John Laws is dead. One of Australia's most successful broadcasters. As a teenager I rang his show. We argued for 10mins on air. He hung up on me with the words "you're obviously a loser in life & going nowhere. Goodbye."

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command. If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics. It’s trials w real punishments.

🧵There's a pernicious myth that Republicans have more money than Democrats. In fact, Democrats have raised more—including so-called "dark money." Republicans have less money but understand politics better. This is why they win. My upcoming e-book "What Republicans Know" discusses…

Half a percentage point of the entire US population is currently locked up in prison. Yikes. How does your country compare? This chart has the answer: buff.ly/laWVkkO

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her. She spoke out and was kicked out of the country. It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

Good lord. If I remember correctly, and I think it’s hard to verify unfortunately, this 219 kt/252 mph dropsonde wind gust in Melissa is easily the strongest the hurricane hunters have ever recorded

Watch Hurricane Melissa live cam trackers. Weather updates, spaghetti models, landfall path

NOAA recon finding 892.5 mbar on a 85 knot barb (that in and of itself is crazy to me). Also found 173 knot FL winds, confirming that Melissa is at least 155 knots (290 km/h, 180 mph) as fixed by NHC on their 0900 AM EDT update.

And to think, the theoretical Maximum Potential Intensity in this area is somewhere around 875 mb (+/-), and Melissa is currently sporting observed pressures of roughly 892-893 mb… Makes one wonder just how close to the physical limit Melissa will get. We’ll have a lot to learn from this one storm.

One last NOAA plane has made it to #Melissa before landfall, so we've got one more opportunity for some observations before we shift gears to people on the ground like @icyclone.bsky.social.

#Melissa intensifies upon final approach... 180 mph max winds. It's horrible. You can even see little mesovortices swirling around inside the eye. Whatever location in Jamaica where the direct landfall happens will be ground zero for devastation.

With a central pressure down to 896mb as of 9am EDT, #Melissa has joined the elite sub-900mb group of Atlantic hurricanes... it is now one of just seven: Wilma 2005: 882mb Gilbert 1988: 888mb Labor Day 1935: 892mb Rita 2005: 895mb Milton 2024: 895mb Melissa 2025: 896mb Allen 1980: 899mb

How Hurricane Melissa got so dangerous so fast. “The role climate change has played in making Hurricane Melissa incredibly dangerous is undeniable." grist.org/extreme-weat... #HurricaneMelissa #Hurricane #Climate #Weather #Cuba #Jamaica

4 days of seismic records from a seismic station in Jamaica shows Hurricane Melissa roaring towards the island. Hurricanes increase the amplitude of ocean waves which beat on the coast and sea floor. These produce Rayleigh waves that can be seen as increasingly thick “wiggles” in seismic records 🧪

The #hurricane hunters flying into #Melissa just recorded a pressure of 894 mb and wind speeds of 206 mph / 331 kmh!?! Stay safe .... #HurricaneMelissa #Jamaica #Huracan #HuracanMelissa

Fueled by a changing climate This is how fossil-fueled global heating is supercharging Hurricane Melissa www.climatecentral.org/climate-shif...

The Air Force recon plane is currently circling the eye, most likely trying to confirm the extremely low pressure they just recorded. Given that all the pressure observations on this pass are in the 892 to 897 range, I'd say they've confirmed it. #Melissa

Excellent work, Mount Gambier!

Trump is heading to Malaysia's ASEAN summit, the first time visiting since his tariffs have wreaked havoc on Southeast Asia’s economy. ‘When we look at the history of Trump, he’s not shown a real inclination to understanding the impact that these tariffs have.’ @emmashortis.bsky.social #auspol

CNN editor-in-chief Mark Thompson, following a While House meeting, sought to soften the news network's coverage of President Trump's demolition of the East Wing, claiming viewers aren't that interested in the story, according to the Status newsletter.

I'm a retired Marine. 0 nazi tattoos. 0 careers with Blackwater. 0 incidents where I used a racial slur, gladhanded a white supremacist, or blamed a drunk woman for being r*ped. And I've been getting gaslit the past 48 hours by people who have never served telling me that this is normal.

I often wonder what the last book he read was, and I usually decide it was the first twenty pages of The Da Vinci Code.

I remember Fox News spending days on the scandal that was Michelle Obama’s modest little veggie garden. It was discussed and berated non-stop with the general theme being ‘how dare she desecrate those hallowed grounds.

The East Wing Desecrators Given the extraordinary and unprecedented destruction of the entire East Wing, built in 1942 for the Office of the First Lady, it’s important to note who enabled this. In this thread, I run through the companies and organizations involved and provide contact info. 🧵

Is there any indication at all that they did any conservation of this interior or did they literally take the wrecking ball to it all?

Climate change is an industrial relations issue: workers will increasingly be asked to work in unsafe temperatures and extreme weather events, and workers will also need to have time off to prepare for events such as floods and bushfires.

This is the reality We are going backwards - at least to the Pliocene - and, without an imminent colossal change in our behaviour, we will rewind the clock back 50 million years to the Eocene hothouse

Dam. I was there ... before the cops came.

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al. A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator" 3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

I am telling you EVERYONE in Alabama is texting about the 3 cops in Fairhope tackling the woman in the enormous inflatable dick costume. EVERYONE.

It takes 3.5% historically to overturn a regime. We’re over 5 million short. People don’t care enough to turn out yet. But they will, soon enough. I just hope it will be soon enough to be effective in dethroning Trump.
