On Tuesday, a federal appeals court said Trump was wrong to terminate climate funding. His EPA will ask SCOTUS to step in, but it's a definite setback for the Republican effort to dismantle environmental protection laws in Biden's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

Divided federal appeals court says Trump administration was wrong to terminate climate funds

The split ruling is a loss for the Trump administration in one of its earliest efforts to dismantle President Joe Biden’s campaign to reduce greenhouse gases.

El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.

Among other problems, the bill would impose or incentivize age-verification systems, restrict young people’s access to lawful information, and create risks that adults could lose access to accounts or data after being mistakenly identified as minors. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

RFK Jr. ordered the CDC to stop tracking cyclosporiasis, because, well, "If you don't track it, you don't have any cases." Now, with people dying from it, the story can no longer be covered up. RFK Jr. needs to be put in a place where he can no longer harm people.

The Marx Bros' film debut THE COCOANUTS was released #OTD in 1929. It's public domain and widely available. I'm so happy to see films age out of copyright protection, but still stream in pristine transfers. It's such a paradigm shift from the days when P.D. often meant poor quality dupes. #FilmSky

Breaking: ICE is funneling massive DNA data into the FBI’s database, targeting immigrants, children, & even peaceful protesters. Expanding government reach to track families & build a nationwide surveillance system is terrifying. We must fight for privacy & justice! newrepublic.com/post/213887/...

ICE Is Using Immigration Arrests to Build a Massive DNA Database

A new report accused the agency of “abusing” its power for policing.

It's wild that some Americans who selfishly did things that wound up spreading Covid more are looking to blame governments and scientists for deaths that are likely more suited to be hung around their own necks.

Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.

Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 6d ago

People still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.

I remember the first Thanksgiving/Christmas season during Covid where some people insisted they shouldn't be stopped from seeing their families, went on airplanes, spread Covid all over the place even more and either died or caused their family members to die.

1026 teachers have fled Fort Worth ISD after Abbott's dismantle-public-education board's hostile takeover. The best teachers leave FIRST. Deep local experience, staff connections, CANNOT BE REPLACED with hiring. It will take decades to undo this damage, manufactured in only months🇺🇸
