Rest in peace to those aboard this UPS flight to Hawai'i, and for those on the ground at the Ford plant, petrol recycling plant, and junkyard who lost their lives when the left engine went out at takeoff.

A shelter-in-place has been issued for all of downtown Louisville. Ash is still falling

Woooow knawing? Whats that? Do you mean gnawing?

It is very hard not to see each of these departures as part of a broader purge to establish a military loyal to Trump

Now here they are together, having the time of their lives knawing on chunks of wood & an empty pb jar because they like to DESTROY.

Both had behavior issues when found as strays but now they play together like a dream! ❤️ (yes Boo always sploots)(🚫 judge my messy b.yard)

Now rate Boo, a boisterous boy who followed me home one day and never left (cause I won't let him!). He came to me wounded & starving but he never let that get him down (cause he's always jumping up). He loves to show his tricks; sit, laydown, paw, spin, & sploot!
#dogsofbsky #bskydogs

Rate Juniper, a traumatized pup looking for love and on the road to healing.

Found starving on the street in the 💀 of 🌨, now she enjoys fluffy blankies & & the treats she could eat!

Hey #dogsofbsky rate my dogs!

American farmers are hurting. Trump's trade war is making it worse Farmers are struggling this fall despite a bountiful harvest. Production costs are high, crop prices are low and the trade war has closed off one of their biggest markets.

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning.

They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then:

No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism

AND

Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

Heartening to see so many students sign our open letter openletter.earth/open-letter-...

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — UN chief warns world leaders that humanity has entered 'an age of reckless disruption and relentless human suffering.'

‘Fear and hopelessness’: study finds one in four professors consider leaving US south Survey by American Association of Professors shows nearly quarter of respondents are switching due to states’s politics

That leads to this…brain drain-> www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

What the fuck kind of college student is like "I would like the government to determine what I am and am not allowed to learn about."

Come ON.

How to become a right-wing star? Harass people A Brown student used crummy AI to label university staff as worthless; now he has a Times profile and is testifying to Congress

One dynamic that national coverage of campus speech has understated is the degree of surveillance for the purposes of punishment. In this case, the student wanted anonymity. In other cases, students are trying to build a brand. Few students but big effects.

The student who confronted McCoul declined a request for an interview and did not respond to a list of questions. The Tribune is not naming the student, who is concerned for her safety. After class ended a small group of students stayed back to offer their support for McCoul, including two students who were nonbinary. “Obviously, it was kind of an ambush,” said Lisette Oliva, one of the students in the class. She said the student’s confrontation with the professor felt performative. “I totally understand her feeling uncomfortable, but I definitely think she could've done that on her own time or like emailed the professor,” Oliva said. “Like, she said she already had a meeting scheduled with the president.”

This gets at one of the dynamics that has really changed teaching. Faculty never know when we are being recorded by students, and for what purpose. Hard to maintain conditions of trust in a classroom where political monitors are on hand to report wrongspeak. Literally what happens in China.

I see no difference #chatty #cat #artbyme

When we make being unhoused against the law, we begin to see a shift and spread in dehumanizing rhetoric that should be shamed any time its uttered. Shame the meat!

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

Federal work shaped a Black middle class. Now it's destabilized by Trump's job cuts For generations of Black workers, federal government jobs have provided a path into the middle class. The Trump administration's workforce cuts are now throwing that sense of stability up in the air.

A good example of how systemic policies negatively impact #Black communities & drive poor health outcomes for many. #SDOH

One thing about life… every action WILL cause a reaction.

The egos of men.

WASHINGTON, D.C, (May 2, 2025) — Patricia Harrison, President and CEO of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), issued the following statement today regarding the President’s Executive Order on public media: “CPB is not a federal executive agency subject to the President’s authority. Congress directly authorized and funded CPB to be a private nonprofit corporation wholly independent of the federal government. “In creating CPB, Congress expressly forbade ‘any department, agency, officer, or employee of the United States to exercise any direction, supervision, or control over educational television or radio broadcasting, or over [CPB] or any of its grantees or contractors…’ 47 U.S.C. § 398(c).”

Just a reminder that most of Trump's executive orders are nothing more than press releases.

After he ordered the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to pull funding for NPR and PBS, the CPB responded that it is authorized and funded by Congress and is not subject to the president's authority.

As a journalist girlie I wanna go...mostly for Jameela (lets be honest, I simp for Jameela) but I ain't got disposable income like that right now

If others from #JournalistSky go, I'll live vicariously through you while doing agility exercises in the parking lot of the corporate office where I work

“My MA plan still operates where I live but stopped including any hospitals within an hour’s drive in their network” isn’t a qualifying life event that lets people switch to Traditional Medicare and buy Medigap policies without underwriting.

Maybe it should be.
