Strange. The US was here before all the idiotic tariffs.

@GottaLaff so much for the claim that eliminating DEI programs has been about maintaining high standards.

@gottalaff.bsky.social@bsky.brid.g Strangely, just when the white supremacists are ascendant and they have purged women and minorities from the ranks, they then have to lower standards. It's almost like their actions have nothing to do with merit. And definitely not superiority.

Texas GOP’s new maps create 5 more red seats. Imagine being so unpopular that you have to cheat to win.

In Ohio, its congressional redistricting again and the Ohio General Assembly must pass a new congressional map by a 3/5 vote in each chamber, including at least 1/2 of Democrats by the end of September. #gerrymandering

It's been a war here, and we are using maps that have been ruled as unconstitutional. #Ohio #Congress #Maps #USPol

The journey so far,

November 2021
The Ohio General Assembly passed a congressional map without Democratic support.

January 2022
The Ohio Supreme Court struck down this map as an unconstitutional gerrymander.

March 2022
The Ohio Redistricting Commission adopts a second congressional map without Democratic support. This map is only in effect through 2026.

May 2022
Ohio held a primary election using the unconstitutional congressional map.

September 30, 2025
The Ohio General Assembly must pass a new congressional map by a 3/5 vote in each chamber, including at least 1/2 of Democrats by the end of September.

October 31, 2025
If the General Assembly does not pass a plan with sufficient votes, the seven-member Ohio Redistricting Commission must adopt a plan by the end of October, with support from both Democrats on the ORC.

November 30, 2025
If the ORC does not adopt a map with sufficient votes, the General Assembly must pass a map by the end of November. This plan requires only a simple majority vote, but must still comply with anti-gerrymandering provisions of the Ohio Constitution.

#columbus #ohio

The state’s consumer advocacy group on utilities and Ohio’s manufacturers are asking the Public Utilities Commission to audit the subsidies paid to two coal-fired power plants in the last two years.

@realTuckFrumper I wonder what they'll instruct her to "tell them?"

@heartshadows @arstechnica he does understand. That’s the whole reason he was put in there to begin with.

bonjour le fediverse ! je suis français mais je tooterai majoritairement en anglais (^c^) !

hi fediverse. I'm Lucas, a PhD student at IGE (CNRS, Grenoble, France) whose work focuses on studying the interaction between aerosols and clouds in the Arctic. I'm using climate models and collaborate closely with satellitary observers to improve our understanding of clouds.

I'm counting on mastodon to share about my work and raise awereness around my main scientific concern : climate change (big surprise, is this even a thing anymore ?).

More generally, I wish my academic work could go on being more interdisciplinary and more focused on helping societies and citizens understand and adapt to climate change.

Finally, I'm engaged in climate struggles and love to learn new stuff and share about it. All contents not related to my work will be showed with the appropriate CW.

happy to meet you all c:

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin claims to prioritize combatting long-lasting chemicals called PFAS.

Despite this, the agency has delayed enforcement of standards and terminated over $15 million in funding for “forever chemicals” research.

Kamala Harris during the campaign: “If we elect Trump, we will be at war within 6 months.”

@newyorktimes @home-page-newyorktimes

Why would anyone believe in commitments made by the Trump administration? Or Netanyahu?

And these are the same snowflakes who couldn’t handle wearing a mask during the pandemic.

@realTuckFrumper Somehow I doubt it.
