God dammit

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

[Nashville Zoo @NashvilleZoo]

On Thursday, we asked our community to stand with Nashville Zoo in protecting the animals, habitats and future of the Zoo from a proposed data center next door.

Please keep sharing and contact your local representatives ➡️ https://t.co/q2ISQnxLBK

[🇵🇸 | WillowTheBirdwatcher | Arcee’s #1 Fan @Dopamine_Fan]

this Datacenter is only 200 meters from the zoo. These things make constant noise & heat the surrounding areas by up to 16 degrees. The Nashville Zoo is home to over 350 species of Leopards, Tigers, Rhinos, Zebras, Giraffes, Alligators, Monkeys, & more. Please sign the petition

[Nashville Zoo @NashvilleZoo]

Stand with us to protect the future of Nashville Zoo.

A proposed 69,000-square-foot data center is planned next to the Zoo, but no environmental impact studies have been conducted. Sign our petition to help protect the animals in our care ➡️ https://t.co/q2ISQnxLBK

🦁 Nashville Zoo is asking the public to help oppose a proposed data center planned on neighboring property.

Zoo officials say they are concerned about potential impacts on animals, visitors and natural resources, and want more information about the project's environmental effects before it moves forward.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran has launched a massive ballistic missile and drone attack, striking the US 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain along with US bases in Kuwait, Ali Al Salem + Arifjan, and an oil tanker near Dubai, in response to new US strikes on Qeshm Island and an Iranian oil tanker near the Strait of Hormuz, per Tasnim.

Iran says it has officially abandoned tit-for-tat retaliation, now striking back "at least 1.5x as hard" for every US attack, with IRGC warning "disrupting the security of the Strait of Hormuz will have a heavy price for the invading US military."

If I had a time machine, I'd go back in time and stop The Apprentice from ever becoming a TV show. Really think that would fix a lot of our problems today.

Alligator Alcatraz is closing after one year and wasting $1B to house 1400 immigrants. That's an eye-popping $714,285 per occupant. Everything this administration does is filled with fraud and waste. https://t.co/3DoG1YTjTh
