Is Congress doing anything to help the millions of workers who could lose their jobs to AI and robotics? No.
They're intimidated by the hundreds of millions the AI industry is pouring into super PACs.
We must ban super PACs and crack down on corruption.
@AnnaDeMilanese Und keiner macht Anstalten Trump aus dem weißen Haus zu zerren. Er zerstört Amerika auf Jahre und bereichert sich und seine verkommene Familie. Unglaublich....Jetzt haben die Amerikaner ihren eigenen Hitler im Land und nichts passiert .
Trump lässt 900 Tiefseesensoren aus dem Atlantik und Pazifik herausziehen – ein 370-Millionen-Dollar-Netzwerk das seit 2016 läuft.
Es sollte 30 Jahre laufen. Es wird nach 10 Jahren gestoppt. Was diese Sensoren messen: Meerestemperaturen. Strömungen. Salzgehalt. CO₂-Aufnahme. El-Niño-Früherkennung. AMOC – den Atlantischen Umwälzstrom der Europas Wetter reguliert. Ozeanograph Ed Dever: „Es ist ein lähmender Informationsverlust."
Project 2025 hatte das Netzwerk explizit als Quelle von „Klimaalarmismus" bezeichnet und seine Abschaltung gefordert.
Der Kongress hatte die Finanzierung zweimal gerettet.
Die NSF zog es trotzdem durch. Die Folgen werden Jahrzehnte dauern. Daten die wir nie mehr bekommen werden. 1/2
🇺🇸🇪🇺
Die Konsequenzen sind real und weitreichend:
Wetter und Klima:
AMOC – der Atlantische Umwälzstrom – könnte zusammenbrechen. Ohne diese Sensoren merken wir es erst wenn es passiert. Das würde Europas Klima dramatisch verändern – kältere Winter, extremere Stürme.
El Niño:
Ohne Pazifik-Sensoren können Wissenschaftler El-Niño-Ereignisse nicht mehr rechtzeitig vorhersagen. El Niño verursacht Dürren in Asien und Afrika, Überschwemmungen in Amerika – Millionen Menschen sind betroffen.
Fischerei:
Fischer weltweit verlieren Daten über Meerestemperaturen und Strömungen – die bestimmen wo Fische sind.
Militär:
U-Boot-Erkennung und Unterwassernavigation basieren teilweise auf Ozeandaten. Kein Zufall dass Russland und China ihre Meeresüberwachung gerade ausbauen.
Das größte Problem:
Diese Daten sind unersetzbar. Wenn das Netzwerk weg ist fehlen Jahrzehnte an kontinuierlichen Messungen. Man kann nicht zurückgehen und nachmessen.

A massive nuclear waste tomb in the Pacific is beginning to crack and leak.
The Runit Dome, constructed in the late 1970s on a remote island in the Marshall Islands, was built to contain over 120,000 tons of radioactive debris left behind by U.S. nuclear testing. Among the waste is plutonium-239, a highly dangerous isotope that remains radioactive for more than 24,000 years.
The dome stretches roughly 377 feet (115 meters) across and was never properly sealed at the base. Instead, it rests directly on porous coral, allowing groundwater to flow freely beneath it.
Now, rising sea levels and increasingly powerful storms are stressing the structure. Cracks have formed in the concrete, and scientists have already detected elevated radiation levels in the surrounding soil and water.
While the current leaks are still considered relatively minor, experts warn that as oceans continue to rise, the risk of a much larger release will grow.
Built as a temporary fix decades ago, the Runit Dome now stands as a stark reminder: the radioactive waste sealed inside it will remain hazardous long after our civilizations are gone.
Iraqi footballer Aymen Hussein issued a statement after being detained and questioned for seven hours upon entering the United States:
“If America is so hostile towards foreign nationals, why is it hosting the #2026WorldCup?”
Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

An Albanian woman explains why RIOTS are erupting across ALBANIA.
Two names she mentions; Ivanka Trump and Albania’s PM Edi Rama.
Albanians are accusing their government of selling out the country while ordinary people pay the price.
@ChuckThePhoenix@moonbabi9 Is there someplace you can have an autopsy done? When my dog died unexpectedly I took her to Michigan State University to find out why. She was 13 years old. Found out her spleen had burst.
TODAY: Flock Security camera torn down in Plainfield Township, MI.
People have begun ripping down these cameras across the country due to privacy concerns over mass surveillance.
Public backlash also intensified after third party audits revealed that FLOCK data was being shared with federal agencies including ICE.
If you live in a country that sends poor people to jail for using drugs, but doesn't send rich people to jail for raping kids, you live in a shit hole country.
I unequivocally condemn misogyny and toxicity against women.
I believe in redemption.

🚨Russian Mirra Andreyeva (19) won the tennis tournament at Roland Garros.
🚨For the first time in history, public broadcasters did not cover the final – because she is Russian.

Russian flags were banned in the stands; anyone who ignored this rule was met by security and had to take them away.
The Russian national anthem was also not allowed to be played.
I think that's a disgrace; it's about performance, and politics shouldn't be mixed with sports.
Her still being on this little press tour to grift for donations almost a year after Charlie’s death makes me believe the rumor that his parents got custody of the kids even more. It’s very telling that not a single one of his relatives have made a public appearance since his death. Not even his parents. They’re not going to the White House to meet Trump or hang out at MAGA events. They grieve in private like normal people while she’s soaked up every ounce of publicity that she can get. What an odd situation. Seems like his family wants to separate themselves from her.
