If it’s news that what Trump is doing in Iran is a blatant war crime, do I have news for you.

I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

A fluctuating climate will bring swings and crashes in crop yields, flash flooding and erratic storms. It will stress economies by disrupting supply chains and amplifying insurance losses. Societies are unprepared, because weather volatility related to tipping points is absent from risk assessments.

No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."

🙃 as i wrote in the afterword to the paperback, in 2020 we were so close we could taste it to creating a world led by a sense of disability justice and collective care—a gift from viruses to have learned negotiating life with them was the roadmap to climate change, incarceration & anti-capitalism

I ❤️ Representative Al Green.

Rep. Aisha Gomez: “To look at people standing up against ICE and see ‘paid protesters’ says nothing about us and everything about you.” “That you cannot conceive of us loving our neighbors so much that we would actually do something for them.”

Typical ICE psychopath: “According to Ashley Brouillette, he once threw boiling water at her while she was holding their child — an incident her mother Avis Collins also recounted. The abuse continued after she left him, she said.“

OSSOFF: If there's one person who committed election fraud in Georgia, it's Donald Trump—when he dialed up our state's senior most election official, and tried to bully him in a recorded phone call to “find” the exact number of votes Donald Trump needed to win in a state

Ava DuVernay announced Thursday that she has made a documentary for Netflix on the 14th Amendment, which gave liberty and rights to formerly enslaved people following the Civil War, and which has come under legal attack from President Donald Trump. https://to.pbs.org/44vhaML

Warner on CBS: I was embarrassed that the president went before our country and networks like yours carried this as news as opposed to a rehash of falsehoods. It is incumbent upon you and any responsible journalist to pushback on this.

President Trump is referenced in FBI interview summaries tied to a woman who accused him of sexual assault decades ago, yet three of those summaries are absent from the Justice Department’s public release of its Epstein files. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/missing-ep...

We're way beyond gleaning anything truthful from the serial lying psychopath. At this point, listening to one of his bullshit-laden vomit-inducing speeches could only be described as a form of masochism.

"Children with disabilities face some of the highest rates of arrest in schools ... Youth of color with disabilities are arrested at even higher rates in schools, with Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander boys and Black boys with disabilities facing rates four to six times the average arrest rate."

Having never watched a speech by that awful person, or heard their voice for more than the half second it takes to grab the remote or scroll down, I’m not about to start now, nor should you

Oyer: "2 days after Blanche was confirmed as deputy AG, he fired me from my position as DOJ's career pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a favor for a friend of the president, and it cost me my job. Mr Blanche's office had asked me to restore the gun rights of a convicted domestic abuser..."

Ossoff: "If there is one person who committed election fraud in Georgia, it is Donald Trump"

This is what fighting fascism looks like.

Dozens of immigrants at Miami’s Federal Detention Facility are trapped in brutal heat with no AC, sleeping in underwear, and finding roaches in their food. When one spoke out, he was thrown into solitary. Total abuse. We demand an immediate investigation and human rights NOW! 🎥 tomaskenn

AGAIN: the #1 predictor of a mass shooter is violence against women. Cops perpetrate VAW at higher % (though exact # unknown ofc) than the gen population. At some point our culture must take seriously the fact that this is a real red flag. It requires hating women less, though.

NEWS: Epstein survivors just gave Todd Blanche a failing grade after their meeting. "Condescending." "Gaslighting." No plan to go after anyone beyond Epstein and Maxwell. And Sen. Tillis's reaction? Somehow worse.

Tomorrow's combination of dangerous heat and unhealthy air is a serious threat to New Yorkers’ health. If you can, stay somewhere cool with air conditioning, limit time outdoors, drink plenty of water, and check on your neighbors — especially older New Yorkers and anyone with a health condition.
