Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose
The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.
Head of NASA Sean Duffy intends to destroy a satellite that collects key data on carbon dioxide and plant health, by causing it to burn up in the atmosphere. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture and private agriculture firms use the data to forecast crop yield, drought conditions and more.

Carbon dioxide removal research should be government funded and government led, like the Manhattan Project.

No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely.
But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely.
Miss me with this bs.

Yes, enough with taking the moral high road. Dems are in a war and the sooner they start acting like it, the better. Stop unilaterally disarming.

Jesus Christ, how clueless. There's Trump blood in the water and she wants to move on. This is why Dems lose. They're political amateurs. Shoot Nancy and the Dem "strategists" into the sun.

Except, of course, their viewpoint would immediately change the moment a Dem wins the presidency. They've given up any pretense of logical consistency.

There has always been a pervasive view among some that a functional society is just a thing that exists, and thus politics is just a team sport that exists independently from consequences

People seriously thinking that White Lotus is more "grownup" than Andor is a good reflection of how we got to the current shit show we're going through in this country.

The U.S. Supreme Court is a completely lawless body that has shredded the Constitution in order to empower a dictator.
We're well beyond "how do we fix this." We're in "we need to figure out how to one day establish The Second United States Republic because the original one is defunct" territory.

The position of ICE/DHS is that there is no law they have to obey, you cannot see their names or faces, you cannot tell anyone where they are or record them, and they can detain anyone indefinitely regardless of citizenship status. This is completely incompatible with a remotely free society

I donโt give a fuck right now where u stand on forgiving student loans, government-run grocery stores, or the Middle East. If u support freedom, democracy, the rule of law, & basic human decency, Iโm with u. Iโm in your tent. Wake the fuck up. Weโre fighting fascism. NOTHING else matters right now.

The American public elected a president and administration who whether they knew it or not was intent on dismantling the very things that made America the economic and cultural envy of the world. That is the story of Trump 2.0.

so much driving motivation in people in even the slightest position of power, regardless of where they find themselves on the political map, is "i should never have to feel bad, feel regret, feel shame, or otherwise reconsider my decisions" and every choice, policy and personal, falling from there
