A heads-up state and federal agencies are actively monitoring online activity tied to criticism and protest of the immigration crackdown in New Orleans. That includes social media comments, posts, group chats, and other digital spaces.

Adelita Grijalva hit the nail on the head: True troop support means funding veterans' health & housing, not slashing it! Let's keep backing our vets, their families, and the federal workers who serve them.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

A couple centuries ago, philosophers mused that we'd never know what stars are made of.

Today, JWST is measuring the detailed composition of a protoplanet & possible moons forming around it. The results show complex reactions brewing around a newborn world. 🧪🔭

If you’re wondering why institutions and people keep failing us, it’s because of capitalism.

Every decision is tied to money.

Will the company lose profits? Will the non-profit lose donors? Will you lose your livelihood?

We choose money, because money is survival.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

I’ve cared for this plant for several years now ( bought her at a yard sale) and this is the first bloom I’ve gotten. I’m a little excited about that today.

Meditate today, even for just five minutes.

When the world is in chaos, the first thing to do is to make a little more space in your mind, so that there’s more room to hold it all.

You know what would keep people from pressuring you? Just standing firm in your decisions that you make for yourself #bb27

I just finished the Introductory Course of meditation on The Waking Up app and I’m feeling proud and a little melancholy that it’s done. The course was gifted to me by my friend Ann @annporterla.bsky.social and I thank her for this gift and want her and lol of you to know …

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

Apparently it’s National Periodic Table day! I found this one interesting and informative.
You've probably heard that "we are stardust," but this graphic breaks it down and tells you what kind of stars your dust came from--and which elements didn't come from stars at all. 🧪

🚨NEW: Airline-bankrolled lawmakers ignored safety warnings & quietly passed a bill to add more flights to DC's airport: levernews.com/before-d-c-a...

They were backed by this Delta-backed group's ad campaign insisting "experts agree DCA has the capacity to handle more flights" 👇

Can we get some sober individuals without active addictions to substances like cocaine, ketamine and alcohol out of all the highest offices of the land?? Like perhaps to have random drug screenings like they do at jobs with A LOT LESS RISK TO ALL
OF FUCKING HUMANITY!??
