Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

Strange Structures Found Lurking in The Blood of People With Long COVID A hidden physical change in the body may be helping to drive the prolonged malaise some people experience after contracting COVID-19.

Microclots and neutrophil extracellular traps merge to form structures that may contribute to thrombosis and atherosclerosis in patients with long Covid. While this research is in its early days, it may pinpoint not only a diagnosis of long Covid but potentially a therapeutic target.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.

EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

With this regime, every day is substantially more humiliating for America than the last.

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich.

Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else.

Trickle-up economics.

πŸ‘€Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy β€˜mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

As a timeline cleanse, here's a photo of the full moon setting over the hills of Highlands, NJ this morning. I wasn't in love with it because it's highly cropped so as you'll see it's pretty crumbly, but my family loved it, so here it is. I hope you have had a great day!

Solar isn’t booming in Texas or China because of climate ideology. It’s booming because it’s the cheapest, fastest power you can build. Texas just set a solar generation record β€” in FEBRUARY. That’s cost curves winning, not sacrifice. Zero-fuel power sets prices by design. #Bettrification #Solar

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.
