We’re posting about this now in hopes of drawing public attention to NOAA’s Atlas 15 project which was quietly shut down by the Trump administration before it could be completed. The work was nearly finished and could still be restarted if pressure mounts.

PETA lawsuit says American Kennel Club standards harm bulldogs, other breeds The animal rights group argued that the club’s requirements for French bulldogs, dachshunds and other breeds promote unhealthy attributes that cause suffering.

PETA sued the American Kennel Club on Tuesday over its standards for some dog breeds such as the popular French bulldog, alleging that the requirements endorse unhealthy attributes that cause suffering.

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

Activists in Paris dyed a fountain red to symbolise what they called β€œthe bloodbath” taking place in Gaza. The protesters said a lack of political will to confront Israel’s actions is increasingly being seen as β€œa form of complicity” with genocide.

The Trump administration has reached a deal that will allow Boeing to pay $1.1 billion to avoid criminal prosecution for two deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019, which together killed 346 people.

Many victims' families, however, are still calling for Boeing's day in court.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Add it to the listβ€”now Trump wants to eliminate FEMA? Texas has faced hurricanes, wildfires, and deadly winter storms. Since addressing climate change isn’t a priority for them, it’s only going to get worse. We’re one of the most impacted states. This isn’t just recklessβ€”it’s dangerous.

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent.

Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list.

This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society β€” universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts.

It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

β€œThis is longest that Gaza has been without any supplies since the war began.”

UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini says no humanitarian aid has entered Gaza for more than three weeks now, as Israeli forces continue to seal shut vital border crossings.

This is what the opposition did in the Hungary Parliament when they passed the Pride ban.

If you're horrified by this, please know that just a few people can make a huge difference. We had a small group of maybe 20 regulars and we were able to advocate and raise the alarm through our weekly visits. You can too:

As someone with MAGAparents, fox says he meant they (dems) rigged the election the last time, and now he’s president this time in spite of it. Because the man is illiterate and can’t form a coherent sentence, so they can interpret it however they want.

Judge temporarily blocks deportation of arrested Palestinian Columbia student The Trump administration has not said Khalil is accused of or charged with a crime, but Trump wrote that his presence in the U.S. was "contrary to national and foreign policy interests."

A US judge ordered that Palestinian Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil not be deported for now as part of US President Donald Trump's crackdown on some anti-Israel protesters, and set a court hearing in the case for Wednesday reut.rs/43HIJD4

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Today is rare disease day.

I suffer from two of them: Gastroparesis and CIDP.

Sometimes it makes my work extremely difficult, as if the nature of the work itself isn’t difficult enough already.

300m people in the world live with rare diseases, and they aren’t always visible.

But we exist.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

If you aren’t angry, you aren’t listening, or at the very least you need to start reading and learning what is going on in the world around us. It doesn’t have to be this way. We don’t have to comply.

Instead of joining together to fight the billionaires that are shitting on our rights, public services, and societal protections, we are arguing over whether trans people should have the right to exist or women should have the right to choose what they do with their own bodies.

The United States is fully an oligarchy where the rich do whatever they want while ignoring the will of the people. Statistically the will of the voter has no consequence on what laws are actually put into place, and that was even before Trump was re-elected.

…that we pay for, focusing on dismantling programs and departments that protect national parks, veterans, humanitarian aid, etc. instead of cutting actual wasteful spending within the department of defense, including the money that goes into his own pockets.

Sharing AI videos of β€œTrump Gaza” where he turns the strip into a tourist destination while turning a blind eye as Israel slaughters Palestinians and violates ceasefire deals. And now within our own government an unelected billionaire is running unchecked through government organizations…
