Ableism and denial are driving the push for “no more sick leave” policies.

Ironically, those same attitudes will eventually erode the very reality they’re trying to preserve.

It happens one infection at a time.

If you’ve ever wondered why so many scientists who understand the risks don’t publicly mask, consider the incentives. They know they’re not immune. But prevention doesn’t earn the same rewards as fitting in.

TV appearances. International keynote invitations. Institutional promotions. Leadership positions. Grants. Awards. Interviews.

The people pushing prevention often receive the opposite treatment.

They’re left out of institutional videos. Passed over for visibility. Quietly moved to the back of the line.

That’s what happens when a culture rewards managing the consequences more than preventing the harm.

🇺🇸 New York City got a once-in-a-lifetime sunset, right after a severe storm swept through.

America turned 250 and New York really dressed for the occasion.

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Mayor Zohran Mamdani drops a massive reality check!

He confirms NYC closed a 12 billion dollar deficit simply by taxing the ultra-wealthy.

He brilliantly exposes how socialist policies are actively fixing years of disastrous capitalist mismanagement.

There’s an anti-Indigenous hate crisis in Canada. Carney is a bigot who ignores it. It’s a Canadian value to dehumanize Indigenous people. “Antisemitism” is a manufactured crisis in service of a foreign nuclear armed genocidal apartheid state that controls Canadian politicians.

🇻🇪 STUNNING RESCUE: A young man is pulled out after being buried under rubble for days in La Guaira, Venezuela.

The boy can be heard sobbing tears of joy and relief after being rescued with only a few visible injuries.

Miracles do happen!

Erin Brockovich is now tracking more than 5,000 community concerns about AI data centers across the United States.

The renowned environmental activist has created a nationwide map that tracks AI data centers that are operating, under construction, proposed, or facing local opposition.

Reports have surged in recent weeks. On June 2, the tracker showed just over 3,000 community submissions. By June 9, that number had climbed past 5,000.

The worries are very real. Residents are raising alarms about skyrocketing electricity demand, massive water consumption, constant noise, strain on local infrastructure, electronic waste, flooding risks, and the overall burden these industrial-scale facilities place on small towns and rural areas.

Data centers serve as the physical foundation of artificial intelligence, powering everything from chatbots and image generators to cloud services and video models. But keeping the servers running 24/7 requires enormous resources.

A single large data center can consume up to 5 million gallons of water per day, equivalent to the daily water usage of a town of 10,000 to 50,000 people. They also used about 4.4% of total U.S. electricity in 2023, a figure the Department of Energy projects could rise to 6.7–12% by 2028.

This rapid growth has sparked growing local backlash. Several cities and counties have already imposed moratoriums or restrictions on new data centers to assess their impact on water supplies, power grids, and household utility bills. Seattle, for example, approved a one-year pause, with similar measures taken in parts of Kentucky, California, and Georgia.

The scientists behind https://t.co/JT1l6Tn3fL are the same experts Trump fired because they were researching and reporting on climate change. Formerly NOAA’s https://t.co/68Gy9iHbC2.

They didn’t disappear. They rebuilt.

Now they’re independent and preserving climate data, outside political interference, with public support and a team of volunteer scientists. That should tell you everything you need to know.

Support them.

🥵 #Paris atteint les 40°C à 16h ! Ce jeudi 25 juin 2026 devient le 5ème jour à atteindre ce seuil symbolique en 154 ans de mesures ! C'est aussi la toute première fois qu'il est atteint deux jours de suite. (https://t.co/pIG411vwZ5)

🌍 "Avrupa 40 derecede ağlıyor, biz Türkiye'de 46-47 C görüyoruz bu kadar söylenmiyoruz" diyenler için işin arkasındaki bilimsel gerçekleri 5 maddede özetleyelim 👇

☀️ 1. Gündüz İşkencesi: Özellikle Orta/Kuzey Avrupa'da yazın gündüzler 18-22 saat sürüyor. Güneş tepeden neredeyse hiç inmiyor, toprak ve binalar aralıksız güneş radyasyonuna maruz kalıyor. Coğrafyanın soğumaya vakti kalmıyor. (Öğle vaktinin 9-10 saat sürdüğünü düşünün)

🌤️ 2. Maskeleme Etkisinin Yok Olması: Avrupa’da hava kirliliği (aerosol) çok az olduğu için güneş ışınlarını filtreleyecek bir kalkan yok. Güneş ışığı direkt ve en yakıcı haliyle vücuda çarpıyor. Hissedilen sıcaklık bu yüzden çok daha agresif.

🥵 3. Evler Adeta Birer Termos: Avrupa'daki binalar kışın ısıyı içeride tutmak için yalıtılmış. İçeri giren sıcaklık günlerce dışarı çıkmıyor. Klima altyapısı da olmadığı için evler geceleri fırına dönüşüyor.

🌡️ 4. Nem ve "Boğulma" Hissi: Kuru bir 45 derece, nemli bir 35 dereceden daha katlanılabilirdir. Avrupa'nın nehir ve kıyı şehirlerindeki yüksek nem, vücudun terleyerek kendini soğutmasını engelliyor ve biyolojik iflası hızlandırıyor.

⚡ 5. Meteorolojik Anomali: Bu yüksek frekanslı sıcaklıklar özellikle kuzey Avrupa'daki yüz yıllık iklim dengesinin tamamen dışında. Altyapı da insan vücudu da bu ekstrem duruma hazırlıksız.

✍️ Özetle: Coğrafya, nem, altyapı ve 20 saatlik güneş birleştiğinde Avrupa'daki 35 derece, Türkiye'deki 45 dereceden daha ölümcül bir baskı yaratıyor.👇

Rescue teams are also saving pets that are under the rubble from the earthquake that hit Venezuela 😭🐕

Prayers for the people of Venezuela. This looks really bad

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

USGS estimates the magnitude 7.5 Venezuela earthquake today caused 10,000–100,000 fatalities.

It was the second strike in a devastating doublet: a M7.2 foreshock hit first, followed just 39 seconds later by the larger M7.5 mainshock.

[Volcaholic 🌋 @volcaholic1]

Whole streets just gone after the earthquake in Venezuela.

The damage is catastrophic and the casualty count is going to be horrific.

We're entering science-fiction territory with these numbers. England forecast ~16°C above average. Potentially 5–6°C above the previous June record.
Records falling by several °C at once suggest we are witnessing something far outside the climate many of us grew up with.

[Jeff Berardelli @WeatherProf]

Europe is melting! The size, intensity, and longevity of this #heatwave is enormous. Peak temperatures will reach 45°C / 100-115°F this week in #France . You are looking at temperature anomalies in the cloud layer over the next 2 weeks, which peak at +20°C. #Europe is Earth’s fastest warming continent, and European heat extremes are increasing faster than models project they should, likely due to changes in steering flow. In a rapid attribution study by Climameter it is estimated that #climatechange has made this June heatwave up to 4°C hotter (7°F) than it would have otherwise been without warming.
