Wrote a thing: The carnage associated with fossil fuel is why speeding the transition to renewables is good for international stability as well as everything else. Fossil fuel is inseparable from violence, and dependence on it it has created a brutal world order....

Gavin Newsom just said the quiet part out loud: “All this anti-woke stuff is just anti-Black. Period. Full stop.” And he’s right. “Anti-woke” was never about ideas, it was a marketing campaign to sanitize racism, roll back progress, and make bigotry sound intellectual.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

It’s Constitution Day. So, of course, Jimmy Kimmel’s show got canceled over comments he made that the administration didn’t like. And DHS Sec’y Noem went on an ICE raid where American citizens were detained. Read on for the update you need tonight: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

What does Jimmy Kimmel really think about Charlie Kirk? His own words: "Senseless murder." "A lot of extraordinarily vile responses." "Some people are cheering this, which is something I won't ever understand." Why is the FCC is really targeting him? He went on to make fun of Trump for 10 mins.

Uuh...

« Aux Etats-Unis, le Parti républicain est désormais une secte autoritaire centrée autour d’une personnalité »

*this* is how desperate Trump is to distract from Epstein: -denaturalize Rosie O’Donnell -cane sugar in Coca-Cola -threaten Washington Commanders -Hillary’s emails -arrest Obama -arrest Kamala -arrest Oprah -arrest Beyoncé -arrest Al Sharpton

Gallup has new polling on immigration. Topline findings: -Americans hate Trump's immigration policy (35% approve, 62% disapprove) -Share who say immigration is a "good thing" for the country just hit an all-time high (79%) news.gallup.com/poll/692522/...

"My photographer got hit twice by less than lethal rounds and he's got blood on one of his arms and we just took off running with the entire crowd. It was absolutely chaotic."

Love to see news clippings from a normally idyllic farm along the California coast look more like a dispatch from a war correspondent in Vietnam.

News you won't see on Fox News: ➡️ Local data shows crime in California drops in nearly every major crime category. ➡️ The state just recorded the second-lowest homicide rate since 1966. ➡️ Our investments in law enforcement are paying off.

With ICE poised to receive a massive infusion of cash courtesy the Republican spending bill, I figured it was worth documenting what they've been doing with the money they've currently got. Gift link: wapo.st/4lv53Wh

Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

43% in emissions. That’s the reduction achieved by Helsinki after shutting down its coal-fired power stations. A bold decision, in line with the commitments made under the Paris Agreement in 2015. And Helsinki is not acting alone.

Donald Trump, a weak and dangerously reckless president, has put the United States on a path to a war in the Middle East that the country does not want, the law does not allow, and our security does not demand.

LA DODGERS just now: “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Right on, Dodgers! More of this, please.

No Kings at Place de Bastille, Paris!

Fox hosts, parroting DHS, claimed Sen. Padilla "ran at,” "lunged at," and tried to “bum-rush” Kristi Noem. Video disproves their claims, showing Padilla standing calmly across the room asking his question as security grabs him.

We're no longer the leader of the free world. We're no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We're no longer the land of opportunity. We're no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do? davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/we-are-not...

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

«Sans nous, ils parleraient allemand» : Donald Trump se moque de la France après la commémoration du 8 mai 1945 Le président américain a répété son envie de créer un jour férié aux Etats-Unis pour célébrer la victoire contre l’Allemagne nazie, tout en se moquant de la commémoration française.

A federal Concealed Carry Mandate (CCM) would gut state gun safety laws and allow people with dangerous histories—violent criminals, domestic abusers, even convicted stalkers—to carry hidden, loaded guns in public in states that wouldn’t otherwise let them.

Transformative work of the day, Pink Pony Club/Woke Marxist Pope edition

The new Pope didn't tweet once in 2024. In 2025, he's posted 5 times, in which he: - Criticized JD Vance's views on Catholicism and Jesus - Posted an article opposing Trump's immigration policies - Retweeted twice about the Pope's health - Retweeted a criticism of Trump & Bukele's laughter at KAG.

REPORTER: You just announced a new nominee for US Surgeon General who never finished her residency, and is not a practicing physician. So can you explain why you picked her to be America's top doctor? TRUMP: Because Bobby thought she was fantastic ... I don't know her

The President just effectively signed a statement that he is committing a crime, violating a criminal statute enacted with overwhelming bipartisan majorities (it passed 96-2 in the Senate). Here is the law and his post. 1/3

NEW: In an interview with Democracy Docket, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) warns that the danger Trump presents to democracy is unfolding in real time and says “the majority of Republicans in Congress are signed up to put Trump in power forever.” From: @yuniorarivas.bsky.social

Now that Trump admitted he can pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back, time to press WH on the fact that their basis for refusing is the word of a cop who was indicted for serious misconduct. Trump's ABC interview is full of bullshit. My rebuttal: newrepublic.com/post/194593/...
