page in Gurmukhi script
One of the challenges of my job is occasionally having to catalogue things I can't read and have no info on! Here we have a manuscript in Gurmukhi script - which I'm guessing is Sikh in content, but getting beyond that is today's task! (So if anyone has any ideas...)

Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed.
Get big money out of politics.
Strengthen unions and boost wages.
Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more...
This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for.
It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.

A line graph shows the time series of global mean surface temperature anomalies for each March from 1850 through 2026. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly in March 2026 was 1.31°C globally. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1901-2000 climate baseline. A map of temperature anomalies in March 2026 is also shown. Red shading is for warmer than average temperatures, and blue shading is shown for colder than average temperatures. The climatological baseline on the map is relative to 1991 to 2020. All data is from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.1.0 on this graphic.
Last month was statistically tied for the 2nd warmest March on record globally. It was also the 3rd warmest March for global land areas. Overall, about 7.1% of Earth’s surface recorded its warmest March on record.

Would be interested in a piece on how Stephen Miller, Russell Vought, and other Heritage Foundation-connected folks are reacting to Orban's defeat. Hungary was the blueprint for Trump's policy here.

This is one of the most important stories of the week that you probably missed. The trump admin is basically taking something that belongs to all of us & giving it to political hacks & corporate donors. It’s an outrage & we should push back hard.

Two polar stereographic maps side-by-side showing Antarctic sea ice concentration and its anomalies relative to 1981-2010 for March 2026. Red shading is shown for less ice, and blue shading is shown for more ice. More areas are below average than above. Antarctica is masked out in grey shading.
#Antarctic sea ice extent reached its annual minimum in late February (16th lowest on record in the satellite era). This was mostly due to strong winds in the Weddell Sea region pushing the ice equatorward, which is reflected in March's ice concentration field
