The American adoptees who fear deportation to a country they can't remember
Thousands of US adoptees do not have citizenship despite being brought to the country as babies decades ago. Now many fear deportation.

This is say defund the police bullshit all over again. People fail to appreciate the rhetorical prison schumer and jeffries have trapped republicans in. Every tv hit they do they have to explain why ice needs masks and the ability to break into people's houses without a warrant.

Sulfuric acid is terrible for "dissolving bodies" there was an ongoing order for Epstein's desalination skid on site, a task sulfuric acid at that concentration is ideal for. please stop doing this shit
Sulfuric acid is used to get rid of human bodies. Why would Epstein need so much? What was happening on his island? How many children were on his island? #epsteinfiles?

The "Facebook knew their product was causing body image issues in teen girls and did it deliberately" narrative is taking the ACTUAL RESEARCH Facebook did entirely out of context! They commissioned that internal research to SEE HOW THEY COULD STOP IT HAPPENING.

Colorado has its lowest snowpack on record, but official records date back only to 1987.
It's likely that snowpack was actually worse in both the 1976-77 and 1980-81 winters, per analysis from @climate.colostate.edu's @rschumacher.cloud.
Great insight here:

As a rule I try not to share Trump posts. But I’m beyond perplexed here. Normally I can parse some (very weird) logic out of his comments.
…how is China getting rid of hockey in Canada? HockeySky, is there a thing about this floating around?
…how is China getting rid of hockey in Canada? HockeySky, is there a thing about this floating around?
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

Not every outdoor cat is a good or easy indoor transition. There’s a place for supported outdoor or barn cats in rescue land

Important note: Today's 70° warmth is not *caused* by climate change. It makes it more likely (for example: 60-degree winter days in Denver have increased from 11 to 13 in the last ~50 years), but it does not *cause* it.
That's an important distinction... 1/2
