"US nuclear waste policy is at a critical turning point." "SCOTUS goes nuclear: Justices' decision could seal spent fuel storage options for decades," by Riley Fisher, Muhammad Abdussami, and Aditi Verma @repeatedroots.bsky.social.

"By now it’s clear there’s no reason for optimism that H5N1 will fade away as a minor nuisance. To the contrary, the situation has only been trending worse." Lucy Shapiro of @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social on the "slow-boil crisis" of bird flu.

Trump just assaulted the independence of the United States' nuclear regulator. What could go wrong? A new article from Allison Macfarlane, who chaired the Nuclear Regulatory Commission from 2012-2014.

There are 360 climate, energy, and infrastructure projects totaling more than $600 million in a 50 mile radius of my town in the Hudson Valley courtesy of the previous administration. They're now at risk under Trump. How do I know the exact number? My colleague made a tool. grist.org/accountabili...

Todays hero

Every single election will be stolen, WAKE THE FUCK UP!

So much finding out.

Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

"No matter DOGE’s goal, putting so much information in one place and under the control of a small group of people with little government experience has raised substantial security concerns," Matteo Wong writes in the Atlantic Intelligence newsletter:

they are telling us they are intentionally burning the economy to the ground, never seen anything like it

Constituent: When will you stand up to them and say that is enough? Rep. Fitzgerald: The end result of the fraud and abuse that has been discovered Crowd: Booo

📌It’s about time ALL our retired military flag officers started showing some damn leadership by speaking out against this authoritarian attack on our nation. You know damn well that what is happening right now is WRONG.

🥱😋

Donald Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename "Krasnov", claims a former Soviet intelligence officer. The bombshell allegation was made by Alnur Mussayev, a former Kazakh intelligence chief… www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-worl...

After seeing all of the suppression happening around Trump being a Russian asset named “Krasnov,” this felt appropriate. Spread it far and wide, people! #krasnov #ukraine #resist #revolt #revolution #politics #republican #democrat #tyranny #eattherich #bluecrew #doge #felon #trump

4 snowy owls have died of bird flu in Massachusetts. But that toll may grow ->MassLive | #BirdFlu #Pandemic | More info from EcoSearch

Yep, April 1st (WTF?) Trump is cutting Medicaid Telehealth from everyone! This hurts the neediest Americans hard, and is cruel & evil!!!! Your healthcare is not safe!!! WHY? All so these guys can be even richer!!! Well done, maga.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment of defiance, Maine's Governor Janet Mills stands up to Trump, saying she is complying with state and federal (anti-discrimination) law, and will see him in court over his threat to withhold federal funds. This is incredible.

Not sure I’ve seen a US VP being taken on directly like this before before on social media. Niall Ferguson, Shashank Joshi and Ian Bremmer putting a wrecking ball to JD Vance’s Ukraine nonsense on the other place.

Elon Musk is so incredibly innovative - he has an entire automotive line of products worse than the Ford Pinto. He's a fucking anti-genius! #BlueCrew #Resist #BlueResisters #CivilDisobedience #SlavaUkrani

🤣🤣🤣

Oh no

I explained to my Dad, a 70 year old white dude state retiree, why we're not going to Target anymore and why we got a membership at Costco and he said "ok. Let me know next time you're going. I'll cancel my Target order." Talk to people in real life.

Casually bringing this back… #OCanada 🍁

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

An FCC probe of an SF radio station over a story it didn't like. A judge-ordered takedown of a newspaper editorial. We are watching the 1st Amendment die rapidly, inspired by a president who declares himself a king How can the media fight back? My column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

THR: “.. Paramount now signaling that it’s prepared to go on the offensive .. leveraging the threat of uncovering information about Trump’s financials, including with respect to his social media company .. and the cryptocurrency he launched, in discovery.”

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker rocks! ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽🫶🏽

I'll catch hell for this, but here goes🧵 1. Europe is currently dependent on the US for security. 2. But its clear we cant rely on Trump. 3. So we have to get ready to defend ourselves, esp from Russia- RIGHT NOW. [more on that soon]. 4. But we're in a long-term competition against Russia & China
