The president keeps telling the military to murder people in boats and the military keeps doing it. Crimes, just straight-up crimes internationalpolicy.org/publications...

If you want to break up a drug cartel, blowing up a boat does little to accomplish that, unless you believe cartels only own one boat.

Months before catastrophic floods swept through an Alaska Native village on Sunday, the Trump administration canceled a $20 million grant meant to protect the community from extreme flooding. At the time, the EPA administrator said he was eliminating "wasteful DEI and Environmental Justice grants."

This is super cool bc:

1) Many of the highest-risk conditions, like ME/CFS & Long Covid, aren't on the list

2) The best way to protect the vulnerable is to protect the population so others don't infect them

3) None of this accounts for Novavax which is not mRNA

"The United States struck another small boat accused of carrying drugs in the waters off Venezuela, killing six people...It’s the fifth deadly strike in the Caribbean"

again, merely political consequences for wanton murder aren't enough.

Al Jazeera is doing videos of the Palestinian releases and they're heart wrenching. One man was detained for over a year and was released to find out that Israel had killed his two kids. The youngest was three. Her birthday would've been on Saturday. He'd made a small bracelet for her in prison.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Whelp, survived the JPL layoffs. Thankful, but oof, we lost serious, irreplaceable talent. Call your Congress folks and let them know what an unforced error this was because of the current criminal administration who don’t have a 🤬 clue what this country does or can do.
