Stop Guessing, Start Planning.
Ever look at a single snow forecast and think, "But what are the actual odds?"

Further increases in confidence for an impactful winter storm are noted across the Carolinas with greater uncertainty still farther up the coast.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it

Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)
ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.
Teen dies of cancer days after mother arrested by ICE: ‘She’s never gonna see him’
The mother's family pleaded with federal officers for her release from custody to say her final goodbyes to her son, but their requests went unanswered.

#Melissa has continued strengthening overnight, to a pressure around 913-914mb, with winds having risen to about 145-150kt based on obs from this morning's recon. Surprisingly no sign of an ERC yet. Can only hope there is some weakening on the way soon, awful situation for Jamaica

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout.

On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar.

This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media.

Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵

That tracks with the GFS forecast for significant wave heights with #Erin. In fact, the peak value is exceeding the colorbar on @tropicaltidbits.bsky.social maps, >48 ft in 24 hours!

Very dangerous seas for ships & beachgoers alike. Please don’t go out into the water this week in the Eastern US.

I'd like list a couple pet peeves of mine that regular folks & professional mets have done this #hurricane season that is poor form:

(1) Naming storms before they are actually named.

(2) Sharing deterministic model forecasts (including AI models) beyond 5-7 days.

Allow me a mini-rant to explain:🧵
