Literally gagging at this.

Whether 15, 8, or 5, they are all CHILDREN. A 15-year-old is not "barely legal" - she is a CHILD. Not legal. Not OK. Pre-pubescent or post-pubescent, they are all children. Do not normalize this.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

YouTube video by PBS NewsHour Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: 'The science world is ending'

A poll from the journal Nature found that 75% of researchers in the U.S. are considering leaving the country. That includes a man who’s been dubbed the "Mozart of Math." (This PBS story on the scientific brain drain is heartbreaking & ominous for medicine, imo.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLvO...

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?

$2733.15 a month.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Texas Tech Moves to Limit Academic Discussion to 2 Genders

“I’m emotionally shellshocked right now,” said one professor in the Texas Tech system. “What does it say about academic freedom? It says we don’t have it.”

THIS BULLSHIT TWEET

I CANT KEEP QUIET ANYMORE

officialjackwhite "Jack White is a washed up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career," wrote Cheung. "It's apparent he's been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of The People's House."--White House Communications Director Steven Cheung Listen, I'm an artist and not a politician so I'm in no need to give my answer or opinion on anything if I'm not inspired or compelled, but how funny that it wasn't me calling out trump's blatant fascist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his racist remarks about Latinos, Native Americans, etc. his ridiculous "wall" construction, his attacks on the disabled his attempted coup and mob insurrection and destruction of the sacred halls of congress, his disparaging sexist and pedophilic remarks about women, his obvious attempts at distraction about being a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein and his inclusion in the Epstein files, his ignorance of the dying children in Sudan, Gaza, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, his lack of empathy for military veterans and those struggling with poverty, his attempts to dismantle healthcare, his obvious wimpy and pathetic kowtowing to the dictators Putin and Kim Jong Un, his nazi like rallies, his attempts to sell merchandise and products like Goya beans through the office of the President, his fake "gunshot to the ear" that he showed no medical records or photographs of his constant, constant lying to the American people, etc. etc. No, it wasn't me calling out any of that, it was the fucking DECOR OF THE OVAL OFFICE remarks I made that got them to respond with insults. How petty and pathetic and thin skinned could this administration get? Masquerading as a real artist? Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here's my opinion, trump is masquerading as a human being.

officialjackwhite He's masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy. He's been masquerading as a businessman for decades as nothing he's involved in has prospered except by using other people's money to find loophole after loophole and grift after grift. His staff of professional liar toadies like Steven Cheung and Karoline Leavitt have been covering up and masking his fascism as patriotism and "ample time on at golf than helping ANYONE in the country. Improve. Anything. There progress with him, only smoke and mirrors and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. So maga folk, enjoy your concrete paving over of the rose garden, your 200 million dollar ballroom in the White House, and your gaudy ass gold spray painted trinkets from Home Depot, cause he ain't spending any money agenda. on helping YOU unless you fit into his white supremascist country club rich idiot. No intelligent person can defend this low life fascist. This bankrupter of casinos. This failed seller of trump steaks, trump vodka, trump water, etc. This man and his goon squad have failed upwards for decades and have fleeced the American people over and over. This professional golf cheat, this grifter who has hundreds of thousands of deaths from his inaction of the pandemic on his hands, this man that the majority of the country somehow were fooled into supporting and voting into office (through the flawed electoral college) and their love of reality television stars. Being insulted by the actual White House that this particular conman leads is a badge of honor to me, because anyone who trump supports and likes is a villain who gives nothing to their fellow man, only takes what can benefit themselves. And no I'm not a Democrat either, I'm a human being raised in Detroit, I'm an artist who's owned his own businesses like his own upholstery shop and recording label since he was 21 years old who has enough street sense to know when a 3 card monte dealer is a cheap grifter and a thief.

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats.

Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

Why does Australia have earthquakes? The whole continent is under stress from distant forces

Australia is a long way from the tectonic plate boundaries where most earthquakes happen – but we can’t escape the forces they create.

YouTube video by Alaska Earthquake Center Early View of Tracy Arm Landslide Features

Alaska Earthquake Center posted a nice explainer video with some of the video reconnaissance following the recent #landslide and #tsunami in Tracy Arm, south of Juneau, Alaska. It’s a whopper! 🧪⚒️

Nothing like a second trip to the ER to make our vacation great again. #MOVGA. Did I get that one right?

US customs stopped me and put me in a room for questioning The woman didn’t like it when I told her I was on vacation Asked me if I was on drugs. Did drugs or had drugs on me? In my carryon or backpack. What was the issue? I traveled for 5+ weeks without checking a bag and how I could afford it. 1/2

Although large earthquakes generates strong shaking over a wide area, this is somewhat mitigated by the rupture being offshore. But if the rupture breaks the ocean floor, it generates destructive a tsunami that can spread across the ocean basin in the hours that follow.

Bricks falling off roofs is one of the reasons why you should not leave a building during an earthquake. Drop, cover, and hold on instead. www.earthquakecountry.org/step5/?fbcli...

For everyone paying attention to earthquake & tsunami info, a lot of funding for tsunami & earthquake monitoring comes from NOAA, but the fed gov is cutting their funding. Call your legislators, tell them to fund NOAA & USGS, who in turn funds regional network operators, like AK Earthquake Center
