MUST READ thread before Monday night's forecasted G4 / SEVERE geomagnetic storm. Auroras could be seen as far south as the U.S.-Mexico border at times. Widespread mid-latitude displays are possible. Here's what you need to know to have a successful aurora chase tonight! 🧵

Also, please note: they tried very hard to be scary, kept saying “this is where you live, go home” over the loudspeaker. But when you continue to follow them, they don’t arrest you, they run. Their tactics are based in fear and bullying, not any true legal authority.
Here’s a really tense ICE situation in front of my home. One car looped a block 25 times until two reinforcement cars showed up and led me home. Was pretty scary because I was solo - BUT I knew I had backup from thousands of courageous neighbors and observers. Strength in numbers.

When NFL Network replays this game, just forget the first three quarters and play Q4/OT on a loop.

Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good with one hand and filmed it with the other. The whole point is for it to be seen.
Trump is privately worried about the "optics" of ICE raids and his advisers are looking for ways to soften them, Axios reports. I'm calling bullshit: The terror and violence cannot be hived off from the broader policy agenda. They are 100% intrinsic to it.

New piece:

Trump’s Own Advisers Suddenly Unnerved as ICE Raids Take Horrific Turn
So the president doesn’t like the “optics” of what ICE is doing. But there’s no such thing as sanitized, popular mass deportations—and this is by design.

A bubble of this magnitude can still pop, with massive economy wide consequences, as we saw with the mortgage backed security crisis in the great recession and the Dot Com bubble. Agree that we will all probably be forced to bear the costs.
Agreed. Once something becomes infrastructure, it stops being allowed to fail. The risk shifts from “bubble pops” to “who absorbs the bailout and the consequences.”
talking about AI as a bubble doesn't make sense. AI/tech has become integrated into critical social/financial infrastructure means fall of AI = fall of these institutions. just like govnt's bailed banks during the financial crisis, they will do same with AI so long as AI remains social infrastrctr

Yup.
There is no recalibrated or sanitized way to conduct the war that Trump and Stephen Miller are waging on American cities right now. That’s because it’s a campaign of deliberate terror.
The policy *is* the terror, and the terror *is* the policy.

Exhibit I have lost count of why trying to echo their "rule of law" messaging is meaningless. The rulers make the laws as it suits them. We must stand for actual principles - justice, equal rights under law.
Ah yes, the new, “free markets and liberties”-focused Washington Post:

You can make the blandest white people taco for three dollars and I don’t think I’d eat it if you paid me four dollars unless maybe the other thing was the best hot sauce ever … or five dollars
Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

Here's the message:

Trump is terrorizing our communities with a campaign of inhumane un-American ICE brutality - and he's paying for it by raising health premiums on 20 million Americans.

Effective because it's 💯 true.

"Fierce opposition to ICE and the Border Patrol has sprung up through block clubs, neighborhood group chats, school Facebook groups and Catholic parishes, stretching beyond the typical Democratic voter base..."

Yup. Exactly.

true collectors prefer a Nobel Prize in mint condition with the recipient’s name clearly visible but lightly-used in the original packaging is still pretty valuable

You cannot give someone your Nobel Peace Prize. It is not transferable. This is meaningless ego-soothing theater for a man who has been publicly melting down about not getting one for years. Deeply pathetic.
