This won't fit here but I just came across a judge saying to the lawyer of one of the parties, "this level of hyperbole is unproductive", and I was immediately "I'm taking notes for future use on the socials !"

A good overview of the incompetent and nonsensical (but not unexpected) way DOGE ripped apart the NEH last spring, leading to hundreds of cancelled grants for petty reasons. I'm grateful to @historians.org and co-plantiffs for challenging these actions in federal court.

Yup. I’m just coming out of a nightmare of collaborative authoring of a paper using Word and am feeling traumatized.

I need to go visit Juneau again.

Before the announcement, Elders Climate Action met with the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs to oppose repealing the Endangerment Finding.

We won’t be silent. Tell Congress to hold the EPA accountable and replace Lee Zeldin as Administrator: secure.everyaction.com/X55UuVlpVUGl...

Yeah? You’re arguing with me, or yourself, or someone else?

That’s the opposite of a large-scale pattern. I’m talking of COVID and the predictable economic repercussions that affected the totality of rich Western countries similarly.

You’re thinking too small.

Well, larger-scale patterns contributed to that.

And that has what to do with what?

He says now that he’s a long-time fan of an antisemitic show, so …

And he sounds like a centrist who’s a good bullshitter especially under softball questions.

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.

At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

I’m heartbroken and enraged about this. Texas is angry and organizing across ideological lines. But we need as many folks as possible to be loud about it.

We hate it. Make it stop.

Also horses aren't horses, at least not the ones this fictional story happened to. Draft horses weren't set free to roam. They were killed and collectively became a niche phenomenon, for hobby, sport and tourism. Really not what I want to happen to learning and critical thinking.

I've got a new survey out today (part of private polling consulting work I do) that finds Trump's deportation agenda is eroding support for the GOP, and voters want the president to prioritize economics over deportations. W/ direct data on Trump defectors: morrispredictive.com/assets/surve...

WTF. Your figurative language parser seems out of calibration, and "you're justifying doing the right thing wrong" is cringe anyway in 96.5% of cases.

sigh.

Do they come in a super-saver pack or buy-one-get-one-free offer?

This is something someone should make a map about.

Behold the Chair of the Anchorage Young Republicans

Great stuff. Very quotable.

Former B.C. school trustee ordered to pay $750K for hate speech, discrimination: human rights tribunal | CBC News The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has ordered former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld to pay $750,000 for violating the Human Rights Code by publishing hate speech and discriminatory content again...

Look at that! Consequences for anti-LGBTQ+ hate speech by a former school trustee.

Interesting that the whole premise for the action was the effect it had on LGTBQ+ teachers in the district and it was brought forward by their union.

"Please," said the lion, "come visit me in my cave."

Or infact a Czechoslovakian wolfdog named Nazgul 😃

Of course it's a h*sky.

ICE takes mother and children including 5-year-old into custody in Soldotna, lawyer says A group of clergy held a hastily convened media briefing Tuesday afternoon in support of the family and to publicize their apparent detention.

#akleg Well. Here we go. Snatching five year olds from small towns in Alaska.

This looks great! Pass it on!

while the rest of the country celebrates presidents’ day, in alaska we are celebrating ELIZABETH PERATROVICH DAY 🎉… complete with parades, re-enactments, and banquets

elizabeth, a native american woman, was essential in alaska passing the united states’ first anti-discrimination legislation in 1945

I mean, you could also a) read a book (or five), b) watch a documentary, c) watch or read or look at original documents from the era, d) do all three and have a class discussion exploring various aspects.

Write and call Congress to stop the transfer of the National Center for Atmospheric Research Supercomputer to a 3rd party vendor:
