Sad that in the USA, science is looked at through a lens of conspiracy theories. Stupidity and paranoia will kill us. We need to ensure research is funded.

Another distraction but this one will cost American lives. Not even approved by Congress! If they allow him to get away with this, they need to be voted out! This doesn’t make the USA safer!

Kansas invalidates driver’s licenses, birth certificates of over 1,000 transgender residents The Kansas state government has invalidated the driver’s licenses and birth certificates of transgender residents who changed the gender on those documents, in accordance with a law that took effect o...

When fascists take rights away from a group of people, they never stop there. Eventually, they come for everything. Invalidating the drivers licenses of trans people in Kansas is just the start. Who will be next?

Aggression is the ultimate crime from which all the smaller atrocities flow. What is happening here is that the world indulged America’s insane, relentless violence and will to dominate, and so we have had decades of them getting worse, more murderous and flagrant.

US farmers are rejecting multimillion-dollar datacenter bids for their land: β€˜I’m not for sale’ Families are navigating the tough choice between unimaginable riches and the identity that comes with land

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland.

Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M.

America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech.

This is what integrity looks like.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

DVDs and public transit: Boycott drives people to ditch Big Tech to protest ICE A sweeping boycott has begun β€” targeting tech giants who participants believe are enabling President Trump and his immigration crackdown.

The campaign, "Resist and Unsubscribe" isn't for everyone, but it should be. If we hope to derail the MAGA authoritarian regime that has taken hold of the United States, this is the most powerful statement that can be made. Hit 'em where it hurts! πŸ—½ www.npr.org/2026/02/07/n...

This is so embarrassing.

The cartel drones Pam Bondi was sounding the alarm about during the hearing turned out to be… party balloons.

This administration is so incompetent.

Two of them were convicted drug traffickers. But hey, they were former NFL players so they shouldn’t have to endure those kinds of things on their records. As usual, follow the money.
