Probably not a big deal.

It’s not like trillions of tons of ice melt, rocks expanding in crazy heat waves or changing water levels affect tectonic plates and fault line stress right?

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

This is wrong, this is stupid, this is 💯 political, this is illegal, and there’s ZERO reason for this. National Guard troops have lives, jobs & families. This is an absolute waste of their time. Trump is using them to try to score political points. Just terrible.👇

The shooting of two Guardsmen in DC is a tragedy.

It is also EXACTLY what Trump wanted and was waiting for.

No POTUS has ever so premeditated getting our troops shot at for the sake a personal ambition as brutal as it is demagogic, dictatorial, and illegal.

This is on (a) the shooter, (b) Trump.

Let me tell you what the upshot is from the now-dropped Georgia January 6 case:

A rich white man can with impunity plot to overthrow our government with 18 co-defendants—in a plot with a death toll—if a Black woman involved in the investigation had inadvisable sex.

*That* is how racist America is.

#RFKJR seems like a terrible person because he is one.
.
He is a drug addled conspiracy theorist who is getting people killed by spreading misinformation.
.
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.

But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.
The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

If you are on BBC live, you know what to do

(I don't even think this statement would be controversial among experts. He's openly monetizing the office and making literally billions of dollars!)
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

If you need another example of the difference between legacy media and independent pro-democracy media, compare The Washington Post and Democracy Docket's coverage of the same story. ("controversial video"--WTF.)

This UFO nonsense is indicative of the ignorance and credulity of a vast swath of the American people.
