Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much?
They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs.
Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher.
Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.”
It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

Trump's firings at US weather agency will put lives at risk, scientists say
Scientists and researchers are warning that the Trump administration's firing of hundreds of workers at NOAA, the agency that provides the U.S. government's weather forecasts, will put American lives at risk and stifle crucial climate research.

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%.
We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

Before it's taken offline, I want you to know about the NASA website where you can learn about the stratospheric ozone hole and check on how it's doing. It has cool movies like this one, showing the growth of the ozone hole during the Austral spring last year.

I'm been thinking about an essay called "First they came for the critical race theorists" for a while and it might be time.
Some higher ed organizations who are loudly circling the wagons against federal funding cuts were oddly silent or circumspect about the earlier attacks on CRT and DEI.
I wish there was a better understanding that these attacks are coming because we failed to repel those.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

Trump’s claim that USAID spent $50 million on condoms to “Gaza” was actually Gaza Province, Mozambique. Not that I’d expect average Americans to know Mozambique’s provinces, but this is another example of how failing to educate Americans lets you get away with blatant lies.
