystems and fuel warming phys.org/news/2025-05...

I dedicate this song to all of the freedom fighters who will participate in NO KINGS this Saturday. Let's leave arms & ammo out of this protest, and hope that doesn't become a reality soon. Peaceful, for now. We don't want to give the traitor any reason to declare martial law.

Remember how an ABC reporter was just fired for speculating about the psychology of Stephen Miller?

Thank you, Gov Newsom, for making clear what is occurring in Los Angeles CA.

@abc7.bsky.social ABC News preemptively suspends 1 of their journalists as a way to beg forgiveness from Trump Journalist taken to task by ABC for telling the Truth about Trump ABC executives are cowards who are shills for Trump & the Current Regime #Trump www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"If you’re wondering what to do, the answer is: Show up. Speak out. Refuse to be cowed. This isn’t just about immigrants, or ICE, NYC, or LA. This is about are we going to let a dictator turn the greatest protest experiment in history into a cautionary tale." www.meidasplus.com/p/constituti...

NPR and the PBS series Frontline investigate the forces keeping communities from building resiliently, and the special interests that profit even when communities don't.

I do not approve of the recent change made by BlueSky that removes the blue notification symbol of updates to the currently selected feed.

The 2026 White House budget directs NASA to send humans to the Moon AND Mars with the smallest civil servant workforce since FY 1960...which began in the summer of 1959. Clearly, the outcome of a "cut first, justify later" approach. This is not a serious proposal (albeit very destructive).

"When conservatives destroy these public goods, it doesn’t necessarily lead to a Democratic backlash at the ballot box, and they see this as a long-term investment in a more ignorant population reliant on sources of information they can control — a docile population that can be easily manipulated."

Embracing Musk is, even for this iteration of the Democratic Party, a phenomenally stupid and self-defeating thing to do. Yes, the feud between him and Trump is good for them. Dems should help it continue—not by embracing Musk but by… letting it continue. https://trib.al/93jgxln

One argument I tried to make to centrist, right-leaning folks during 2024 was that if you really hate street protest and unrest and chaos, then you should absolutely not vote for Donald Trump, because he 100% guarantees more.
