Over 10 years of being ready in 2 weeks.

One reason Running Tide failed was that they lacked expertise in the ocean and they didn't care. Jón Ólafsson is an expert in the ocean carbon cycle around Iceland and the most respected oceanographer in Iceland, and this was the attitude of Running Tide's CEO towards Prof. Ólafsson. 🙄

Love me some limited government conservatism

tfw the guy who made this chart is going to be in charge of the fed

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

When the winner of the Nobel peace prize smuggled herself over the water and out of Venezuela to attend the ceremony in Oslo this week, her allies called the Pentagon to ask them not to arbitrarily murder her. www.wsj.com/world/americ...

This is embarrassing. This guy knows it's horseshit.

Doug Burgum lies that renewable energy is "worse for the planet, worse for the environment, and it drives up your electric prices"

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

CNN dredged of a clip of Tom Cotton going on TV in 2018 and lying about Trump describing countries with Brown and black people as "shit holes," even though he was *in the meeting* when Trump made that comment, which he now admits he made

The House just voted for a bloated $900B Pentagon budget despite the fact that the Pentagon can't even pass an audit and despite the fact that Trump is getting ready for a war on Venezuela and despite the fact that so many people are about to lose health care. Here are the 115 Dem YES votes.

Just comically corrupt. Ye olde tyme corruption, even.

Students walked out of school at Burnsville High School in Minnesota to protest Trump’s ICE gestapo terrorizing their community….the kids are alright 💪! "NO MORE ICE! NO MORE ICE!"

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

After López Belloza was deported with “shackles around her ankles, chain around her waist, shackles around her wrist,” her family attempted to speak out to the press about the rights violations she suffered. They are now being harassed by law enforcement, as well.

Nineteen-year-old Any Lucía López Belloza was detained and deported, despite a lack of removal court order, when attempting to head home from Babson College in Boston to surprise her family in Texas for Thanksgiving.

I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

It really drives me nuts that the Democrats think they are passive observers of the media landscape.

The delta between what Biden did and how much anger he got for it and the absolute crickets Trump has gotten for making the student loan landscape *magnitudes worse than it was before* is absolutely one of the most enraging things about this entirely enraging era.

On November 28, Trump threatened to cut off aid to Honduras if voters didn’t elect right-wing National Party candidate Nasry “Tito” Asfura. interc.pt/491lEO2

This is Gestapo behavior and Democrats in Congress continue to do far too little to stop it.

ICE stormed a residence hall at Augsburg University, detained an undergrad, and aimed rifles at students and staff then admitted they had no warrant to be on campus. This is state violence. This is terror. And this is exactly what Trump’s America unleashes on our communities.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs less to house people.

Are Republicans really willing to destroy international tourism because Trump wants to quash any dissent? Are they really willing to choose impoverished dictatorship over prosperous democracy?

Freedom of the Press is irrelevant if fascist billionaires control all of our media.

I have more respect for the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at George W Bush than any of the cowards in the current White House press pool.

EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items. It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too. Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

seriously

We know, based on loads of comparative evidence, that presidential systems are unstable and prone to clientelism, democratic backsliding, and the like. SCOTUS is doing its best to amplify all the worst aspects of presidential systems. They're cutting the wires that hold the system up.

If you don’t know how much $1 trillion is, you have no business interviewing the president.

NEW: A new congressional investigation prompted by ProPublica reporting has found that, contrary to the Trump administration’s claims, immigration agents have frequently detained and mistreated U.S. citizens. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Tim Walz and other democrats should claim that Trump’s growing dementia is causing him to verbally attack female reporters. Make the media debate whether it is Alzheimer’s or whether Trump is just an asshole.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

"...its appearance here, structurally speaking, is the direct result of there being no criminal or even substantial political penalties for the architects of the torture program, either at Langley or within the Bush administration. " www.forever-wars.com/torture-tech...

if anyone thinks having a dementia addled malignant narcissist putting his thumb on American corporations writ large will somehow end up well please see me after class

This report should have panicked everyone on the left into concerted, coordinated effort to address the information asymmetry. But as far as I can tell it just came & went & Dems are still in "buy TV ads about affordability" mode.

A lot of the stupidity in the US is enabled by the fact that we know nothing about what happens in the rest of the world.

Democrats need to figure out how to operate in the current media environment. Get Tim Walz and others to blame his behavior on dementia.

It is either growing dementia or just disgusting misogyny. Either way, it should be a big story.

Nearly 100 people have been killed without due process by U.S. boat strikes since September. The memo justifying them is still hidden. Sen. Kelly, who says the document should be public, can change that today. Read more in our secrecy newsletter, The Classifieds:

President Goodbrain can't remember what he said five days ago.

"We can't allow fact checkers into the country" is late-stage USSR shit, real end-of-empire stuff

So if you think the survivors of the September 2nd boat strike are going to call another gang-operated drug running boat to the area... why do you kill them before they do that? You're the U.S. Navy. They're not going to call in a boat bigger than yours.

They’re not hiding the brutality anymore. They want you to see it. They want you to get used to it.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Trump is and will always be a mass muderer.

They are intentionally pushing the envelope to see what they can get away with and to numb us to more murders.

Trump is still not making us safe, still not making us healthy.
