Thank you @gizmodo.com for covering this illegal actions by OMB. Full article: gizmodo.com/white-house-...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

We can look in shock at what was said & done a decade ago, but similar things are probably happening right now, and possibly right under our noses too - as wealthy individuals are becoming increasingly part of the science funding ecosystem for universities.

Indigenous communities raise concerns over heightened ICE actions across the country As immigration enforcement expands nationwide, Native families say increased ICE activity is creating fear in their communities, even among U.S. citizens and tribal members.

Indigenous communities nationwide are increasingly reporting encounters with immigration agents, including detention — despite them being U.S. citizens and members of sovereign tribal nations.

Wow. 🤯

RFK Jr. made promises to get his job as health secretary. He's broken many of them In his confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told U.S. senators that he would not cut funding for vaccine research or change the nation's official vaccine recommendations. He did both.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Renee Good's partner addresses Minneapolis immigration crackdown one month after killing Becca Good has seldom spoken out since Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

Twenty-three nominations, yet no Nobel prize: how Chien-Shiung Wu missed out on the top award in physics – Physics World Mats Larsson and Ramon Wyss reveal why Chien-Shiung Wu never won a Nobel prize

Many people have wondered why the Chien-Shiung Wu never won the Nobel Prize for Physics. New findings from the Nobel archives, exclusively revealed in Physics World, show she was nominated 23 times by 18 different physicists - and yet was still left empty-handed. 🧪⚛️

Can’t stop thinking about the gargantuan gulf between the kid glove, caveat-laden, “having your name all over the Epstein files doesn’t mean you did anything wrong”-treatment of the men in Epstein’s inbox… and the brutalize first, ask questions later policing in Minneapolis.

We know that 4more children from Liam's school are still in ICE custody in TX. But we still do not know how many children from MN in total have been detained by ICE.

Children in ICE Detention Skyrocket in Trump’s Second Term With a six-fold jump in children in detention, advocates allege harrowing conditions are putting kids’ lives at risk.

The number of children in ICE detention on a given day has skyrocketed, jumping more than sixfold since the start of the second Trump administration. We analyzed data obtained by the Deportation Data Project and found that ICE held around 170 children on an average day under Trump.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

This figure is misleading; the actual reduction was significantly higher. Here are at least two reasons why:

On the birthday of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr, we’re also remembering the life of fellow civil rights activist Claudette Colvin, who passed away on Tuesday at age 86.

We Found More Than 40 Cases of Immigration Agents Using Banned Chokeholds and Other Moves That Can Cut Off Breathing Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government ...

Suddenly, dozens of planes in the area must scramble to get out of a newly designated FAA "debris zone."

Their passengers are now unwitting participants in a test run gone wrong. (THREAD)

The dinosaur extinction event is my personal unit for getting a sense of astronomical time. For instance, if the local bubble formed 1-2 Myr ago, that’s After Dinos = very recent!!

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Viola Fletcher, oldest survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, dies at 111 A century after a White mob destroyed her prosperous Black community in 1921, she became a plaintiff in a symbolic lawsuit seeking reparations.

Viola Fletcher, one of the last two known survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and a plaintiff in a symbolic lawsuit seeking reparations for the attack — one of the worst episodes of racial violence in American history — has died. She was 111.

Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation
