“It’s important that, in this time of rising political violence, that none of us grow numb to it or accept this as the normal course of doing business for elected officials.”

By carrying out the “special military operation” in Venezuela, Trump is creating “carbon lock-in” that will worsen the climate crisis. There is no safe future with a full exploitation of Venezuelan oil. The invasion has already cost lives. It will cost more.

The carbon cartel has captured the American government. It’s aimed at global “carbon lock-in.” That’s really bad.

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

Imagine if scientists could figure out how Earth's climate has varied for hundreds of millions of years, build sophisticated computers to project how humans are now radically altering it, and warn the public, only to have greedy corporations & venal politicians ignore them. Criminal. Immoral. Evil.

Nick Shirley was an unannounced guy with a camera. No appointment. No credible business. No credentials. No family. He had no legitimate reason to be there unscheduled. He was a threat.

The Library of Alexandria was burned. The Nazis burned books. Lenin destroyed Soviet science. This is no different.

Trump and the GOP are coming for both science and our libraries.

It never ceases to amaze me how strong the Kool Aid is for MAGA. The man is a convicted fraud, sexual predator, known pedophile protector, & violent insurrectionist. His followers are the ones with TDS.

Rinse. Repeat.
Only a matter of time until a UC Berkeley law professor writes a memo justifying torture, a brave Vanity Fair writer gets tortured to say whether it hurts, and we have a national discussion about whether certain people should be tortured for our safety.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

While Trump shatters alliances, pays fealty to tech bros & Putin, & covers up his corruption & abuse, ordinary Americans are struggling to stay ahead.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

What happened at Bondi Beach is horrifying.

Anti-Semitism should have no home anywhere. It is antithetical to humanity’s call to be our brothers’ & sisters’ keepers & to do unto others as we would have them do to us.

I will hold the families & victims in my heart.

When the state bars use of racial information to LIMIT minority access to education & voting while sanctioning the use of racial information to MAXIMIZE the arrest, harassment, & deport minorities you live in a racist state.
