US Vice President JD Vance: "Denmark, which controls Greenland, is not doing its job and it's not being a good ally. How are we going to solve that problem? If that means we need to take more territorial interest in Greenland, that is what President Trump is going to do because ⤵️

GULF OF FEAR: This past week, when NASA astronauts returned to Earth, TV news networks avoided calling the body of water they splashed down in as the Gulf of Mexico. Instead, they performed linguistic gymnastics to stay out of Trump’s crosshairs. More in Status: www.status.news/p/gulf-of-me...

This is embarrassing.

Facts

If you aren’t ready, get ready, if you aren’t prepared, get prepared. Don’t get mad at me if I point that you are neither ready or prepared. Just acknowledge your circumstances and improve. I’m not here to tell you everything is going to be okay or encourage delusions. Self awareness is a must.

The idea of not having access to a private toilet when you have your period is a literal, actual nightmare.

Facts......

If “every single one was here illegally,” why not give them due process and prove that? Why sing the alien enemies invocation in the dark of night and then rush people on to planes and defy a court order to turn them around?

After assuring undocumented immigrants for decades that they should pay their taxes honestly and their records would not be shared with immigration authorities, IRS now prepares to hand over their information to the Gestapo. Shameful. www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/20...

Them: we call it the woke mind “virus” to communicate how deadly and awful it is and that it must be eradicated. Also them: enh, measles is FINE.

I guess CERN's CLOUD experiments have lost some of their novelty so they are now published in Nature Geoscience, not Nature. (But congratulations to the authors of the latest!) 🧪

I used to believe that most people would do that right thing. I no longer believe that. Most people will do the right thing if it costs them nothing or they will suffer social condemnation if they don't. But the number who will do the right thing when it is unpopular and costs them is precious few.

Pro Tip: Innocent people don’t spend their days attacking judges, that’s what mobsters and despots do. Any lawyer who willingly does business with the White House is a creep & a cretin. I don’t care how much their firm pulls in a year. They’re enabling tyrants and they know it.

The morning that Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C to remove fetal tissue after losing a very wanted pregnancy, she learned the surgery had been canceled because the military’s health insurance plan refused to pay for it. (Published Dec. 2024)

I don't blame them. But it's mindblowing that in 8 weeks we've managed to prompt Canada to pursue defense deals that exclude the US.

The Trump backed Russia continues another night of terrorist attacks on civilians in Ukraine, over 200 drones were used to attack families while they slept.

The Usha Vance led delegation to Greenland was unsought by the Greenlanders and has been angrily rejected by them. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/23/u...

France special forces practicing drills in Greenland and a French nuclear powered submarine in Halifax, Canada.

Reading this essay was surreal for me. I had no idea this was such a common thing. I have my own story as a closeted trans girl being dragged into Hooters by my father and being so uncomfortable with the implied purpose of it and having no idea how to tell him that. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/23/o...

I know Brad, and I hate to say it. But yeah. Absolutely.

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

We (I) have no idea what the extent of the mass termination of grants for LGBT or DEI reasons is, but I know the impact is immediate and deep. A few examples highlighted here: abcnews.go.com/Health/scien... #academicsky

Ukrainian teenagers who live on Russian-occupied Ukrainian lands have secret book clubs to discuss Ukrainian books.They take great risks doing that as anything Ukrainian is prohibited. The teenagers can be taken away from parents,be interrogated or face other dire consequences

Some very sad news. Former Congresswoman Mia Love has died. She was battling Glioblastoma. Love was 49 and is survived by her husband Jason and their three children.

NASA dropped plans to put the first woman on the moon. DEI RIGHT?!?! Anyone wanna guess which administration originally planned the first woman on the moon? Hint: he smells bad mostly

Paywalled. But Rep. Kustoff cancels full chair town hall over "safety concerns" dailymemphian.com/article/5071...

‘Very dangerous’: Japanese Americans warn of Trump’s use of Alien Enemies Act www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Don't Americans understand how unpopular Trump is making the US?

"The country has invested in, and innovated through, this scientific public service for over a century, not for selling it to the highest bidder, but for the common good. Dismantling NOAA and the National Weather Service is a presidential grift that we must oppose."

Restrictive, punitive, completely a-biblical Christianity is now the law of the land.

am I missing something or is there no exact historical precedent for a regime that explicitly advertises not just punishment but torture for its citizens - and not just that but torture executed by a foreign actor? even the Inquisition, which this feels a bit like, didn't outsource torture, right?

“The Trump administration’s vision of a reactionary constitutionalism (if it is even constitutionalism) is reminiscent of the illiberal constitutionalism of the Confederate States of America.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/o...

Travel to the United States! Highlights include: -viral outbreaks -food borne illness -plane crashes -shootings -race and gender based violence -ICE detention centers -and more!

Canadian MP Charlie Angus joins global call to avoid the United States due to security risks posed to foreign civilians and Trump's ongoing ICE Ethnic Cleansing operation: "I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible." #cdnpoli

Before the ACA, my sister who was born premature was considered already “uninsurable” due to the fact that she had gone through a lifetime of healthcare according to insurance executives and it was legal. Now she is insured. Is it perfect, no but rewriting history isn’t cool either.
