Coral reefs, the rainforests of the sea, have crossed the line.
Not metaphorically.
Ecologically.
We killed the colours of the ocean chasing the colour of money.

Trump pushed out the federal prosecutor who refused to bring charges against James Comey, then installed someone who would. Former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance details how the Comey indictment reflects the flawed process that produced it. bit.ly/46TyPOR

Comey Indictment Shows Danger of Subservient Prosecutors

The political prosecution of a presidential enemy has left the government with a seemingly unwinnable case — and a justice system tainted by politics.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver this week is a complete takedown of Bari Weiss... and it's thorough and devastating.

And a bit of interesting timing, given that Weiss's new boss, David Ellison (who is talked about in the episode) is trying to buy HBO, where Oliver's show is...

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Every person/reporter/etc in his orbit needs to ask him (HIM) crucial questions:

Who was president in 2020?

Show the evidence of Portland burning.

Explain the math of saving Americans 1500% of drug costs.

Where is gasoline $2/gallon.

Who is Ghislaine Maxwell?

Where are the Epstein files?

I hope that for the rest of Shapiro's life his rabbi, his bubbe, his mother & everyone else in his life point & say, "You did this. You."

And yes, the gates of tshuvah/repentance + repair are always open, but he's got a looot of work to do to grasp to the extent of the harm he's caused. A lot.

If CDC pushes back, ask to speak with the Privacy Officer (fired). The contract between CDC and jurisdictions is premised on data protection. CDC has broken that contract with these firings and the reckless disregard for data privacy shown by HHS.

It’s breaks our hearts to type this but unless and until all CDC’s data protections are restored and overseen by trusted professionals you should consider CDC a bad actor.

If you feel you must share data, share simply summary stats. No PHI. No cross tabs. No geotags.

⚠️ STATES, LOCALS, TRIBAL NATIONS, TERRITORIES ⚠️

HHS has eliminated EVERY SINGLE SAFEGUARD FOR DATA PROTECTION AT CDC. Giving data to CDC is no longer safe and puts your residents at risk.

Unless and until all CDC’s data protections are restored you should consider CDC a bad actor.

The New York Times knows crime is not “out of control” in major U.S. cities — in fact, crime is way down from past years and decades — but NYT amplifies JD Vance’s lie without a fact check.
It’s journalism malpractice that helps the fascists.

For a person who sees himself as god he's a bit preoccupied with his mortality....and he's not aware of anything other than himself. Maybe IV infusions are getting to him? I wonder if they've put in a port. I've noticed more droop lately from a suspected (and unconfirmed) stroke.
