If the White House is right and the Iranian nuclear threat is worse, maybe it’s worth talking about how conditions became more dangerous after Trump abandoned the JCPOA for reasons he’s never been able to explain? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Earlier this week, I asked which tie knot you think looks better. Of course, you can wear whichever you like. But here's the social history behind both knots and why some people consider one better than the other. 🧵

Here is the LAPD telling ICE to GTFO of Dodger Stadium. The only reason they came was to start a riot. What they got was the boot. More of this, California.

ICE agent points gun directly at the head of innocent civilian—just for taking picture of his license plate. He drew his gun with one hand—while fumbling to open the car door with the other. The "agent" did not seem to be aware someone else was already recording his vehicle. Pasadena, California.

I wrote for a magazine called Risk Management and went to risk management conferences and this is 100% true. The people who file and pay out insurance claims know climate change is real.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Natural disasters don't spare voters from either party. And our response must be equally nonpartisan. Someone needs to tell the president he is supposed to represent all Americans. And to stop making life more difficult for thousands of Californians trying to recover.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Trump says he backs the MAHA agenda which includes eliminating toxins linked to human health problems. But his administration continues to cuts funds, grants and regulations that support that goal.

When I tell people it's obvious Trump is trying to create a fascist dictatorship, they grow quiet and uncomfortable. They don't argue with me because they know it's true. Even so, they hate hearing it. Because it makes them feel helpless. But we're not helpless. Get active now, while you can.

Was consumed all day at work by the fact that trump tweeted "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" at Iran, which from any normal president would be hugely consequential and it wasn't even a story because the media has just sort of deformed itself into nihilistic acceptance of the fact that he's insane

Yesterday, I met with a 12 year old boy in Oxnard, CA. His mom and dad have been fieldworkers for over 20 years. ICE agents snatched his parents from the fields and left this boy alone with no clue when he’ll see them again. A 6th grader.

The pressure, the threats, the embarrassing behavior, the masks, and no paperwork, the Gestapo approach by Trump's goons is just appalling. The only tactic we can take, besides all-out conflict, are the judges and the GOP. Will the GOP ever wake up? www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
