I know there’s a lot of news right now but this is really crazy. They’re booting the National Science Foundation out of its newish building with no plans for where 1800 people are going to go.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Awful. More horrible science news "The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) learned yesterday that the Department of Defense (DoD) will stop processing & delivering the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data no later than 30 June 2025."

❗ This is BIG news for China #Carbon market 🌟 China released NEW high-level policy (Opinions) to strengthen the national Carbon market - Expand ETS to All sectors and Aviation by 2027 - Absolute Cap for ETS by 2030, starting in 2027 for sectors with steady emissions

A new report from Fairtrans reveals that a clear majority of Swedes support ambitious climate action, regardless of political affiliation. Learn more: www.stockholmresilience.org/news--events...

Repriserar @skolinkvisition.bsky.social från i julas. "Vi vet inte om Simona Mohamsson och/eller Annie Lööf kommer att lobba för Academedias räkning eftersom lobbyfirmorna inte vill att vi ska veta."

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

Things must be pretty bad if I'm agreeing with Tucker Carlson and MTG.

Det här är ju sensationellt.

2 of every 5 acres of the planet are cropped or grazed. We lose a soccer field of forest every 6 seconds. Agricultural sprawl has overrun 30 times more of the global landscape than urban sprawl. WE ARE EATING THE EARTH. First excerpt in @theatlantic.com: www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

Vi börjar nu se ett mönster i hur Sverigedemokraterna använder sig av extremhögerns media för att konfrontera Palestinademonstrationerna. Ofta används Riks som länken mellan gatuaktivister och partiet. Provokationer byggs upp enligt en enkel modell.

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University. That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...

Han heter Allan. Jag kommer aldrig förlåta det här. Det är en vidrig skamfläck. www.qx.se/samhalle/264...

Bra tråd

“Only voters in Sweden have stronger anti-Trump views than Australians, who believe the president is unable to understand complex problems, not qualified to hold his job, and is unlikely to deal with major issues such as the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.”

I have posted a lot recently about my worries for the NWS. However, I am also increasingly worried that the threat to NWS is distracting from the even greater threat to the rest of NOAA. Tonight I wrote about the broader agency I am so proud to have been a part of. open.substack.com/pub/balanced...

Russia has abducted thousands of Ukrainian children, plunging families into every parent's worst nightmare. Now, Trump funding cuts threaten to close a Yale center that helps identify these children and bring them home. Please consider donating to help continue this work: sph.yale.edu/give-hrl

Att den svenska regeringen så tydligt tar ställning för en främmande makt som griper en svensk medborgare på internationellt vatten, och dessutom skuldbelägger offret, framstår som århundradets skandal: www.svt.se/nyheter/utri...

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

Kul med en regering som ständigt tjatar om att det svenska medborgarskapet ska uppvärderas men tycker att svenskar som kidnappas av militär på internationellt vatten får skylla sig själva 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hard to reach any other conclusion from this video than that police in LA deliberately shot with a rubber bullet at an Australian journalist who was clearly reporting on events.

Dozens of companies who sponsored Pride marches last year have pulled out this year, including: Dyson Nivea Tiffany & Co. Capital One UPS Disney DoorDash Live Nation Nissan Citi Corporate Pride was always a hoax. https://popular.info/p/pride-and-prejudice-in-corporate

The heartbreaking statement from Jonathan Joss’s husband about his death.

En stor majoritet vill ha MER klimatpolitik, ett stöd som alla partier borde nyttja! Men det finns flera faktorer som påverkar stödet för klimatåtgärder och vad man själv är villig att bidra med. Skriver om psykologin bakom hur vi tolkar olika förslag och varför rättvisa är den viktigaste av alla.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

INCREDIBLE !! Here we are... 😱😱😱 After days of overloading and cracks propagating, Birch Glacier collapsed today at 3.24 pm over Blatten and the dammed Lonza river... Devastating! 😭 www.letemps.ch/suisse/valai...

Suddenly, powerful and influential people are condemning Israel. It's taken them 19 months of daily genocidal depravity. But Israel's genocide was obvious from the start - and I warned you then what the cheerleaders and the silent would do.

“The federal government announced Wednesday that it is cancelling a contract to develop a vaccine to protect people against flu viruses that could cause pandemics….citing concerns about the safety of the mRNA technology being used.” Courting mass death to own the libs.

Intervju med Migrationsverket som tänker utvisa en tvååring till Kongo utan hennes familj som finns i Sverige, där hon är född och föräldrar och syskon har uppehållstillstånd:

"She was also Gaza’s youngest influencer, offering practical survival tips for daily life under bombardment, such as advice on how to cook with improvised methods when there was no gas. 'I try to bring a bit of joy to the other children so that they can forget the war. '”

När politiker slentrianmässigt kallar journalistik för desinformation, och myndigheter stämplar granskning som påverkansoperationer – då har samhället tagit ett farligt kliv i fel riktning. blankspot.se/nar-makten-g...

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

CDC can no longer help prevent lead poisoning in children, state officials say arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

Stor skillnad mellan SR:s och SVT:s rapportering om Trumps möte med Ramaphosa. SR konstaterar att det inte finns ngn organisation som stödjer påståendena om folkmord, inte ens de boernas egna intresseorganisationer. SVT tycker man bör bilda sig en egen uppfattning utifrån dokumentären Trump visade.🙄

Sverige är ensamt i EU att vägra skicka hjälp via den enda aktör som konkret kan få ut mat till svältande bebisar i Gaza. Läs det igen. Vi står för att hellre låta bebisar svälta www.dn.se/ledare/ska-v...

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

"Annonserna är köpta av ”Israeli Government Advertising Agency”, enligt Googles annonsbibliotek. Kontot är verifierat av Google, och EBU:s verifieringsnätverk Spotlight slår fast att det är en israelisk statlig myndighet som ligger bakom annonserna."

@iea.org on global EV sales: "In the first three months of 2025, electric car sales were up 35% year-on-year." and "Despite significant uncertainties, electric cars’ market share is on course to exceed 40% by 2030." www.iea.org/news/more-th... 🔌💡
