Yes, I’m frustrated that the word salad sentences never get quoted in mainstream press or played on mainstream news, with a comment “well, this made no sense”.
"The American media makes things that are abnormal seem normal. The European press doesn’t do that. So you’ll see when they report on Trump’s rambling Davos speech, they will say it made no sense. In the US press, you’ll just see excerpts and an attempt to sanitize it." — @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

You do know this is about CA water (we get it from the snowpack because it doesn’t rain much in the summer) and not skiing. Just making sure you know this can be serious.
I haven't skied in decades, but this doesn't seem good overall.
California's Department of Water Resources conducted the second snow survey of the rainy season at dozens of locations in the Sierra Nevada and found that the snowpack is 59% of average for this date. nbcbay.com/6dtW540

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/
