In 2021, we mapped the spread of cancer-causing industrial air emissions down to the neighborhood level using EPA data ⤵️

FUN FACT.

Who else wants to see trump forced to apologize publicly to President Zelensky? 🤚

They want to keep it quiet, so you know what to do.

@aoc.bsky.social: "Listen, if your representative is not doing a town hall, give me a ring... I'll say it right here, right now: if a deep red Republican district wants to have an honest conversation, even if it's with someone they disagree with, I'm willing to do that."

The only reason I'm going to bed before 10:00 is so I can hurry up and get to sleep so I can wake early and get some lovely coffee ☕☕☕

Talk soon, @rieckhoff.bsky.social!

Exquisite response by Georgetown Dean to interim USA Ed Martin On Martin's threat letter not to hire grads until Martin approves of law school curriculum: "The constitutional violation behind this threat is clear, as is the attack on the University’s mission as a Jesuit and Catholic institution."

Is this what they meant by a Red Wave?

An important statement from the American Bar Association. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Senator Kim Statement Condemning President Trump’s Freeze on Military Aid to Ukraine.

The Trump administration plans to drop a federal lawsuit against a chemical manufacturer that released high levels of a carcinogen from its Louisiana plant.

What's up? Daffodils!

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy. “It made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

Welcome to Vermont,JD.

“This is not a move toward efficiency; it’s a move toward putting Americans in danger every day.”

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

Here we go... Pritzker raises the threat to a reality-based level.

“Operation Whirlwind” at DC US Attorney’s office seems to be less about protecting the public and more about chilling free speech. As I explain here in @Bloomberg, only “true threats” are prosecutable.

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇 @housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the  expense of the middle class.

It’s said that we live in a post-fact society. We disagree. Now, more than ever, facts matter, and ProPublica is going to continue to track how and when patently false statements are injected into conversations about the country’s future. By @sengelberg.bsky.social

I wrote about this in my book, The Poisoner’s Handbook. In 1925, New York City banned leaded gasoline due to health risks. Manufacturers got that overturned with the help of the federal government. The more things change… www.statnews.com/2025/02/21/s....

Under no circumstances should Democrats work with Republicans for the next two years. This might be a hot take and a Valentine's Dinner solo with bourbon take. But F them. They don't give a damn about democracy or the constitution. So figure this shit out alone. DO NOT HELP THEM. PERIOD

Wanting to be prepared stems “not out of fear but really out of faithfulness. If something were to happen, we would know that we’d done everything possible to protect what was entrusted to us."

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore certain public health webpages and datasets that federal health agencies had wiped from the internet in recent days.

In which the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing (I am a board member), the National Association of Science Writers, the Society of Environmental Journalists and the Association of Health Care Journalists stand together in asking for integrity in governmental information.

As people are trying to understand how courts enforce their orders, this DOJ Org Chart may come in handy. The courts don’t have their own enforcement agency. The US Marshal’s Service is part of DOJ.

Hold the fuck on a minute — Assistant President Poopy Pants spent $15 million taxpayer dollars to attend a single football game, but Phony Stark’s Division of DOGEbags can’t find the money to fund childhood cancer research? Are you fucking kidding me?!?

Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the Senate Minority Leader, has launched a new online portal for individuals to report corruption, abuses of power, and threats to public safety, with the legal protections afforded to whistleblowers.

"This work is too important to die."

Your Daily Affirmation: It ain't over. It ain't over. It ain't over. While every note of hope buoys my spirit, and every revelation of truth heartens my resolve, I rise up, aware that it ain't over, and nothing worthwhile is achieved without perseverance. RESIST FASCISM
