'The National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, is to be dismantled after more than 50 years at the forefront of global research on climate science and monitoring.
This is the latest step in the administration’s climate Lysenkoism and its relentless purge of climate researchers who refuse to be co-opted into its quest for American energy dominance though fossil fuels.' https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/dec/22/trump-stalin-national-center-atmospheric-research #uspol #climate

@virtuous_sloth@cosocial.ca I think Pres. Trump’s policies are mostly awful. If that's true, then as their consequences unfold, he should lose support. Can't happen too quickly...

"In a press conference, Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell said that staffers at the Fed think that the government could be overestimating the number of jobs created by 60,000 each month. With published figures stating that the U.S. has added an average of 40,000 jobs each month since April, the true numbers could be closer to a loss of 20,000 jobs a month."

I've come to appreciate the apolitical professionalism with which Jennifer Homendy, the Chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, conducts briefings into the NTSB's findings on U.S. aviation casualties.
Thus, if she is speaking out about how #Trump's regime will threaten lives and aviation safety with one provision in the National Defence Appropriations Act now before Congress, alarm bells should start ringing for air passengers.

Desi has noticed that President Tantrump is bigly irritated by female reporters who ask him inconvenient questions.
Why insult female reporters far more than male reporters? Might it be that Trump is a misogynistic bully?

Good Morning, all,
an uplifting interview with Machado:

Her daughter accepted the Nobel Peace Prize for her as her journey to Norway took longer than hoped:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyv5gw95ypo
One wonders when President Tantrump will begin boarding murderous tyrant Putin's shadow fleet tankers and confiscating Russian oil the way he does murderous tyrant Maduro's ships and oil?

Opinion: Richard Falk says the current international system "was never designed to restrain the geopolitical ambitions of powerful states."
To understand why the UN hasn't stopped genocides, check out how the this post–WW2 order "has long enabled impunity rather than accountability."

Travelling to the USA on a visa waiver (ESTA)?
Homeland Security are now looking to gain access to the last five years of social media activity to check you're not a threat to national security.
Not that I have any intention of ever going to the USA again, but this would stop me in my tracks... and for the US hoping to see an influx of visitors for the football world cup, this may have a chilling effect on any tourism bonus expected.
One more threat to privacy!

Report: 'Death risk’ fear for Palestine Action hunger strikers: “This is a trajectory that ends with death.”
7 activists have been on hunger strike for more than 30 days after being denied bail.
A three-day judicial review of the banning ended last week. Judgment is set for a later date.

Did you imagine it was ever a serious peace plan?
Never accept an imperialist cover story designed to shush us plebs.
US-israel-Europe's goal, as with Oslo, is to extend the so-called "peace process" into infinity.
They don't want peace with justice; they want quietude with imperial control and profit-making.
