Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)

To my surprise, CDC is still tracking how many children RFK condemns to measles. Cases are getting younger and, of course, it is spreading faster.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Declining body size is a widely anticipated response to #anthropogenic #ClimateChange, but how general is it? @lbuckley.bsky.social &co use a >50-year study of montane #grasshoppers to show that size shifts depend on both elevation & species’ seasonal timing 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/3CEBrF6
