Real time data coming out of the world’s climate measurement systems should be stopping us in our tracks. The latest estimate shows that, this week, the Earth is 1.9°C warmer than before we began burning fossil fuels.

A very happy birthday to Béla Ferenc Dezső Blaskó, better known as #BelaLugosi, born this day in 1882.
He defined forever the appearance of the #vampire, after starring in the 1931 film #Dracula. He was then immortalised in #gothicrock by #Bauhaus in their 1979 debut single "Bela Lugosi's Dead"

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.
You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.
Get your lies straight.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Analysts are also getting very worried about the US bond market again. Treasury bond yields are rising.

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism"
"That theory has been debunked"
"One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.
So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.
So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Earth’s beauty... Life's quietness... Creation’s sublime freedom:
The aerial grace of a hummingbird,
the loveliness of trumpet flowers,
their gracefulness, freely together…
Then, a gift of peaceful clarity, resting within one's soul.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.
Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?
