"US Navy 35mm presentation slides," slide 1 of 20 [gallery]

Dude is really dedicated to this idea—an idea so bad that when he announced it in 2013 as a potential product for schools, 9 of the 12 ethics board members resigned.

Lest this estimate sound unreasonably high to you, remember that heat is often not recorded as the cause of death on most certificates. Excess mortality statistics have to be derived after the fact: and for the 2003 EU heatwave, they totalled 70,000. So this number may even be conservative. Source:

every heatwave, people (including me!) ask why we’re asked to conserve power given Times Square’s…everything. Well, @newsweek.com asked ConEd, who said it would have little impact because NYC operates on 65 separate networks, and they can’t just reallocate energy from one part of the city to another

this AM the last Prairieland 9 defendant Ines Soto was sentenced to 50 years — so he and his partner, Liz Soto, got effectively life sentences. they have 3 kids. those who took non-cooperating plea deals, Rowan Gibson and Rebecca Morgan, got 15 each. total time sentenced in this case: 530 years

You'll see that we've gambled...

Democratic socialist Melat Kiros has ousted Colorado Rep. Diana DeGette—who took office before Kiros was born.

Left-wing challenger Melat Kiros upsets 15-term incumbent in Colorado

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of conservatives

I’d like to formally welcome Denver into the Commie Corridor

next update brings Kiros up to 48.6-44.1, small-ish but lefty update. it's over. Melat Kiros will be the next representative for Denver.

mojo had it first xoxo

Trump’s Sons Stand to Profit From the Critical Minerals Arms Race @hurwitz.bsky.social reports for @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Rep. Tom Kean took leave to get help for depression. But as a member of Congress, due to voting for Medicaid work reqs, and as part of the New Jersey state leg, he hasn't made it easy for others to do the same. New w/ @hurwitz.bsky.social at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If anyone wants an essay on what’s it’s like to be in the Paris heatwave and then come home to Chicago…only to enter another heatwave uh lmk

Trump’s next ICE pick: a trooper poised to turn local cops into deportation agents

uhhhhhh

@startribuneguild.bsky.social statement & fundraiser here:

New from me: Bari Weiss's Free Press has been amplifying the lie that "Biden's open borders policy" pushed thousands of kids into sex slavery -- and that Trump is now rushing to rescue them. What Trump is actually doing: separating kids from their families, jailing them, and deporting them.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 6-3 in favor of the Trump admin on Temporary Protected Status, blocking the lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds, allowing DHS to strip over 350,000 people of legal status even though they utterly failed to follow the required legal procedures.

examples of what the FBI included as evidence of "Antifa terrorism" in the Prairieland case: -Narcan spray -Anarchist tattoos -a highlighted copy of Emergent Strategy -a zine made of a 2019 review of Hereditary and Midsommar from @reproutopia.bsky.social -First Aid Kits -seeds for garden vegetables

If you read one thing today, make it this. Really impossible to overstate how important it is, and the depth of this reporting by @lexmcmenamin.com is extraordinary. “It’s crazy that we live in a world where it’s not safe to ask what books you’re reading."

I’ve dug through thousands of exhibit files of FBI “evidence” taken in raids of the defendants’ homes. the federal government’s version of what happened that night — the basis of their “terrorism” — was a fraction of the files. the bulk is zines, books, stickers, patches: First Amendment activity.

Liz Soto and Savanna Batten are 2 of those sentenced to 50 years in prison for Prairieland. I visited them in a north Texas jail—11 months into their incarceration over a July 4 noise demo—to meet the Trump admin’s “Antifa terrorists”. from behind glass, Soto said, “They didn’t like my book club.”

NEW: When Aliya Rahman’s lawyers approached her about filing a complaint with the civil rights office of the Department of Homeland Security, she almost laughed in their faces. Today, she filed that complaint anyway. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

U.S. murder spree continues. Two killed and six (!) shipwrecked on 6/21. Death toll hits 215 and will soon climb higher. We're tracking every attack, @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/11/17/t...

DHS still has a civil rights team. Aliya Rahman is testing it. The disabled US citizen was violently jailed by ICE agents—so she’s going to their “internal adversaries.”

NEW: buried within the trove of hacked documents from Madison Square Garden, the folks @404media.co found the company was keeping files on activists that criticized their use of facial recognition. Including me. Here's @fightforthefuture.org's statement: www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-06...

Happy publication day to Devin Thomas O'Shea and his *incredible* book THE VEILED PROPHET, the history of a secret society in St. Louis that's weirder and more dangerous than you could possibly believe. Thorough political history, a riveting story, and a Marxist critique of power old and new

"If it bleeds, it leads"—many people assume crime news is just about chasing clicks. After interviewing 58 crime journalists across 40 newsrooms, I found something more complicated. My first dissertation paper is live at @sociologicalsci.bsky.social 🧵 sociologicalscience.com/articles-v13...

BREAKING: Judge Patrick Schiltz has quashed several DOJ grand jury subpoenas aimed Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, saying they were part of a retaliatory effort over their refusal to aid Trumpa dmin immigration enforcement efforts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

FBI agent testimony from the Broadview Six grand jury transcripts has been unsealed. Highlights: Law enforcement sourced much info from social media; apparently googled "guitar girl Broadview ICE" Pros. Sheri Mecklenburg said, "Just so you understand, this case has nothing to do with 1A rights."

This whole clip is really good because it shows the genuine diversity of community backlash (joy, frustration, deep subject matter knowledge, immediate personal concerns The sneering NIMBY / "glonzo" snark is so disconnected from the reality here www.instagram.com/reels/DZtYM_...

Human Rights Watch has released a comprehensive report detailing human rights abuses by the government during this winter’s immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, which the group alleges also violates international human rights treaties that the U.S. is signed onto.

According to Trump's DOJ, doing the following things means you're involved in a conspiracy: • Posting “we need to become ungovernable” on Facebook • Wearing a sweatshirt that says “I’m Antifa!” • Possessing a bullhorn

Things that could make you part of a conspiracy include: - wearing a shirt that says “I’m antifa!” - owning a bullhorn - using a devil emoji in a groupchat www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
