Trump stating that Russia has made a substantial concession by “not taking the whole country” is the weirdest thing he’s ever said, and he’s said a lot of weird stuff. Might as well just surrender the USA to Russia because they’ve done us a favor by not nuking us. Trump: “I surrender”.

It's wild that all my colleagues who are funded by a deep sea mining company to research the topic ultimately conclude that we shouldn't mine the deep sea. We should stop seeing the ocean as a place to exploit instead of a place of wonder and beauty and an essential part of our life support system.

There are many things on Navy vessels today that could allow private companies to track a ship’s location, but most are personal crew devices and that can be dealt with easily. Starlink terminals are different. Elon’s relationship with Putin is questionable. If I were CO, I’d toss it in the ocean!

“On Friday morning, the Trump administration informed courts and lawyers for the students that it was changing its posture. It did so as judges were getting ready to put ICE officials on the stand to question them about the administration’s actions.” I guess ICE officials are allergic to questions.

President Trump issued an executive order that makes a move toward issuing permits to deep sea mining corporations in both U.S. and international ocean waters. This move threatens fragile ocean ecosystems and communities for minimal gain and attempts to circumvent international law.

Hearing rumors of a Deep-sea Mining Executive Order coming out today. That being said, at least one person whose credibility I trust has texted me pretty much every day for the last two months that they're hearing rumors of an imminent DSM EO. So... maybe 🤷‍♀️

Administrative errors. Unauthorized memos. Accidental defunding. The excuses keep piling up as the Trump administration stumbles from one blunder to the next. As Donald's reign of error marches on, could his incompetence be his undoing?

There is an entire political movement that believes the statement “if you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills and have a savings account with your paycheck” is radical. We must come to an agreement that it’s not radical to demand that.
