Florida Decided There Were Too Many Children. “Florida is the first state to take the courageous step toward decluttering itself of excess children, but under the inexpert guidance of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., other states may follow.” https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2025/09/florida-vaccine-children-mandate/684110/?gift=j9r7avb6p-KY8zdjhsiSZ1KV5cFKtQASw6v7_TPkcvA

Uh... pot, kettle, wrongfully detain
Trump admin to issue EO as early as Fri establishing a designation for state sponsors of wrongful detention, in a move that would allow the U.S. to punish countries that illegally detain U.S. nationals or take them hostage." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-wrongful-detention-state-sponsors-order/
@petergleick Global energy consumption is about 26,000 TW h. Earth’s surface roughly 164,000,000 sq km. A 200 W solar panel is about 1 sq m or 0.000001 km^2. Covering the Earth with these, at 5% efficiency, would generate about 15,000 times the total energy consumption of Earth.
Can you imagine if Biden had sent, say, the California NG to Idaho to quell some Cliven Bundy-like situation?

@futurebird Same here, I'm a teacher and I get a flu shot every year, for at least the last 10 years, only caught the flu once when H1N1 was going around.
Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, an Independent,
who serves as the ranking member on the health, education, labor and pensions (Help) committee,
said that Robert F Kennedy Jr’s attempt to fire Susan Monarez was “outrageous”.
“The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible.
Vaccines save lives. Period,” Sanders said on X.
As Monarez is a Senate-confirmed official
(the first CDC director to receive this stamp),
removal from office can only come from president, or an impeachment process by Congress.
Monarez’s lawyers say that her termination is “legally deficient”, since it didn’t come from Trump himself.
