Hi, climate scientist based in Atlantic Canada; here’s the science in 1 skeet: melting of the ice caps has lowered the salinity of the North Atlantic, which in turn has raised the avg temp. This has slowed the conveyer driving the AMOC, which in turn drives the polar jet stream. It fails & vortex
Maybe. Maybe not. This is still being debated in the scientific community.
Even without this, a much warmer planet can still have occasional cold air outbreaks in some areas.

Disrupt the “violence comes from emotions running too high” narrative whenever you can.
Patriarchal violence doesn’t come from someone losing control. It comes from someone using a very specific set of tactics to seek more control than they already have.

This is it right here. Law enforcement personnel who move 0 to 60 with their aggression when "executing detention orders" are doing so from learned behavior - it is not instinctual to smash a car window, cut someone's seat belt, drag them out of their car and throw them to the ground. It's taught.
Watching these videos of ICE attacking children, I can’t help but think about how many of these men first practiced their violence in their own homes.
Domestic violence teaches our oppressors to dehumanize the most vulnerable among us.

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home!
Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

Yesterday I taught a class about the historiography of Stonewall.
I used the official defacing of the Stonewall National Monument - removing the TQ+ by the administration - to illustrate how public memory and debates about history, aka historiography, have relevance today.
Next year I'll use this.

Thanks, I’m not a strong French speaker but I found the clip in that broadcast- 1:39:26 onward. I wonder what the hell is going on.
LCI is highly credible, but that clip doesn't make the claim being alleged (the Ukraine bit is in the last 6 minutes). The closest it comes is "Ukraine has decided to share less intel with the US out of a fear of leaks", but there is no specific claim that there was a false leak that exposed the US.

BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.

That's right, although these days there is a regrettable exception to it: if you are being kidnapped by the secret police, you should yell your name at someone recording with a cellphone.
You can't rely on "they'll take me to jail" anymore, they might disappear you to a foreign gulag.

hard to see how it doesn’t only get worse from here. not trying to be a doomer but i don’t think lawsuits and press conferences are gonna cut it
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

This unmasks what MAGA really means by "anti-interventionist." It's all about hatred of international laws that limit the US from exercising its will to ultranationalist dominance. He says straight out that "shithole countries" don't have a right to their own resources so we can rightfully take them
Prominent MAGA figures are making it 100% explicit that MAGA is a neo-imperialist movement that's all about pillage and plunder justified by assumed racial superiority:

This is an important point- the potential consequences in the US are much higher than most of Europe (and not just from vigilantes or violence on the street, the length of sentences and intensity of repression is wild) which makes the intensity of the last 15 yrs that much more impressive
Vicky doesn't allow for quote posting but I think people forget during BLM protests a teenager killed protesters and was not only not convicted but raised a hundreds of thousands of dollars for doing it.
