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.

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

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

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.

2 of 53 Republican senators spent the day mocking the assassination if a Democratic lawmaker from Minnesota. They will face no accountability from Corporate Media or Republicans because no one holds Republican lawmakers accountable for anything, they are assumed to have no agency for their actions.

Trump's Sunday night screed about Democrats who are "sick of mind" and "hate our country" is the exact sort of rhetoric that radicalizes people like Boelter to commit acts of violence. But instead of responding to the Hortman assassination by turning down the heat, Trump keeps ramping it up.

It's pretty notable that mainstream, establishment discourse never ever ever considers giving liberal politicians credit for crime reductions. It's almost axiomatic that if crime goes down under a center-left leader it's either unremarked upon, or must be driven by something else.

they like republicans and want to help them win elections. reporting on declines in crime under democrats would not help republicans win elections, so they don't do that.

So this is after the Speaker of the House said the Governor of California should be tarred and feathered, slightly disagreeing with the President and his Border Czar who wanted to arrest him, two months after somebody tried to burn the Governor of Pennsylvania and his family alive in their home.

And Rufo saying THIS WEEK that they needed to use unmarked vans to take progressive leaders off the streets normalizes the violent unaccountability. This is exactly what he’s been trying to incite.

George Wallace stood on schoolhouse steps and faced no repercussions for trying to block integration. One of our few Latino senators tries to ask a question of a cabinet secretary over whom he has oversight responsibility, and is placed in handcuffs on the ground. Shameful.

This headline is something. My gut says we're going to fumble this like we did the NFL draft. This time with an international audience! I'm annoyed AF that we had literal years to figure something out and at the last minute we're of course going "let's get a bunch of buses for a couple months!"

This ICE agent tells an immigration attorney of her three clients: "I'm not picky so I'm giving you the options cause I have to take one. If not I'll take all." He is quite literally saying that ICE is simply deporting people at random to meet a quota. www.instagram.com/reel/DKzbcQe...

Once again I am calling for Democrats to introduce legislation requiring standardized uniforms, visible badge numbers with names, as well as a requirement for ICE and DHS agents to present proof that there is enough danger present to be masked to a judge when they get their warrant.

When Trump pulled out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership in 2017 he started the process of ripping up the free trade playbook. The combined cost of that TPP withdrawal and Trump’s tariffs? A global economy that’s $1tn smaller and a US with 690k fewer jobs. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Israel can take out an Iranian commander 1000km away with a drone missile through a single bedroom wall, without any other damage. But to target a Hamas leader a few kilometres away, they need to raze whole neighborhoods to the ground. Is it obvious yet?

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

You have a commander-in-chief telling the American military that an American city is under "invasion and third world lawlessness...we're not going to let that happen." Truly extraordinary weaponization of the military against the President's domestic opponents.
