REPORT: White House orders NASA to destroy satellite used for monitoring climate change, according to NPR The censorship campaign goes to space. I guess if you can’t SEE the climate changing, then it ISN’T changing. The stupidity is exquisite.

#OTD in #history, 1896, American author and abolitionist, Harriet Beecher Stowe, passed away. When Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act in 1850—requiring the nation to cooperate with the capture and return of runaway slaves—Stowe set out to write her landmark Uncle Tom's Cabin.
