Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Oh, does it benefit the US to provide aid to foreign countries? That would have been good to know back in January and February.

This is the *most* British science story.
Rain ☔️
Enthusiastic amateurs.
Quietly recording 1000s of records.
To be mirrored later by the volunteers who digitised each of those original hand written numbers.
Sometimes it’s not the data - it’s the people that make the story.

The Rainfall Observers
Over the past three centuries, thousands of people across the British & Irish Isles have recorded rainfall, often every day for decades. Here we recognise some of the individuals who made particularly important contributions.

It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.

Probably won't even be in the top 10 of awful things Trump will do this week, but the President has just nominated someone to head the BLS who is a running joke among other economists for his ignorance of basic statistics... 🙄

We've become so accustomed to lawbreaking that this probably won't ripple much, but it is important not to forget that firing the IRS Commissioner for refusing to break the law--if that's in fact what happened here--would and should prompt immediate articles of impeachment in any other presidency.
🚨 WaPo EXCLUSIVE
Hours before Trump removed Billy Long as IRS commissioner, his agency clashed with the White House over sharing immigrants’ tax data.

IRS, White House clashed over immigrants’ data before tax chief was ousted
The Trump administration’s move to push out IRS Commissioner Billy Long came after the agency said it couldn’t release some information on taxpayers suspected of being here illegally.

In any sort of normal presidency and media environment, this would destroy the entire administration and force multiple cabinet resignations as well as the president himself.

Professor: Oppdrett slipper ut like mye fosfor og nitrogen som 40-60 millioner mennesker (+)
Ifølge beregninger fra professor Espen Lydersen slipper den norske oppdrettsnæringen ut like mye nitrogen og fosfor i havet fra Rogaland til russergrensen som 40–50 millioner mennesker.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.
