ICE has violated almost 100 court orders.

Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order.

That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

SpaceX satellites half the size of pickup trucks are falling from the sky | The Narwhal As space junk accumulates, astronomer Sam Lawler explains why we should be concerned about the rapid proliferation of private satellites in low orbit

While many of the 2 per day falling to Earth burn up on re-entry, leaving heavy metals and plastics in the atmosphere, sometimes they leave debris on the ground. Starlink aims to launch a million more, raising risks of low orbit collisions. 🧪

Maybe it's just me but I don't think Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be the ones to decide if Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be prosecuted.

Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.

Pa. court recognizes ‘reproductive autonomy’ as a right, strikes down ban on public funding for abortion In a 4-3 ruling, the Commonwealth Court found that abortion access is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Pennsylvania Constitution.

Pennsylvania's appellate court confirmed that access to abortion is a fundamental right under the Pennsylvania Constitution.

This decision is a win for all Pennsylvanians.

The government shouldn't be making your healthcare decisions - you should.

As fuel prices soar, climate leaders urge Democrats to equate clean energy with affordability “I don’t think they’ve grasped the political opportunity yet.”

Democrats should get louder in championing clean energy’s affordability and resilience from global shocks, according to some of the party’s leading voices on the climate.

The AI boom comes at a cost 😮‍💨⁣⁣
⁣Behind the AI hype is a surge in energy use, data centre expansion and growing threats to democracy.⁣ Can it still be called progress if it deepens environmental harm, surveillance, and the grip of Big Tech and autocrats on power?⁣

America’s wealthiest men are spending more money than ever before, in a race against each other that’s leaving the rest of us in the dust.

By 2030, data centers will consume as much energy as 41 million US homes.

At ‘Sloth World’ in Florida, Wild Sloths Have Died by the Dozens - Inside Climate News The animals, highly susceptible to illness when removed from their habitat, have been kept in a warehouse. More than 31 have died.

This is a horrific story of abuse of animals that are beloved, gentle, and incapable if defending themselves. Shipment after shipment of wild sloths delivered to an unheated warehouse in Florida, without even running water, where they all died. And people were charged $19 to watch them suffer.

Nuclear power is so washed at this point lol. It's only marginal if you could turn new reactors on tomorrow, but absolutely washed when considering realistic timelines. Solar and storage has totally undermined its niche
