They shut it down because it’s inconvenient for those in power to be limited by environmental regulations. It costs them money, and they won’t have that.
This was where I worked. This was where research showed that BPA harmed babies, Pesticides created 6 legged frogs and PCBs cause cancer among other things. The EPA is a superhero from protecting human health and the health of our water and air. Ask WHY they would shut this down?
Today, the Environmental Protection Agency announced it will shut down its Office of Research and Development and eliminate thousands of agency jobs. According to the agency, this office has long served as the scientific backbone of its efforts to protect both public health and the environment.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

Trump’s ICE just “mistakenly” kidnapped a man with protected status and no record married to a U.S. citizen with a disabled child who is a citizen and sent him to an El Salvadoran hard labor prison — and say they can’t do anything about it

People of the internet: you know what to do.
![REYES: [The order] calls an entire category of people dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, who lack integrity, people who have taken an oath to defend this country, people who have been under fire, people who have received medals for taking fire for this country. I want to know from the government whether that language expresses 'animus.' Does that express animus?
DOJ ATTORNEY: Not in any constitutional -
REYES: In a commonsense way. This is a policy from the President of the United States affecting thousands of people... to call an entire group of people, lying dishonest people who are undisciplined, immodest and have no integrity. How is that anything other than showing animus?
DOJ ATTORNEY: I don't have an answer for you.
REYES: You do have an answer, you just don't want to give it... People can make solid arguments as to why some or even most transgender people shouldn't be in the military... We're dealing with unadulterated animus. We are dealing with the president of the United States dealing with a group of people serving their country... calling them liars.
(Reyes then said she changed her courtroom orders to bar people who graduated from UVA law school from appearing before her because "they're all liars and lack integrity and are undisciplined and can't possibly meet the high rigors of benign a lawyer for the government" She made the DOJ lawyer sit down on that basis, then after he did, she called him back up and asked whether that was a display of animus.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6akvkyjmvvs6yuzj57duwh6o/bafkreie2h2tftmi22abfnjl6cz6uxoyajxe7na7g4gy7wm2e2k2q3rkyrq@jpeg)

A teacher emailed me & said "My scientist didn't reply to me. My scientists ALWAYS reply to me! What the heck!".
I was like "Well. Science is kinda crumbling. Friends/colleagues are losing their jobs or at least funding, & some are being told to cease all outside communications".
She hadn't heard.

And if compassion doesn’t move you, asshole,how about the fact that the people with the mad skills at organizing, the ones who’ve been tried and tested on the front lines, are in the red and purple states?
If you say we abandon red states, you kill a lot of dear friends of mine so fuck right off with that. We don't leave gerrymandered, vulnerable, decent people behind because of a zip code, you sanctimonious dicks.

Please keep in mind that this first week or two of the Trump presidency was supposed to be a barrage of horrific policies to promote terror and fear.
His administration won’t be able to sustain this level of activity. Many of his actions will be tied up in courts for months or years.

As we remember and honor the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I'm thinking of his words that remain especially relevant on this day:
“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character — that is the goal of true education.”

Friends don't let friends use Duolingo. When it comes to Japanese, there are so many better ways to learn than giving money to a company that's firing its workers and replacing them with AI. Here's our roadmap for a cheap and effective Duolingo alternative.

I'm not saying the shooter was in the right. But although I'm sorry for his family's loss, I have no sympathy for Brian Thompson. If you punch down for long enough, someone will punch back.
