Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

Federal officers entered Rep. Jerry Nadler’s office in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday and handcuffed and briefly detained one of his aides. The confrontation happened shortly after the aide observed federal agents detaining migrants in a public hallway outside an immigration courtroom.

It’s so fascinating to watch. How one man can sow such destruction. How one very bad, stupid, ignorant, cruel, dishonest, and psychopathic man can/will ruin and destroy so many lives. But here’s the thing. None of this is a surprise. Every single voter knew exactly who he was.

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

Race animates a lot of ICE/CBP, but I can't stress enough how—as with all law enforcement—a key factor is sheer laziness. They're not tracking down drug gangs, they're going for the easiest targets they can find. Official hearings (citizenship, court, etc) are fish in a barrel to run numbers up.

He missed the deadline to submit a single form 10 years ago, amidst family grief when his wife suffered a stillbirth. He did nothing illegal. Paid his taxes, completed citizenship documentation. But once you activate a police state, they don't care about individual circumstances.

Fraud and so forth usually gets worse under Republican admins because they cut staff and refuse to enforce the law, but under Trump/DOGE that's been turbocharged. Sure thing, buy millions in puts right before a report says a company's going bankrupt. Nobody will bother to investigate it. 🤷‍♂️
