The DOJ was willing to charge a labor leader with a crime, hold it over him for months, & then walk away from it once the charge couldn’t survive scrutiny. That is not how a justice system is supposed to work.

"Meet All the New Progressives and Democratic Socialists Heading to Congress" The gravity inside Congress is already poised to radically shift – and the primary season is far from over. From @premthakker.bsky.social for Zeteo:

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Trying not to share X content on here. But rules exist to be broken and this is just too funny.

At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.

Today experienced the 24th day of year hitting 30C in London. For perspective in whole of 1980s we had 21 days.

Dr Kieran Mullan MP on @BBCNewsnight.Bsky.social said ‘If you’ve never owned your home, ….never put anything aside, do the responsible thing you get everything paid for …’ the implication is that if you’ve never bought a house you’re irresponsible! Not everyone can afford to own a house or save up!

The focus here is on the iconic Jodrell Bank observatory, but there is a worryingly wide cut to astronomy research. That includes British withdrawal from the James Clark Maxwell telescope, and uncertainty over the Square Kilometre Array SKA. 🧪

Strong reaction from UK scientists to the Jodrell Bank news:

No! Jodrell Bank is such an important site for UK astronomy and has such history. I remember well my visits and experiments there as a Manchester undergraduate. These cuts are short-sighted and I hate them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 🔭☄️🧪

I wouldn’t be a professional astronomer today if not for a school trip to Jodrell Bank as a kid. It’s hard to overstate how much inspiration this place gives future scientists. Devastating news. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm absolutely devastated for colleagues at Jodrell Bank who found out this morning that funding for the UK's e-MERLIN radio telescope array will be terminated. This is a short-sighted move, to save a tiny fraction of the overall UK science budget. #SaveJodrellBank 🔭🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
