I’m seeing that this is irreversible. That the only way the country will get lands like this back is if the corps/countries/individuals who buy it, donate it back. Which will not happen.
This is the largest public lands sell off in modern US history.
Pope Leo XIV has called for priests, deacons and parish leaders to accompany migrants to court and stand in solidarity with them.

genuinely the coolest thing she’s done so far. weed out the radfems and people who have zero sense of irony and people who morality police sexual expression
BEST FRIENDS!!! EX-FRIENDS TIL THE END!!! BETTER OFF AS LOVERS!! NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!! RACING THROUGH THE CITY!!! WINDOWS DOWN!!! IN THE BACK!! OF YELLOW CHECKERED CARS!!!!
Our societies are too enslaved to market logic, and everything risks being subject to self-interest and the quest for profit. Volunteering is prophecy and a sign of hope, because it bears witness to the primacy of gratuitousness, solidarity, and service to those most in need.
Vance in 2021: “When the courts — because you will get taken to court — and when the courts stop you, stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did and say: ‘The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.’”
This is probably methylene blue, which was originally ab industrial dye but has show to be biologically active and was used as an effective early malaria treatment. We know that, at the wrong doses, it is neurotoxic, but there are worm and mouse studies that small doses could have small positive effects on memory and longevity.
There have been a couple small human studies that have shown small effects and others that have shown no effect. This is true of many compounds that turn out to have no (or negative) effect on human biology. It has become a meme supplement with lots of exaggerated claims in the pseudo-health space. There is no robust research that it has positive impacts on people, which makes it sound like “well it might!!” And yeah, it might, but, like, anything might. And if we don’t know it works at all, we /definitely/ don’t know the dose that is effective and safe, which does make the eye droppers full of it concerning.
The point is we don’t know and RFK jr. very clearly prefers vibes to the methods of science.
The USAID systems that Elon Musk's DOGE team tried to access included personnel files and security systems — including on classified systems beyond the security level of at least some of the DOGE employees.
The systems also included security clearance information for agency employees. https://t.co/mmryv0PhV9
NPR is about as close as one gets to the oatmeal dryness of the BBC in the U.S. … if they’re not seen as fair, than nothing is. Which, of course, is the point.
This is a five alarm fire.
The people elected Donald Trump to be President - not Elon Musk.
Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security.
This should not be a partisan issue.
Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.
President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.
The “Evil Dead Shot” only exists because someone had to create it with strict budgetary and technical limitations. What I keep coming back to with AI is culture cannibalizing itself, endlessly regurgitating what came before, just lamer.
I’m just left wondering how folks would have felt if Joe Biden illegally forced the government to stop fulfilling its obligations (as determined by laws passed by Congress) so that he could choose which of those obligations don’t align with his personal ideology.
