USFS programs “0’d out” in Administration’s budget – please help! please – this should be you!!!! In early May I posted a blog about the Trump Administration’s proposed budget – saying that it would eliminate funding for nearly all  USFS research & Fore…

U.S. Forest Service zeroed out Forest Health Protection and Research & Development for FY26… www.nivemnic.us?p=5530

Let's dive into this a bit. A short and very incomplete thread on US Forest Service research. 1/

Aaaand there it is.

I’d love the binaries poster as a shirt!! 😍

It’s Teacher Appreciation Week and the hill I will die on is that public school teachers should be paid more than cops

Robert De Niro is expressing his love and support for his daughter Airyn De Niro, after she recently shared publicly for the first time that she is transgender. cnn.it/3EY1msu

Missouri lawmakers are currently pushing or reviewing 39 anti-LGBTQ+ bills this session. Many of the bills target transgender Missourians—they aim to ban gender-affirming care, target drag shows and performers, and restrict participation on sports teams that align with athletes’ gender identities.

Federal workers SAVE the government money, that’s why firing them is COSTING the government money. This isn’t difficult.

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

These are the accomplishments?

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

There will come a day when folks realize that the 2016 election was stolen, as was the 2024 election.

That sounds crazy to say now, conspiracy stuff… but just wait. Hell, bookmark this.

Different methods were used for each, but it will come out.

Then we are gonna have ourselves a real mess.

With CDC injury prevention team gutted, 'we will not know what is killing us' Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.

Entire teams based at the CDC's injury center that focused on motor vehicle crashes, child maltreatment, rape prevention and education, drowning, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other issues were eliminated.

DOJ sues Maine over refusing to comply with transgender athlete ban The suit over Maine’s refusal to ban transgender athletes from women’s sports escalates a months-long standoff between the state and the Trump administration.

This is why I love Maine. We’ll visit every chance we get. These Trump clowns mask hate and discrimination under the banner of “protecting women” - but they are lying hypocrites. Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️ www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Money for the Head Start program, which provides early child care and education for low-income families and is funded by HHS’s Administration for Children and Families, would be eliminated. “The federal government should not be in the business of mandating curriculum, locations and performance standards for any form of education,” the document says.

As reported last week, Trump is going to kill Head Start, utterly screwing 750,000 children who rely on it for child care and preschool and a million parents who count on it to stay in the workforce.

Trump administration says Harvard may lose ability to enroll foreign students The Department of Homeland Security Secretary also announced the termination of two grants totaling more than $2.7 million to Harvard.

The US Department of Homeland Security said Harvard University will lose its ability to enroll foreign students if it does not meet demands from the Trump administration to share information on some visa holders reut.rs/3Epegj7

For months we have reported on the @electiontruth.bsky.social data, & the vote-flipping algorithm in swing states & TX.

We HAVE constitutional avenues to remove this illegitimate administration:
- Acknowledge the stolen election
- Inform the people
- Invoke the 14th/Sec 3
- Remove them from office

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it.

Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids.

Don’t let this go!!!

American teen was killed by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank. The U.S. has said little about it. “We have a U.S. citizen, a child, who was murdered in cold blood,” one official told NBC News. “Why should we not be treated equally as any other American?”

A 14-year-old American boy and his two friends were gunned down by Israeli soldiers Sunday night.

Their largely American village in the West Bank is wondering why Trump and the U.S. government have said so little about the killing of one of its citizens.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

‘We are all afraid’: Speaking to Alaska nonprofit leaders, Murkowski gets candid on upheaval in federal government During a 45-minute discussion, the senator discussed a number of topics, ranging from protests to illegal withholding of funds to widespread anxiety.

U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski told a room full of Alaska nonprofit leaders that the tumult of tariffs, executive orders, court battles, and cuts to federal services under the Trump administration are exceptionally concerning.

Gaza is a ‘killing field’ where people are being starved. How long will the world tolerate this? | Arwa Mahdawi What is happening is, quite simply, annihilation. Yet our politicians keep funding it and media outlets normalize it

Water is being used as a weapon of war. In early March, Israel cut off the electricity supply to Gaza’s main operational desalination plant. “Gaza is a killing field, and civilians are in an endless death loop,” UN secretary general, António Guterres. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

4 international students in Alaska lose visas ‘without prior warning’ amid Trump administration crackdown One of the students is Jean Kashikov, a citizen of Kazakhstan who began studying at UAA on a student visa in 2019 and planned to spend one year working in Alaska as a flight instructor.

Jean Kashikov, a citizen of Kazakhstan who began studying in Alaska on a student visa in 2019, is one of at least four UAA students or recent graduates who abruptly lost their visas in recent days.

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime.

As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.
