Meteorologists raise alarm over grounding of Omaha weather balloons amid federal cuts The National Weather Service’s recent decision to suspend weather balloon launches in Omaha and elsewhere will likely reduce the quality of weather forecasts, particularly during severe weather, meteo...

If you're frustrated about the uncertainty of how much snow that we'll be getting in the next 36-48 hours please know that because of DOGE's budget cuts at NOAA there is a dead zone on the Western Great Plains where weather balloon launches have been cut and very little data is available

ICE Tried To Turn This Minneapolis Teacher Into An Informant Brandon Siguenza was detained for doing legal-observer work. ICE's real interest was in generating snitches. PLUS: Mojtaba Khamanei isn't surrendering

I say this with all the love in my heart:

SILENCE MEANS SHUT THE FUCK UP!

SILENCE EVEN IF YOU ARE BORED OR SCARED

EVERY DAY IS SHUT THE FUCK UP FRIDAY!

EVEN FOR VEGAN TEACHERS

SHUT THEEE FUCK UP

Oh my god. Even if you don’t do it for the sake of your comrades (and you should) do it for the sake of not giving them ammo to manufacture bogus charges for β€œmisleading” them. Shut the fuck up!

Surf And Turf Before The Storm A longstanding military belief links steak and lobster meals to impending deployments, with recent rumors claiming troops near Iran were served surf and turf amid rising tensions.

It’s at least an yellow flag for troop
deployments. The food budget will pale in the fiscal and human cost if that’s true. www.military.com/feature/2026...

The press called Betty Shabazz, Coretta Scott King, and Myrlie Evers "the widows." Between them, they held six degrees, ran three national institutions, raised sixteen children alone, and spent a combined sixty years fighting for justice their husbands didn't live to see.

See also, truly social housing as one of our greatest unmet needs. The crass failure of the β€œhousing nonprofits” in Minneapolis shows us how far away we are from the mark.

I doubt landlords have contemplated systemic collapse. Covid came with relief funds. And the loss on one evicted family terrorizes ten more into paying rent and skimping on food or medical care. But that system is fragile already. They won’t know what hit them when it shatters.
