Veteran Meteorologist Cliff Mass, "But despite its deficiencies, NOAA does have strengths in many areas, such as atmospheric and ocean observations. Thunderstorm and severe storm prediction. Hurricane warning and forecasting. Its role is still essential." cliffmass.blogspot.com/2025/02/noaa...

One of the most fundamental differences between conservatives and liberals is that liberals presume people have a baseline competence where conservatives presume incompetence.

The whole premise of public ed is a DEI initiative - every person has the right to a free, equitable & inclusive education. Private schools offer an education only to those who can pay and fit certain requirements. An educated population benefits us all and should be viewed as a fundamental RIGHT.

I NEED you to understand what Trump is doing when he doesn't allow the AP reporters in. He is trying to influence ALL newspapers, magazines, etc in this country. The Associated Press sets the style guide that ALL journalists follow. The dominoes will fall quickly if the AP changes.

"Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office." www.ap.org/the-definiti...

Is this right? Trump has frozen accepting any and all refugees EXCEPT for the former apartheid-ruling people group (who are white btw) from South Africa??? (& who no one else thinks should have refugee status except for him and Musk.)

So, basically Trump & Musk are pulling the US out of any peaceable & goodwill projects across the world, working to destabilize things and then guess what the answer will be? Move the military in to "stabilize" situations.

Overheard my 7-year-old with his friend: My son: "I feel like every kid who is a boy lies about mostly everything." Friend: "But you are a boy." My son: "I said "mostly."

I'm spiraling because I think Trump is going to do away with Special Education funding and that would be devastating for my family. Here's what I am worrying will happen... First, my elementary-aged kiddo is autistic. 1/?

A key mark of totalitarianism is government and party ownership and control of the means of speech and information. The party, through its main apparatchik, owns Twitter. The government wants to own TikTok. The only free speech is the fascists' speech.
