A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

🐧 GREAT OCEAN NEWS 🐧

The SA government has finally declared no-take zones around key African Penguin breeding colonies.

My friends at SANCCOB have worked tirelessly for many years to make this happen, and they deserve to be widely praised for this hard-fought victory.

According to Trump and his cabal

It’s illegal to criticize him

Voice dissent to a side he disfavors in an armed conflict

Represent anyone who opposes him in a court of law

Receive grants-even if they were approved-with which he disagrees

Or protest corrupt billionaires if they’re his friends
Trump at the DOJ: "I believe that CNN and MSNDC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat Party. And in my opinion, they are really corrupt and they are illegal. What they do is illegal."

The news has been more than a bit grim of late, so hooray for @carbonbrief.org providing some genuine and really meaningful **good** news: the UK's carbon emissions in 2024 were the lowest since 1872, because demand for fossil fuels just keeps decreasing.
