Gov. DeSantis and Florida Republicans are monsters:

I think that Chief Academic Officer Marcus Myers should be made to go to Sarah Inama's classroom and specifically point out which children he thinks should not be welcome in the classroom.

In other words, Marcus Myers thinks that the job of Chief Academic Officer is to ensure that the Nazis and white supremacists and bullies are welcome to express that some children should not be welcome in a public school sixth grade classroom.

"Chief Academic Officer Marcus Myers highlighted specific policy sections in an email exchange, emphasizing that district facilities should be 'content neutral' and respect others' right to express differing opinions."

Classroom poster stating, "Everyone Is Welcome Here".

Sixth grade teacher Sarah Inama hung this sign in her Idaho classroom proclaiming, "Everyone Is Welcome Here". She's been told to take it down.

The Not Invisible Act of 2019 established the Not Invisible Act Commission and mandated that it produce a report with recommendations for solving the crisis of sexually assaulted, trafficked, murdered, and missing indigenous women. The links that go to the commission's report are now dead.

Screenshot of image posted on Wednesday February 19, 2025, on the official White House Facebook page. Image shows a magazine cover live Time magazine, but with big capital letters TRUMP replacing the TIME logo. A drawing of Trump shows him wearing a crown, while text in lower left corner reads "Long Live The King". The text accompanying the image reads, ""CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!" –President Donald J. Trump".

Will the people who support this please wake up and see this delusional dangerous narcissist for what he is? This is from the White House official FB page. 😨😰🤢🤮🤮🤮

How the SAVE Act may affect registering to vote for women, other groups Research suggests up to 34% of voting-age women don't have documents proving citizenship with their current legal name.

"Research suggests up to 34% of voting-age women don't have documents with their current legal name proving citizenship and more than 9% of Americans don't have readily available documents proving citizenship."

"For many Americans, primary proof of citizenship is their birth certificate. If an applicant's birth certificate doesn't match their legal name — or if an applicant doesn't have proof of citizenship at all — they may have to produce additional documentation to vote under the SAVE Act."

Can you explain why access to the monthly temperature and precipitation maps is now restricted to only 2024-2025? Prior to a couple of days ago all maps going back to 2000 were accessible.

I had been accessing the maps in the past couple of weeks, because I wanted to update the graph. Now I can no longer access maps prior to 2024.

The ratio of new warm:new cold records was 22 : 1. Over half the ranks in the period 2001-2017 are in the categories "above", "much above", or "record warmest". Less than twenty percent of the ranks are "below", "much below", or "record coldest". Ratio of all "above" to all "below" average? 2.8 : 1.

"Record warmest" is obvious in the actual data - a whopping 44 new regional records were set over the 17 years from 2001-2017; a new regional record warmest temperature about occurred every 4 months (should only see one about once per *decade*).

I made this chart by compiling all ranks for the nine regions over the period 2001-Aug 2017. The left bar shows the expected rank distributions if climate were stable; the right bar shows the actual distribution of ranks.

This is an example map that I saved from July 2017 that is no longer accessible.

Everyone should know that NOAA has just restricted access to monthly temperature and precipitation maps to just the last year. Previously the maps were available going back to 2000.

A Dictator is one who dictates what is and is not permissible. When a Dictator dictates based not just on preservation of power, but also based extensively on maintaining ideological purity, then that Dictator is a Totalitarian.
