Citing concerns about DEI, the Department of Education has halted funding for programs that support students with combined hearing and vision loss in eight states. “How low can you go?” one advocate asked. “How can you do this to children?” By @jodiscohen.bsky.social @jsmithrichards.bsky.social https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-dei-students-education-deaf-blind-grant-funding?utm_campaign=propublica-sprout&utm_content=1757636106&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky
It's (well past) time to impeach RFK Jr. You can sign a petition to help!

#PPOD: ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) has obtained new images of 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar object discovered last week. Identified as a comet, its highly eccentric hyperbolic orbit, unlike that of objects in the Solar System, gave away its interstellar origin. In this image, several VLT observations have been overlaid, showing the comet as a series of dots that move to the right of the image over approximately 13 minutes on the night of July 3, 2025.

"In about 10 hours of observations, NSF–DOE @VRubinObs discovered 2104 never-before-seen asteroids in our Solar System, including seven near-Earth asteroids (which pose no danger)."
Find all the asteroids.

I am furious — incandescently furious — over the attacks on science by Trump and his regime, especially the actions of RFK Jr., which, *as history has plainly show us*, result in deaths upon deaths.
You want the receipts? I've got the receipts.
