Donald Trump’s administration has begun indiscriminately culling scores of people who keep air travel safe, despite four deadly plane crashes during his first two months as president.

NEW: At least 200 Afghan Americans in the U.S. military have relatives who applied for refugee status only to be blocked by Trump’s refugee ban. “We serve this country because it protected us, but now it is abandoning my sister,” said one soldier. By @lomikriel.bsky.social

Trump, Musk and Zuckerberg have declared war on facts and truth. The pushback must start now @emilybell.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Still wild to me that so many "savvy" folks on left and right have bought into the idea that online misinformation is overblown and doesn't really matter. From lies about migrants to transgender people to crime to election denial to climate denial, it's literally driving our country's politics.

*terrible beatboxing noises* “My name is Mark Z and I’m here to say that i’m letting people use slurs in a different way!”

🚨 IT’S 2025 – TIME TO END THE BADGER CULL! Thousands of badgers are slaughtered every year in this cruel and unscientific massacre. We need 100,000 signatures for Parliament to consider it for a debate. 🖊️ Sign now: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700317

Jeremy Clarkson used his show to vilify badgers as scapegoats for bTB and has allegedly wiped them out on his own farm. He’d hate it if people ‘RT'd’ this and signed the petition to end the Badger cull.. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

If only all Badgers could sleep easy. The badger cull still rages on in 2025, it’s a disgrace. Please ✍️ the petition to end the cull today: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

News Analysis: President-elect Trump says he is about to take over a nation ravaged by crisis, a desolate hellscape of crime, chaos and economic hardship. But by many metrics, the country is in better shape than it has been for a new president's inauguration in over twenty years. nyti.ms/407cWbk

Why are we promoting these two people. They have nothing good to say and sow division everywhere!

🚨Former US President Jimmy Carter has died. Here is one of his many wonderful quotes: “The bond of our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices. God gives us the capacity for choice. We can choose to work together for peace…alleviate suffering”
