Americorp? Really? ‼️⚖️
NEW: AmeriCorps, the US federal agency that oversees volunteerism and service work, abruptly pulled teams of young people out of a variety of community service projects across the country on Tuesday, @wired.com has learned. @mollytaft.com w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/doge-c...
DOGE Cuts Pull AmeriCorps Volunteers Off of Disaster Relief Jobs
The youth volunteers who were working on projects ranging from rebuilding homes destroyed in storms to distributing supplies for hurricane recovery were suddenly pulled from service. Why? DOGE cuts.

Seeing this in the present, is horrifying… How can this be happening today? Lord have mercy.
“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Just to be clear, I’m advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

Blimey. Asked about Trump, Merz says he’s in close contact with European leaders about becoming “independent” from US (and confesses “I never thought I’d say that on TV show”). Casts doubt on value of NATO summit in June.
This from a die-hard Atlanticist. Things are moving fast.

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA.
The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

Many Latino immigrants in Los Angeles worked to extinguish some of the fires with hoses. They aren't firefighters, they were just helping people in other neighborhoods.

Any Aussies interested in some citizen science? This would be a standout on your resume!! 😆
If you are in Australia, oh boy, do I have a citizen science project for you. Ready? Researchers are looking for people to chart their farts! That’s right. Chart your farts for science. There’s even an app! research.csiro.au/cshw/project... 💨🧪
CHART YOUR FART - Citizen Science in Health and Wellbeing
We all fart! Some more than others! Some louder than others? Some smellier than others! And some funnier than others!

This is a must read! Why does haka resonate with non-Māori, why does it evoke an emotional reaction? I think @moatatamaira.bsky.social’s words about why, nail it. Excellent piece.
I want you all to know that I valiantly ignored vacuuming to write this piece about yesterday's haka, haka in general, and why I think it resonates so far. #kikorangi

It's the haka heard around the world but why does it resonate so much with people outside of Aotearoa New Zealand?
