Leonardo José Colmenares Solórzano, a 31-year-old Venezuelan, wants the world to know that he was tortured over four months in a Salvadoran prison.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

We are a nation that is great, not because of those trying to whitewash our history to remove great people, natives, blacks & women from our military websites. I don’t want a Disneyfication of our history... Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness. Sen. Booker

The decision to end research on vaccine hesitancy is deeply disrespectful of those who have lost or will lose loved ones to vaccine-preventable disease.

Making a quick trip to DC today to talk about poetry and democracy with @sifill.bsky.social.
I believe poetry brings us back to ourselves and deepens the color of reality. Poetry gives us language we can use to connect to each other. It’s always vital, but especially when truth is under siege.

Obscurantism informing policy.
The Trump administration is planning to cancel its lease at a government laboratory in Hawaii, a site where scientists support key observations of surging greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, according to a list obtained by Democratic members of Congress and shared with The Post.
Trump moves to close facility that helps track planet-warming pollution
The lab is connected to the Mauna Loa Observatory, where scientists gather data to produce the Keeling Curve, a chart on the daily status of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.
