Within a week Trump announced sanctions relief for Russia, 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada, 10% on China, threatened Europe, and cut off aid to Ukraine while openly threatening Zelenskyy for not surrendering to Russia.

🧵RFKJr said the measles outbreak that led to the death of a child is “not that unusual” (links below). That’s a lie. It IS unusual because we have the ability to have NO measles outbreaks. But with falling vaccine rates, we are seeing yearly outbreaks of increasing size (links below).

Kurag, Goblin King! This makes me want to write more about the goblins. The research I did for the Merry Gentry series into people with parasitic twins stopped abruptly in the early 1900s because doctors could remove them safely.

A reminder to log out of all social media and mail on your electronic devises before traveling internationally. And whatever else the experts recommend to protect your privacy in the event of searches at U.S. ports of entry. For U.S. citizens too. I heard tings, I heard tings.

In my video about this I made the case that knowing there’s a 3% chance an asteroid will hit us is amazing news because at any other point in history we would have no idea at all. But it also sucks: modern life is too full of things to worry about that, previously, we just wouldn’t know existed.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

I can't stop thinking about this. What happens to the trained USAID K-9 dogs who serve internationally when all the U.S. employees are forced to come back? Are the dogs going to be abandoned? They served their missions well and deserve better than to be carelessly left behind by the government. 🐾

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Is it just me, or does it feel like the world being ruined by tech oligarchs has kind of broken our collective social media spell? Like, even those of us who still use it, for work or play or whatever, it’s just like “Yeah, this just isn’t really all that fun anymore”.

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this. Smashed records. Curtesy of Garrett Roberts.
