He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism
“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'
*More of this, please*"

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.
Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

Trying not to overreact to every single thing Trump does
Among other things, when you've always got the dial at 10, people stop noticing
But this looks pretty troubling -- and the public health researchers I consulted think so too www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Looks Like Donald Trump's War On Science Is Underway
His team at HHS has paused critical communications and meetings, right as public health officials are worried about bird flu.

key point. nuclear waste is a problem, but it is not even in the same ball park as fossil fuel pollution. a rounding error by comparison bsky.app/profile/jess...
The entire history of US civilian nuclear power, which has produced 1/5th of our electricity for decades with no CO2 or air pollution, has produced less than 100,000 tons of high level waste. We burn billions of tons of fossil fuels EVERY YEAR.
