Trump’s environmental rollbacks contradict RFK’s healthy America promise, report finds

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

It doesn't matter.
It's not good enough.
It won't change things.
It's just cosmetic.
It should have happened years ago.
It doesn't mean anything.
It's too late.
It doesn't make up for the fact that...

Pissing on glimmers of hopefulness isn't tough-minded. It's just wallowing in a comfort zone.

“You got signed judicial warrant to gain access to the scene and we’re still denied access by federal agents?”

“Yes, that’s accurate.”

We are so cooked 🇺🇸

“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..”

A photo of the man murdered by ICE today, just before the shooting. He’s standing and holding a phone in his right hand and holding his empty left hand to the sky and looking behind him at a woman running away while an ICE agent closes in on him from the front. On the ground behind the man is a woman that the victim will soon try to help, leading several ICE agents to attack him and pin him to the ground, before shooting him several times.

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

Does anyone have any idea how we break the echo chambers? No Trump voter in my family will ever know what actually happened to Alex Pretti or Renee Good. They will believe the officers were justified. They will watch Fox News and that will be the end of it.

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Not just the United States.

Unfit for Office Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

In the six-plus years since, every mental health professional I have come across has told me that my essay had it exactly right. I think every word of it has been proven right many times over.

Even today, he's still only going to get worse.

Immigrant corridors in both Minneapolis and St. Paul nearly shut down by intensifying ICE actions Revenue down from 50% to 100% at immigrant businesses along Lake Street and in St. Paul’s east side. Businesses say the impact is worse than COVID’s.

Roughly 80% of immigrant-owned businesses along key corridors in Minneapolis and St. Paul have closed in the past week as employees and customers stay home in fear of ICE agents detaining them.

After he is gone, I want to see these plaques installed in the Smithsonian, accompanied by intelligent critical curatorial commentary-- perhaps peppered with a healthy dose of ridicule--to help museum vistors contextualize this aberrant and abhorrent period in American history.

Scientists warn federal funding cuts could undermine walleye recovery in Minnesota The Trump administration froze grant money awarded to the Midwest Climate Adaptation Science Center in August and wants to cut its budget next year.

President Donald Trump’s proposed 2026 budget would eliminate all federal funding for Midwest Climate Adaptation Science Center and the other eight regional climate science centers, which Congress began establishing in 2008.

Another mass shooting—this time at Brown University. When Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban was in place, mass shooting deaths dropped by 43%. After George W. Bush and Republicans let it expire, deaths skyrocketed by 239%.

It’s the guns. No more thoughts and prayers.” They don’t stop bullets.

Words can’t express my rage. At least 2 students on lockdown at Brown University already survived mass shootings.
Zoe Weissman survived Parkland in 2018.
Mia Tretta was shot in the stomach in Santa Clarita in 2019 and watched her best friend be murdered.

And now…again.

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
