The original climate predictions were way off on their timelines. They did not take into account the domino effect of each change. it has all been coming in far ahead of the original predictions.

Hundreds of people who were once detained at "Alligator Alcatraz" have disappeared.

Lawyers and family members have been unable to reach them.

These are agents who were sent AFTER the violent insurrection was well underway. Kash Patel issued a statement that said that after a fringe right wing outlet reported it falsely. But Trump chooses to run with the lie from them rather than the statement from his FBI Director.

They can’t allow any smart whippersnappers to mitigate climate effects on infrasture and homes. That would be admitting that climate harm is real. No science! No books! No newspapers! No progress! if any “intelligence” or facts snuck into FL, republicans would be a laughing stock.

It's only a matter of time before the next devastating storm in Fla. Gov. DeSantis wants you to know that you can build everything back exactly as it was before the damage.

Areas are not allowed to have learned better ways as we experience climate disasters.

Get those maga men! They watched Fox and believed the lies. Fox has been a propaganda machine for 35 years. I, for one, welcome trump voters to the terrorist cell called the “democratic party.” We are antifa like our WW2 dads. Do they know antifa means anti-fascist?
Seriously. I’m not so sure.

Doesn’t matter if they did. They weren’t headed to the U.S. (not in those boats). So this was just random killing of “God’s children”. So we get used to random killing of U.S. citizens for some made up claptrap of a non reason. Just killing because you can. Which Bible verse promotes that?

WHEN he CHEATED on his last wife, it was with a Playboy Bunny.

He THEN CHEATED ON HIS MISTRESS with a PORN STAR.

In 1947, some Hollywood stars including Henry Fonda stood up to anti-communist witch hunts.

Now, Jane Fonda and artists like Viola Davis, Pedro Pascal and Billie Eilish are reviving their organization — the Committee for the First Amendment — to defend free speech again.

Jane Fonda, other stars, revive the Committee for the First Amendment – a group that emerged when the anti-communist panic came for Hollywood

Even after the original group fizzled, many of its members were able to keep making films with progressive messages.

Baldwin: Our farmers are facing incredible headwinds. A lot of the fertilizer inputs come from Canada. Those have shot up because of tariffs. About a quarter of all farmers use the ACA for their health care coverage. This president is just contributing to the headwinds that our farmers are facing.
