/

Demonstrators Are Trying to Make Sure ICE Agents Can’t Sleep

/

Demonstrators outside Los Angeles-area hotels—where Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are believed to be sleeping—are employing creative methods to keep those ICE agents awake. “No sleep for ICE” is the rallying cry, and the medium is noise. ICE raids targeting Los […]

/

As quickly as condemnation poured in over the forcible removal of Sen. Alex Padilla from a Department of Homeland Security press conference on Thursday, the right appeared to identify a different victim. Kristi Noem, who, in her characteristic makeup and baseball cap, had been delivering a speech defending the president’s deployment of the military in […]

The Critical Research That Unlocks Our Climate’s Past and Future May Be on Thin Ice

/

To the untrained eye, the National Science Foundation (NSF) Ice Core Facility in Lakewood, Colorado, doesn’t look like much: a boxy brick building packed with shelves of ice-filled metallic cylinders 10 centimeters in diameter. But to the more than 100 scientists who pull from its frozen records annually, it’s a treasure trove of information on […]

/

“This is Donald’s room,” Phyliss Shobe says as she ushers me into the neat, spare room where the 81-year-old retiree has covered almost every available space with MAGA memorabilia. Arrayed on the bed, there’s the Gulf of America shirt she got for a friend, as well as a Trump calendar, a Melania book, a fake […]

The Department of Energy Is Quietly Slashing Disability Rights

/

In May, the Department of Energy quietly introduced a proposal to eliminate its longstanding requirement that new buildings receiving funds from the agency be accessible to disabled people—a rule in effect across the federal government since 1980, thanks to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. “Disability rights,” professor Jasmine Harris said, “are not uncontroversial as […]

/

Tanks, armored personnel carriers, and howitzers will roll through the streets of Washington, DC, on Saturday—coming to a halt just steps from where President Donald Trump once exhorted his supporters to “fight like hell” and march on the US Capitol.
