Thank you to @columbiajournalism.bsky.social, @towcenter.bsky.social, and professor Nina Berman for including our founder and president Jamie Banks, PhD, MS in yesterday's event, "Reporting on the Health and Environmental Impacts of Data Centers." (1/3)

Saw that “Celebrity Traitors New Episode” was trending, thought it was about Trump’s deal with Putin for diesel.

Good morning from the heart of Los Angeles.

This week's Bluesky Art Show theme is "3rd Place" - anywhere you frequent that isn't home or work. For me, living in California, it is Yosemite. #BlueSkyArtShow #3rdPlace #ArtChallenge #landscape #Photography #Yosemite #NationalParks #HalfDome #Sunset

Cape Verde’s World Cup heroes have landed back home, greeted by saluting airport staff and hundreds of fans 🇨🇻 Today is also the 51st anniversary of the country’s independence. Have a day, Cape Verde 💙

Found this in my “working on” folder from 2016. Thought it was kinda cool. Once you figure out what it’s a photo of, you can’t unsee it! #abstract #abstractphotography #photography #stuffithinkiscool #sepia

Is it too much to hope that the Republicans' redistricting efforts will backfire and cause more Democrats to be elected since they are diluting the number of MAGA voters over more districts?

May the forest be with you. 🌲 This May 4th, join the rebellion for clean air, protected wild places, and a planet worth fighting for. The force is strongest in nature.

"We've Spent Trillions on Our Pentagon Budget. So Why Are We Losing Against... Iran?" Former US army major and defense intelligence analyst @harrisonmann.bsky.social on why the US military is struggling against Iran and how Trump isn't the only one to blame:

Buenos días, Es el Día Mundial del Piano. Volumen ON ⬇️ para la fabulosa Nina Simone fusionando a Bach con un tema de jazz.

Amen.

Any guesses as to how this “potential new leadership” is? Is it some wannabe leader like the Pahlavi heir who has no real path forward as a ruler of Iran?

Here is some interesting context about the situation with Greenland. In 1916, the U.S. signed a treaty with Denmark stating that the U.S. "will not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland."

Contrary to what the MPs say in this clip, they do not have jurisdiction over non-military American citizens or Japanese citizens off of the base. This action is a crime under Japanese law "injury/assault" (傷害 or 暴行) or false imprisonment (逮捕監禁). www.youtube.com/shorts/2_8zV...

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels. I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them. Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy. Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

Where are all of the MAGAts who said defunding USAID was important because, you know, “America First?” $20,000,000,000.00 to Argentina to prop up a failing government?!?!?

Does anyone believe that if the Epstein Files show that Donald Trump had sex with 14 year-old girls, it would make the MAGAs love him any less?

Good morning, L.A.!

Good Morning, Los Angeles!

WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Democrats walked out of a committee vote Thursday to advance the judicial nomination of Emil Bove as Sen. Cory Booker accused the committee chairman of rushing the vote without following Senate rules.
