This makes it seem like they are stopping their funding of climate change. If only.

A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

Sometimes I'll just make thumbnail graphics for YouTube videos that don't exist.

Are there memes on this app? Shitposting? I haven't seen much nonsense since I joined.

There are not enough obscenities in my soul to respond to the Amazon Pharmacy ads.

Awesome 🙃

Deleting everything doesn't change the fact that we've crossed 1.5 C I don't know what to tell you

BREAKING: Levels of influenza nationwide are now at the highest they have been since the peak of the 2009 swine flu pandemic. -CDC

“As a nation, we still have not recovered from the physical, mental and social toll of COVID. What will happen if bird flu starts coursing through us?”

Covid is still around and now we also have bird flu and TB coming into the picture, not to mention flu, rsv, even "just" a cold! No one should have to get sick!

JUST IN: Influenza virus may survive pasteurization in milk and food. Non-infectious flu virions may preserve their infectious potential after pasteurization at 75°C, reactivating when exposed to trypsin. Current pasteurization standards may not completely neutralize influenza viruses in food.

And DOGE isn't even real. It never actually got created.

Wow. So not only were several bird flu studies left out of today’s CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, some data on bird flu briefly appeared in the online report and then was quickly removed.

"The gunman who killed 10 people in an attack on a school in Sweden shouted “you should go away from Europe” in between firing shots at his victims, video analysis shows" "...the school offers Swedish classes for immigrants and programmes for people with learning disabilities."

Dr. Mae Jemison is a former NASA astronaut and made history in 1992 by becoming the first Black woman to ever go to space. Growing up, Jemison saw the lack of female astronauts in real life but was inspired by Lieutenant Uhura on Star Trek.

Ok now walk back on the rest of them

I realise that for many we can experience burnout ,outage fatigue with the endless stream of noxious news spreading across the globe.However, this atrocity committed by a Rwandan- backed rebel group should not be scrolled past. Sadly, there are many newsworthy stories beyond the orange man’s idiocy.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: A federal judge has just BLOCKED the Trump administration from enforcing an executive order that required moving transgender inmates from women's to men's prisons.

Trump just said with Netanyahu that he expects the United States to “own and develop Gaza.” Speechless.

Israel is building military bases in the demilitarised buffer zone with Syria, according to satellite images seen by Al Jazeera’s Sanad verification unit. 🔗: aje.io/86e2td

US tariffs on Canada paused. News on the pause: www.bbc.com/news/live/c8... Last year US border patrol intercepted 19kg of fentanyl at the Canadian border, and 9,600 at the Mexican border. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/w...

The New York attorney general, Letitia James, has warned New York hospitals that complying with the White House’s executive order to end gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth could well violate state law.

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers. Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

The parents of Cole Schmidtknecht, a 22-year-old Wisconsin man who died after an asthma attack have filed a lawsuit against Walgreens and UnitedHealth Group’s pharmacy benefit manager, after they said the price for his medication suddenly rose from $66 to $539.. www.huffpost.com/entry/cole-s...

Public news will only be available on privately owned X, what kind of BS is this! The NTSB says it will no longer email news outlets or reporters with notifications of upcoming press conferences, including those on plane crashes. Instead, all notifications will be made on X.

On January 10, NASA and FEMA confirmed that the 11 hottest years on record happened in the last decade and each of the past six decades was hotter than the last. As President Trump nominates new agency leaders, here’s what the US needs from the next FEMA administrator. Blog: act.ucsusa.org/4hDygMG

Nuke climate change may be the most American policy proposal ever.

ICE detained a family—including a toddler—after they were overheard speaking Spanish. They’re US citizens from Puerto Rico. No chance to explain. The mother, grandmother, and child were shopping when ICE agents took them into detention before admitting their “mistake.” This is Trump’s America.

#Palestine: Israel's decision to ban UNRWA from East Jerusalem, which is set to be implemented today, will severely impact its activities in West Bank and Gaza and will be devastating for Palestinians and their access to healthcare.
