New: If Customs and Border Protection takes your phone at an airport/border, they can run it through tech that analyzes your texts, pictures, and social connections. Now, CBP says it wants to “expand” and modernize that tech. Link to story in the reply

Again: Regardless of the role NWS played here, Trump/DOGE cutting these key departments is not making us safer and is only paving the way for more tragedies in the future and making them harder to recover from. wired.com/story/meteorol…

if you or someone you know was affected by the texas floods, would love to talk to you if you are up for it: [email protected] or my signal is mollytaft.76 especially looking to hear about the types of warnings (if any) folks got beforehand hope everyone is staying safe

continues to be very funny to me that the cohort of people who love to find conspiracy theories in everything continually deny climate science, the subject of one of the greatest corporate coverups of all time
