it's wild seeing the wheels coming off a guy like trump this badly. after over a decade of this shit, too. one way or the other the billionaire class is icarusing right in front of you, on wings of being way too ravenous, way too off-putting, way too creepy, way too stupid, and way too visible

"She holds a Ph.D. in Homeland Security from St. John’s University in New York." 🙄

He seems very pleased with himself.

Republicans in red states have gerrymandered to shit and back, often illegally, and when voters have passed initiatives to ban the practice, they have (even more illegally) ignored and undercut them. It is a little late to clutch your pearls and weep about the sanctity of democracy now

“Once the men were on the patrol boat, the US personnel boarded the fishing boat and stole the crew’s food and the beer, Palacios said.” This detail; the smug, taunting cruelty. From Hegseth on down, they’re confident there will be no consequences for what they’ve done.

She sounds like your basic troll.

Concentration camps. If objective is to close camps, voters must view them as vile & without any merit. Many voters believe "detention facilities" are necessary for law/safety. Plus they fit legal definition of concentration camps (which is NOT same as extermination camps.)

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

Globe showing the Atlantic Ocean with arrows depicting the AMOC circulation: warm surface currents (pink/red) flowing northward from the tropics toward the Arctic, and cold deep return currents (blue/purple) flowing southward. The background shows sea surface temperature trends, with a prominent blue cold patch, the "cold blob", south of Greenland, contrasting with warming (orange/red) across the rest of the ocean.

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast.

In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically.

Most people have no idea. 🧵

An imperfect metaphor, but I think of AMOC as an ice cube melting in a glass of lemonade left out in the sun. For a time, the water around the cube will be colder. but eventually the cube is gone and the entire cup turns warm. So it goes with the polar ice caps.

Really don’t like how so many politicians, cops, and media describe it as a “tragedy” when a man goes and annihilates his entire family.
He’s not a force of nature or the will of the gods. He’s a rotten, shameful terrorist.

The only way we unfuck our country is through a puritanical anti-corruption drive. We need to rip out a vast substrate of corrupt elites and marginalize an even larger contingent of mere incompetents and cowards.

Ppl need to be terrified of the white-collar criminal laws of the United States again.

I feel huge relief, and also, LET'S FUCKIN GOOOOOO!!!!

"Apex" implies this is the last wealth tax we'll see--wishful thinking on their part!

In the meantime, our GOP-run Congress has decided it really doesn't want to know who is making inside trades with foreknowledge of Trump's tweets... because it knows exactly who.

it really is remarkable *how mild* the op-ed that she wrote was. It really shouldn’t matter what she said, but I think they chose to make an example of her precisely *because* she didn’t do anything remotely wrong. They wanted to show they could do this to anyone.

please understand how restrained this was for a Chicagoan

If Republicans are talking about demons now, then I say that Vance is the reincarnated malevolent spirit of Thomas Wriothesley. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_...

We are deciding right now if we are to be a nation of concentration camps and ethnic cleansing. And there is much citizens can do!

Concentration camps

Have you seen this? Such a great visualization.

He looks and sounds like Jonah from Veep, but without the charisma.

Plus, not only could U.S. foreign aid not fund abortion care, but any organization receiving money from the U.S. government was not even allowed to *talk* about abortion. Republicans created the "global gag rule" and then lied about it anyway.

More like “no tax on grift,” am I right?

Together, we are telling a new story of our city. New York belongs to all who live in it, not just a privileged few.

And if we succeed here, surely it can be done elsewhere.
