Here at Head Start, we offer a divers— um, a wide array of lessons from dedicated men and wom— dedicated male and fe— er, from guys and gals devoted to education, able to help all students, including any with learning disabil— uh challenges.
According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

Stuff with the US and Venezuela is bad and likely to get worse, but this seized tanker is reportedly owned by a Russian oligarch, and was sanctioned by the US Treasury in 2022 due to suspected involvement in illegal oil smuggling with Iran. Plus breaking maritime law re: flags.

Not piracy. Not war.

Just discovered an insane new form of co-intelligence where you briefly share the mind of a great thinker in history and then a portion of their mind travels in yours for the rest of your life. Calling it a "book."

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

#OtD 10 Dec 1983 Argentina’s right-wing military dictatorship ended. It was responsible for the murder and disappearance of approximately 30,000 people since 1976- mostly trade unionists, socialists, communists and Jews.

Something Pamela Jo Bondi has expunged from the Epstein Files: anything to do with Melania Trump’s connection with Jeffrey Epstein. Melania knew him *before* Trump. Epstein introduced Melania to Donald on Epstein’s plane, where they immediately had sex. I wonder if she was procured for that purpose.

Federal law requires the main Pass to feature the winning photo of the #NationalParks Foundation’s annual public lands photo contest. Instead the Department of the Interior replaced it with a closeup of President Trump’s face.

Hotter planet → worse air. Climate change accounted for around 49% of western US smoke particulate matter concentrations from 1997–2020 and for 58% of the region’s increasing trend in smoke particulate since 2010, according to a study. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/LBw650XH2nn

How about the Court might look favorably on it if you stopped doing the illegal, immoral , indecent things you are doing?

I've been to 10 UN climate meetings and the public delegates are important to-- the public delegates. A play of their own imagination. Those fossil fuel corporations and those who calculate their products as still the most efficient, have access in every capital every day. Try to stop being idiots.
Is there some advantage to pretending your government, the EU, and the other multilateral nation organizations are neutral and influenced by reason, are innocent and even sympathetic to your climate position? Am I missing the sophisticated trick in this pretense, the better positioning for you?
The climate needs a fair, fast and funded fossil fuel phase-out, so why did EU governments roll out the red carpet for the oil and gas industry at #COP30?

Our take on this year's UN climate talks and what went down.

"we’ve never seen in recent history a chemical that’s accumulating in so many media at such a high rate," @hanspeterarp.bsky.social told us, "It’s accumulating in our tap water, the food we’re eating, plants, trees, the sea, and all in the past few decades.”

David Behringer told us, “If you’re drinking water, you’re drinking a lot of TFA". A type of PFAS, classed by German regulators as 'reprotoxic' - potentially damaging to fertility + child development - TFA is produced when F-gases used in refrigeration, or PFAS in pesticides begin to degrade.

🚨 Testing from @anses-fr.bsky.social has found that #PFASpollution in tap water is ubiquitous across France and its overseas territories.

⚠️ TFA, a short-chain PFAS, was found in 92% of the samples, often at high concentrations.

There are no controls over what enters illegal waste pits - they can contain any kind of harmful chemical with no barriers to prevent them contaminating air, water or soil - with potentially catastrophic results for people's health. Catch the full episode here:
