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.

When Padilla was like "if they'll do this to a senator, imagine what they'll do to a worker" this is what he meant

Here's the video of the conversation Jill Lepore and I had with Jon Stewart about Trump's abuse of "emergency powers" and his push for confrontation in California. We recorded this yesterday, though, so my comments have a lot less profanity than they would've today.

FYI... "The woman said of the “refugees”: “They were understanding that they would be arriving here for complete assistance. People thought they would be arriving at a house, a job, medical insurance, and other things. It isn’t that way at all." www.thesouthafrican.com/lifestyle/af...

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

Just to give an idea of how much the Trump administration wants to "help" the citizens of Los Angeles by sending in the military

ICE is abducting US citizens out in the open to provoke a response. They're doing this on purpose to escalate and then play the victim when people protest.

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

Gavin Newsom’s speech today was excellent and is worth nine minutes of your time. www.youtube.com/live/rFpjwwV...

Every time I post it he goes up five more points.

Why isn't Trump's clear and open call for federal law enforcement to arrest a Democratic governor based on zero lawbreaking of any kind leading every single news site right now?

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded: “Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

Despite knowing the people on the search warrant weren't there, the ICE arrest team STILL took this family's phones, laptops, and life savings — and refused to leave a BUSINESS CARD so they could ask to get it back! This stuff is sadly not unique to ICE; it happens with regular police raids too.

Adam Kinzinger on the arrest of a Wisconsin judge: "This is nothing but fascism."

This is pure evil. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-admi...

Here's the script, folks. It's now or never. Capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121 Local office numbers: www.congress.gov/members/find... RTs appreciated.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

@schumer.senate.gov you are giving our country away. This is heartbreaking.

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy on Mahmoud Khalil.

For the last 3 years, I’ve invited guest experts to join me for a day of shark research during my courses. There’s a lot of downtime, and that’s a great time for my students to ask folks for career advice and such. It’s been a big success and wildly popular, and I’m gonna do it again!

🧵Next week, you will see people using something called Benford's Law to try to prove election fraud. ⛔️These people are wrong⛔️ I am a scientist who has published on Benford's Law. Let me tell you what it is and why what they are doing is mathematically incorrect. 1/

Harrison Ford endorses Harris. Fellow nerds, please feel free to spread this around on your social networks.

Share this shit far and wide. Trump voter told to take off his hat, calls the poll worker a bitch, throws his hat then puts his hands on her and needs to be held back by other people. Needs to be an ad. If Trump wins this will be every interaction we have in public from them.
