MAGA isn’t just politics—it’s a system of belief. Ritual, grievance, and identity fuse into a fortress where facts can’t penetrate. Breaking it won’t come from evidence, but from new stories of belonging.

Weather satellite data helps meteorologists create weather forecasts that keep planes and ships safe and prepare countries for a potential hurricane landfall. Now, meteorologists are about to lose access to three of those satellites. (via @us.theconversation.com)
Why forecasters are concerned about losing 3 key satellites ahead of peak hurricane season

If Republicans were proud of their bill, they'd debate it in the light of day.

Instead, they're trying to move it under the cover of night like the cult of cowards that they are.

They know that ripping away healthcare and food assistance from millions is harmful and unpopular.

This is an outstanding article on the things we now need to think through and activate about student learning and education. Deep, wide in scope, and intensely thought-provoking. Best article (actually a conversation) on education I’ve read in a long, long time.

In around 12 days, we’re going to be hit with an economic shockwave. That will be 30 days from when Trump began a trade war with China. You see, it takes 30 days for ships to cross the Pacific. What that may mean for all of us, in today’s piece. Link in the replies.
