We have started sharing our preliminary H2S data from the Nestor community in San Diego, CA. Levels and odors have been high again recently. For near real time data, see airborne.ucsd.edu/H2S. Screenshot below.

Garcia: They are, on one hand, putting names of survivors in these documents that are not redacted. And in these same documents, they're taking extra time and being extra careful to redact the names of the coconspirators

Mitt Romney said the quiet part out loud: the rich should pay more in taxes.
The Wall Street Journal attacked him for it.
But he’s right—and ignoring the math is how democracies crack.

"Bondi and company are sorely mistaken if they think breaking the law and giving Congress a middle finger will make the Epstein scandal go away."
The regime's new Epstein coverup will backfire
They're buying time but not fooling anyone.

Donald Trump’s Department of Justice just went on national television and said that their official position is to protect pedophiles.

That’s what Todd Blanche just said out loud on TV.

Is this what you voted for Maga?

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.

That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Our Mothership is being dismantled. Stop the damage. Now.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.

Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Unbelievable.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇
Russ Vought (piss man) tweet about doing piss man shit: The National Science Foundation will be breaking up the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado. This facility is one of the largest sources of climate alarmism in the country. A comprehensive review is underway & any vital activities such as weather research will be moved to another entity or location.

There will be a visibility event in front of NOAA in #Boulder #BoulderCO this Sat 11-1 to protest the announced closing of NCAR. (Yes, doing it at NCAR would be better, but NCAR gets much less traffic than Broadway in front of NOAA).

As someone not with NCAR, I use NCAR-based software everyday to help identify and track regions of excessive precipitation to help NWS forecasters protect lives and property. NCAR is extremely valuable and we need them.
