Absolutely fantastic study comparing anonymized outputs of climate analytics models.

Everyone loves to bag on flood (rightly so), but can we talk about how the spread here is "30mph breeze to Cat 5 hurricane" www.fca.org.uk/publication/... HT @ruarirhodes.bsky.social

There is no peace and national reconciliation possible in the wake of this wreckage that does not include Stephen Miller spending a significant chunk of his life behind bars for his role in these state-sanctioned crimes. It's non-negotiable.
Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

My new op-ed is out today in TIME: Trump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History. It’s about the systematic assault on America’s cultural institutions—and why it matters.
Trump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History
"The campaign to defund the arts, capture our museums, and rewrite our history is a prelude to silencing dissent."

One day after US Border Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino was accused of violating a court order by tossing tear gas into a crowd in Chicago without justification (see below), a federal judge has ordered him to appear in court to explain his actions next Tuesday.
We (Americans) have earned the right to take turns demolishing it ourselves with sledgehammers, pickaxes and baseball bats.

Turn it into a cathartic celebration, with musical acts and raise money for charities.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

My awesome psych told me I would've been a Night Watcher in an ancient tribe, after sharing my frustrations and self-criticisms of my ADD, Anxiety and Insomnia and failure to be a "Morning Person"

And now it's my mantra.

Trump nominated a pro Jim Crow man to be the U.S. ambassador to South Africa.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. So, I transcribed some of it.

Brent Bozell is a sad excuse for a man. He should be shunned by everyone. No one should ever serve him a meal or a drink, fix his car, or mow his lawn.

Also please spare me the "wag the dog" or "distraction from Epstein" replies here. Keep in mind war with Venezuela/greater belligerence in Latin America has been a conservative project/dream since the Bush years. Nothing exists in a vacuum.
This means a carrier with dozens of F/A-18s and two destroyers at least, joining 3 destroyers, an ARG with a Marine unit, a cruiser, a LCS and an attack sub. PLUS! The F-35s, B-1s, B-52s, Predator drones and more already flying around the Caribbean. And a Spec Ops floating base.

NEW: Donald Trump has taken steps to dismantle our democracy at such a dizzying pace that it's easy to lose track of them. Over time, outrageous and dangerous actions are forgotten and normalized. So @citizensforethics.org is now keeping a timeline of many of the most significant of these steps.

Every single one of the academic and professional enablers of Bhattacharya, Makary, Prasad, and by extension RFK Jr should be asked to account for the devastating consequences of their contrarianism, their asinine epistemic overreach, their refusal to listen to disabled people/patients.
