American scientists were getting support from French and Italian scientists also today standing up for Science. Good show in Corvallis, Newport and Salem in Oregon.

The National Weather Service and other branches of NOAA are vital for ensuring public safety and sustained livelihoods and quality of life. Elected officials are not always aware of the practical consequences of changing the capacity of these agencies. wapo.st/4hX87ZQ
Trump fires hundreds working on weather forecasts, satellite data and radar systems
The terminations come days before a potential severe weather outbreak in the southeastern U.S. — and just months ahead of the next Atlantic hurricane season.

There are days when I am really proud to still be a French citizen. When did US Congressmen lose their backbones?

More true every day
Passage from Carl Sagan’s 1995 book, the demon haunted world. The passage states “ not explaining science seems to me perverse. When you’re in love, you want to tell the world. This book is a personal statement, reflecting, my lifelong love affair with science. but there’s another reason: Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I have a four boating of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time - when the United States is a service or information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those and authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good, and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media. The 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially, a kind of celebration of ignorance.

The premise of American foreign policy to Ukraine, today, is one of grievance. It is worth patiently considering the proposals. They reveal little about Ukraine, but much about America in February 2025.

The only war that Putin is winning is inside Trump’s head. Putin only wins the war on the ground by setting American policy, through Trump.

Immigration: how do countries measure it, and how accurate is this data?
Bar chart showing the number of immigrants in several high-income countries — the total number of immigrants and the number without legal status. Immigrants without legal status are a small minority in most countries — though the US stands out, with an estimated 22% of its immigrant population lacking legal status.
