Just the collapse of the Amazon able to crash the terrestrial carbon sink which will now fast turn into a source... One more warming jump needed... #climate #earth

This. Is. Insane. Read this, please.

As US government authorities can no longer be relied upon to provide reliable medical information, the American Medical Association and 78 other medical societies have written an open letter to the American public underscoring the importance of vaccines. www.ama-assn.org/delivering-c...

The real question is how many other people have died under ICE who were not citizens of fancy ally countries. They will never report the true numbers. May all their memories be for a revolution. We need Canada to make a BIG FORKING DEAL over this and get it to be the scandal that ends ICE plz

“Last month, a woman showed up to a hospital in PA with a barely breathing baby—only to find the hospital closed. Why? The hospital’s owner sent millions to private equity investors instead of investing in healthcare. Now patients and workers are paying the price.” We must put PEOPLE OVER PROFITS!

Somebody...offer him a DECENT job, please!!!!

When is enough, fucking enough dear leaders???

Not now, continent-rending pulse

My take on the NATO summit. Lots of unintended consequences with Europeans agreeing to something that few intend to deliver on. NATO ignoring its major challenge, fighting together as Europe with less US. That requires deep reforms, not vague spending pledges. www.csis.org/analysis/nat...

💔

Self-deportation isn’t a thing. ICE forced this Hawaiʻi resident to leave the country. He’s lived in the US for nearly 50 years, served in the military, received a Purple Heart for being shot in combat, but is being forced to leave for a drug offense.

Most coverage of Erez Reuvani complaint has focused on claim that Emil Bove--whose confirmation hearing to be appellate judge is today--advised telling judges to fuck off. But it significantly implicates DVD case and Abrego Garcia. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Crazy me I was under the impression that it wasn’t legal This cannot just be left unchecked

Support for veterans my Irish Arse..

LFG!!!! Out with Sutcliffe www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

One of the headlines of today is Mitch McConnell’s response to concerns about voter fallout on Medicaid cuts: voters will “get over it.” He’s a cold, vile ass, but that’s not new. The question is whether he’s right. And the answer depends on us. (Thread) www.newsweek.com/mitch-mcconn...

USA has turned into a hellhole

When I was a kid I always knew future summers would be unbearably hot. I didn't expect that would include smoke filled skies, trapping people indoors, and slow transit systems as well

“Cuomo reached under her blouse & fondled her breast, grabbed her buttocks, engaged in “intimate hugs” and asked at work whether she had ever cheated on her husband.” Remember, Democrats Richie Torres, Clinton, Bloomberg, Gillibrand all knew about Cuomo’s sexual abuse–and endorsed him anyway.🤮

Canada used to be NATO’s biggest headache for its chronic defense underspending. But at this year’s summit in The Hague, everybody agrees: Spain’s the problem now. #NATOsummit #POLITICOnato

In case it's helpful!

AOC from the top rope 🔥….grandpa is gonna love that last part

HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too. This isn't over, but this is a huge win. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Why I think Amy Coney Barrett will care, at least.

Traditionally, saying something like this would make it harder to get confirmed as a federal circuit court judge. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Another reason to support Zohran is that he's constitutionally ineligible to run for president. The job isn't a steppingstone, he actually wants to be mayor!

Wow.

What the Dem party doesn’t understand is that the election in NYC is a test for the 26 midterms. Young people are testing to see if they will ever be allowed to assert their priorities over the priorities of monied interests who buy elections like Bloomberg, and old school patrons like Cuomo.

I was skeptical once, but this is where I am now. This court is both corrupt and so terrified of losing its legitimacy that it refuses to confront the president. Which of course only hastens the loss of its legitimacy.

IMO an good article on how PM Carney has changed defence spending from something we need to do to make our allies happy to some we need to do to build our economy/jobs etc. It mentions how the USA has been doing similar for years. It also mentions ... 1/2 policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/ju...
