So it turns out that in January, *2003*, I wrote an article for @discovermagazine.bsky.social about melting Himalayan glaciers. Quote: "melting glaciers that they could burst their banks within five to 10 years. Hundreds of thousands of people could drown as roads, bridges [...] wash away."
![This is an article in Discover Magazine, January 2003, in which I wrote that "A report issued by the United Nations Environment Program in April [2002] says at least 44 lakes in Nepal and Bhutan are filling so rapidly with icy water from melting glaciers that they could burst their banks within five to 10 years. Hundreds of thousands of people could drown as roads, bridges, and hydroelectric plants wash away."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7elp3lh3d3j2oh2qlo3u347w/bafkreihekqf4d6zcvfjyzerpqc24upq3dsstyrtkujvzlkrx76k5y2vdnu)

My name is Captain Dylan Blaha. Last year, I made several videos reminding US service members to disobey unlawful orders. The military suspended my security clearance and launched a full investigation. Nearly a year later, I now know the outcome.

As of July 1st, Missouri isn't allowing new sign-ups for Dolly's Library. Luckily, I signed my grandson up the day he was born in December. Yesterday, he received his 8th book from Dolly. Republicans in MO are funneling money away from public schools to private "Christian" schools. This is why.
Tried and true method. Can’t get blamed for what you don’t record! Anyone remember Trump suggesting that Covid tests be stopped?

The EPA is scrapping public notice and comment requirements for air pollution permits on new data centers and the power plants needed to run them.

"ICE tactics, already sadistic, are looking increasingly like torture," writes @judith-levine.bsky.social. "The slim avenues to legal recourse and the refusal of transparency or accountability by the perpetrators of de jure and de facto torture are driving detainees to desperate measures..."

"Almost Two Dozen Young People..." DL Hughley Sounds the Alarm Something is seriously wrong. DL Hughley asks the question nobody wants to answer.
I see a lot of my Republican colleagues are pretending to be alarmed by the national debt. Give me a break. Those concerns would have been useful before they voted for a bloated defense budget, blank checks for a lawless ICE operation, and tax breaks for the richest of the rich.

US child vaccination rates have plunged since before the pandemic, with kindergarten classrooms in more than 70% of counties now lacking herd immunity against measles.
Important to remember that most if not all the antivaxxers you ever see or hear are vaccinated against things like measles. Their whole movement is forcing children to take the risks that they never do (because they think children are property)

This is why I don’t have much hope for the Democrats. Can’t even unite about how to deal with ICE. Completely out of touch with their base. We’re mad as hell and we’re not gonna take it anymore. If the Dems don’t want to lead, get out of the way of the people who do. apnews.com/article/demo...
