Earthquake on the other side of the world. My #Raspishake seismometer is about 17,900km away from the strong M6.8 #earthquake at Macquarie Island region. The seismic waves arrived here in Herne, Germany approximately 19 mins after origin time. 🧪 ⚒️ @raspishake.bsky.social

When this is over, no forgiveness for those involved. There will be trials. There will be consequences. 😡😡😡
SOMEBODY has to be getting to work. Thank god Pete is leading the way.
I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against competing in either race.

I wrote more here about my decision and how I view the work required of us all in this moment:
I'm Not Running in 2026, But I Am Getting to Work
We all have work to do in delivering a better kind of politics for America.

space scientist deported to europe because his texts do not laud praise 😳
Jawdropping.

You would expect this in a dictatorship, not the United States.

This country is unrecognizable.

A 5 alarm fire for US governance and democracy and for you. 🚨

If Trump and Musk can do this criminal shredding of USAID w/ no consequence they will come for you next.

Democratic Senators and House members shld stop their days and head down to USAID w/ the Capitol Police and cameras and stop this.
😲
Btw let me reinforce this again when it comes to this crew: EVERY ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION.
Do they not have a meteorologist on staff in the fire departments?

the gazebo finally met its match ...
btw, is this an analysis of white ash or black soot? Or a mixture? 30 feet from a burned structure?
you betcha
Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)
i just posted this exact thing.

If he had large crowds, they'd be able to keep each other warm...
it was 17° when President Obama was inaugurated in 2009. Is 23° too cold for the big orange baby to have his #inauguration outside? Or is it that there won't be nearly as many people there to keep each other warm?

I'd love to be in the snow
it's also beyond my comprehension that despite hundreds and hundreds of complete strangers inexplicably following me on bluesky, not a single one of them liked (or were even shown) my post.
it's beyond comprehension that outside #Altadena the world is still going on like everything is normal
multiple recommendations for the Watch Duty app, including from friends who volunteer with the Red Cross and the friend who first alerted us of the #eatonfire 4 minutes after it was first reported
@meiselasb.bsky.social @bmeiselas.bsky.social Gents, please use your platform to reach the #MeidasMighty in Southern California. Everyone should download and monitor the app Watch Duty. It’s a phenomenal early warning and monitoring tool. Next 48 hours are critical. #PalisadesFire #EatonFire
it's crazy out there #eatonfire
California just secured a Fire Management Assistance Grant from FEMA to help combat the #EatonFire near Altadena.

Follow guidance from local authorities — including any evacuation orders.
classy
The husband of Republican senator Deb Fischer just refused to shake hands or make eye contact with Vice President Harris.

The level of class you can expect from MAGA.

Possibly the best clap back against ignorant antivaxxers.
