A review of rescued climate data » Yale Climate Connections
The Trump administration has shut down websites like climate.gov and other climate data projects. Academics, journalists, and nonprofit organizations are working to rebuild what has been lost.

As a parent, let me tell you why the vaccine advice is complete f*ckery. For a lot of people (not all, obvs), when you have kids you prioritize their safety and happiness. Many parents would jump in front of a tiger to keep their kid safe. Like, safety is the prime goal. Everything for them.

Mississippi teachers will get a far smaller pay raise than expected due to state budget constraints caused by President Trump's cuts to Medicaid in his "Big Beautiful Bill." The Mississippi House and Senate initially passed $5,000 and $6,000 teacher pay raises respectively. Now, it's just $2,000.

This piece also challenges the theory that the failure to indict these Dems shows system working (as @jvl.bsky.social suggests). I agree that in key ways institutional players are putting up vital resistance and I also tend toward optimism. But this level of corruption itself = systemic breakdown.

A decade ago, when Trump one the first time, I and other Black writers tried to make us see that racism — both explicit and deeply seeded — was at the root of Trump’s rise. We were dismissed even as late as last year as people attributed economic anxieties to Trump’s wins. DO YOU BELIEVE US NOW?

Read this: www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...
Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted.
Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.

CT families could pay nearly $140 more in electric bills next year. What is President Trump’s response? Fighting against energy projects like Revolution Wind that would lower your costs, while building a golden ballroom for himself.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.
