Trump administration says it won't publish major climate change reports on NASA website as promised The Trump administration has made it harder for people, local and state governments to find critical climate change reports.

As I say here, β€œThis document was written for the American people, paid for by the taxpayers, and it contains vital information we need to keep ourselves safe in a changing climate, as the disasters that continue to mount demonstrate so tragically and clearly.”

The Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration has been important to my scholarship as a historian of immigration. This administration is closing it down, the latest attempt to censor information that challenges the administration’s lies.

It’s refreshing to see that even the pope has that one crazy relative in Florida. 😏

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

Bottom line: This analysis confirms for me that Bluesky is a more reliable platform for seeing the content you want, especially on climate topics. Its lack of algorithm means that engagement here depends on YOU!

What’s it been like for you on these platforms? Does ⬆️ track with your experience?

It’s what he’s not talking about (yet) but planning that worries me. One has to wonder if this is all a distraction. He loves to destabilize.

I don’t doubt he has imperialist dreams, but as he distracts us with Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal, the cabal is putting the pieces in place for their domestic fascist agenda. Stay focused.

UNC System: Hey humanities, it costs too much to make students think critically. Let’s cut back. But we still want you to service Gen Ed classes. Except those courses that smell of DEI.
