With the beginning of Valentine's Week๐Ÿ’•, we wanted to share this visual!

How to Weather the Next Storm In the wake of the Texas floods and ongoing cuts to NOAA and NWS, we need a National Weather Safety Board

"Itโ€™s not just the meteorologists I talk to who are in full support for a new 'National Weather Safety Board.' Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle are excited about this approach."

Most U.S. adults think abortion should be legal 3 years after Roe was overturned, poll shows The new findings from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll show that about two-thirds of U.S. adults think abortion should be legal in all or most cases.

Three years after the Supreme Court opened the door to state abortion bans, most U.S. adults say abortion should be legal โ€” views that look similar to before the landmark ruling.

Words & Phrases We Can Do Without โ€˜Civil commitmentโ€™ means locking up people without housing

"Treating homelessness with a police force and curtailing strategies that workโ€”all while slashing funding for the social safety netโ€”is the sort of cruel, red-meat performative politics that juices up the MAGA base but does nothing to address the problem."

I'm so glad the documentary on Epstein and what he did came out on Netflix. It gives context to the last 10 years.

Trump is now posting private mortgage documents from Adam Schiff, and I URGE people who have less self-control than Pavlov's dogs to EMPHASIZE that it is likely a crime for him to have accessed these docs, if you do post them.

'60 Minutes' chief resigns, saying show's independence was compromised The longtime head of CBS' 60 Minutes resigned Tuesday, as the network's parent company grapples with President Trump's lawsuit over an interview the show did with Kamala Harris last fall.

I'm not just sorry to see this story, I am scared about what it will mean for '60 Minutes" as a news program. www.npr.org/2025/04/22/n...

The University of Minnesota, where a graduate student was detained and stripped of his student visa late last month, is the country's only university actively contracted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, having leased its gun range to the agency since 2022 according to public federal spending data.

The University of Minnesota, where a graduate student was detained and stripped of his student visa late last month, is the country's only university actively contracted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, having leased its gun range to the agency since 2022 according to public federal spending data.

So the University of Minnesota is the only university in the country to have a contract with ICE. We also produce more ammunition for them than any other state, and we are only behind Texas in terms of leasing gun ranges to them.

What It Means to Tell the Truth About America And what happens when empirical fact is labeled โ€œimproper ideologyโ€

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is โ€œdivisiveโ€ and pedaling โ€œimproper ideology.โ€

So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

Hi, ASL interpreter of 30 yrs & a person w/ Deaf family here.

In response to the anti-ASL horseshit going around:

ASL and English are not the same language.

ASL has no written form.

Reading English subs is not = to seeing ASL & many Deaf ppl need sign to fully understand info.

In late November, when Adam Lambert talked to me, very thoughtfully, about playing the Emcee in โ€œCabaret,โ€ he spoke about trying to guide the audience through โ€œIf You Could See Her.โ€ He also mentioned that the audienceโ€™s drinking is a factor in their response.

Hereโ€™s a chunk I left out, for space.
