Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

These are the federal agencies detaining people across the US – mostly, but not all, under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security.
A tree showing the agencies under the Department of Homeland Security.

It includes ICE (broken down into Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO)), and Customs and Border Patrol (with its descendant organization Border Patrol).

Non DHS agencies that are sometimes involved include the FBI, DEA, and ATF.

Power outages are certain for some, especially in areas where the heaviest ice will accumulate on trees and powerlines. The cold can be deadly--but even without power, there are still ways to warm things up. Learn more about winter safety: weather.gov/safety/winter
Staying warm when the power is out. 

Visuals of a home floor plan and a person on a sofa highlight safety tips:
- Close blinds or curtains to keep in some heat
- Close off rooms to avoid wasting heat,
- Stuff towels or rags in cracks under doors
- Wear layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing
- Eat and drink. Food provides energy to warm the body. Avoid caffeine and alcohol.

COVID-19: "As of November 11, 2025, we estimate that COVID-19 infections are growing or likely growing in 20 states, declining or likely declining in 9 states, and not changing in 18 states." Source: www.cdc.gov/cfa-modeling...
A CDC map of the United States shows estimated COVID-19 epidemic trends as of November 11, 2025. States are color-coded: dark purple for “Growing,” light purple for “Likely Growing,” gray for “Not Changing,” teal for “Likely Declining,” dark teal for “Declining,” and white for “Not Estimated.” Much of the Midwest, South, and Northeast are shaded in purple tones, indicating growing or likely growing COVID-19 spread. Western states show more teal, indicating declining trends. A box below the map summarizes national data: COVID-19 emergency-department visits are very low, and the national trend is “not changing,” with an Rₜ estimate of 1.01.

A #CosmicVision mission, #ESAPlato will use its 26 cameras to study terrestrial exoplanets in orbits up to the habitable zone of Sun-like stars.  Plato will revolutionise our understanding of how planets form, how planetary systems evolve & the potential habitability of these worlds. 1/ #CM25 🔭
This is an artist's impression of ESA’s mission Plato, PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars, which will discover potentially habitable planets around stars similar to our Sun. The spacecraft is seen in space, studying a star system with four planets. The central star is also visible.

NEWS: We may be witnessing the formation of a new supermassive black hole. #NASAWebb shows the Infinity Galaxy has a growing black hole between two galactic nuclei. It may have formed there through direct collapse of a gas cloud: webbtelescope.pub/4nQlWwI 🔭 🧪
A pair of distant galaxies that form the rough shape of an infinity symbol seen at roughly a 45-degree angle. Two overlapping, fuzzy rings with brighter blue patches are at upper right and lower left. At the center of each ring is a bright yellow blob, which is the nucleus. Where the two rings overlap on the left side, there is a mottled green patch of glowing gas midway between the two yellow nuclei. It is offset slightly to the left. Orange contours are overlaid on the galaxies. The contours are egg-shaped and centered on the green patch between the two galaxies.

That small dot moving left to right is 3I/ATLAS. It's a comet that was discovered on 1 July 2025. It's travelling at 58 km PER SECOND and isn't gravitationally bound to the Sun. Which means you're looking at a comet that formed around another star, passing through the Solar System.

📝Ocean Dissolved Oxygen?🌊🤓 Do you know what it is❓ We are gonna talk about some general concepts we will use in future posts to talk about past ocean oxygenation. Scientists use special equipment to measure DO in modern oceans. @pages-ipo.bsky.social
It is measured in μmol/kg (micromoles/ kilogram): the concentration of oxygen molecules (O2) in a kilogram of water. Solubility plays an important role in the amount of dissolved oxygen in ocean waters. It increases when ocean waters are colder, with lower pressure and low salinity.
