To anyone hoping the system would choose people over fascists

the release also notes that “unified command” is basically acting as security/doorman to ice’s fortress.

people whose loved ones have been abducted, now play a game of telephone with cops and ice “to avoid any misunderstandings that could lead the situation to devolve into escalating conflict.”

It is the pattern and severity of weather that gets affected. You can only see this retroactively by looking at the data and comparing to historical data, or to climate models. Global warming is real and will cause havoc in next decades. But today - its not it.

I get that you try to use occasion to rally for the cause you support. Just be mindful though that if you say something misleading it might be used by opposition against your cause. Rhetoric aside, you can't say that any given storm or two is attributable to climate change. It is just weather.

Trump and Bessent clarify that they will only help out Argentina as long as Milei is in power. Trump adds that the same thing goes with NYC, where the White House will hold up funds if Mamdani wins.

Where I'm from there used to be a saying "Those who dine a woman - they also dance a woman". Though sexist, sounds quite appropriate for occasion.

Trump: "I had a very wealthy person who called -- a donor, a great gentleman -- and he said, 'if there's any money necessary, shortfall, for the paying of the troops, then I will pay it.' Meaning he will pay it. How about that?"

Just to be clear I speak only for SF Bay Area weather.

ddesideria.bsky.social @ddesideria.bsky.social · 15h

I wish it was. It is not though, at least not generally. Global warming causes shifts in climate that change patterns and increase the probability of severe weather events, be it DROUGHTS or FLOODS. Yesterday's weather was nothing out of ordinary for area though. Just a storm.

Bay Area is fine. It was just one day of rain and it is sunny today

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead - Consumer Reports

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.

Oh, yeah, very worried about a bunch of normies just marching for 2 hours through streets.. Just like in Hungary, Serbia, Georgia, right? If you still think this regime can be moved by a 1 day demonstration, think again and maybe stop lying to yourself and start preparing.

Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan.bsky.social · 1d

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

Maybe the way forward is not to shy away, but embrace. We are antifa, and we want you gone (into irrelevance).

Gosh, if only there was a group of people out there trained in directing traffic who could help protesters cross the road. Perhaps they could even wear matching uniforms and be paid by the city to ensure public safety.

“It has been only God’s grace alone that a protester has not been struck and killed by a motorist on 25th Avenue given how frequently protesters dash onto this busy, four-lane street,” Thompson said in a statement on Monday. “This new measure will provide for both the serenity of residents and safety of protestors.”

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Trump on Egypt: "They have very little crime. Because they don't play games. That's why. Like we do in the United States with governors that have no idea what they're doing."

The strategy is learned helplessness through humiliation. They force you to stand in line, jump through hoops and follow cargo cult of protesting. I feel like a broken record bringing russia everywhere, but that is exactly how it was in russia after 2012.
