After Ilhan Omar & I discussed Charlie Kirk’s assassination, that both of us condemned, conservatives screenshotted an unrelated part of the convo where we were momentarily smiling & ridiculously claimed we were ‘celebrating’ his death. It’s an easy enough, & very cynical, trick to play. 🤷🏽♂️

I just talked to Jerod about a story he's working on about some murderous rhetoric from a GOP state rep. He asked what I thought an antidote might be. I don't have one. But I do know fascism is exploiting a journalism collapse; get your news from reporters like Jerod, not social media.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

No one who is a member of the reality-based community needs to pay attention to to Tucker’s content because it’s pure right wing bullshit propaganda, but anyone who cares about the health of our political culture & the mental health of “conservative” media consumers should know about this.

A disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor has been held in ICE custody since January. He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement. His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon. 🧵

I wrote about Rodney and Alma Bowman, a disabled woman who was held for 30 months during the first Trump regime. She was released, worked as a whistleblower to shut down the Irwin Detention Centre, and then ICE grabbed her again. Alma is also disabled and being held indefinitely:

Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.

A paper in Nature suggests a quarter of heatwave events from 2000-23 would have been near impossible without anthropogenic climate change. The paper also indicates that major carbon emitters are responsible for around 50% of the increase in intensity of these events. ⚒️ 🧪

Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature
Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.
