This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Potentially significant problem for Panama's ecology and economy as annual Pacific upwelling fails for first time since records began 40 years ago. This normally drives nutrient supply and surface cooling leading to growth of phytoplankton, on which the food Web relies.

Just finished #LeeMiller biopic "Lee". Glaring parallels between #Nazi Germany and #MAGA rounding people up into foreign concentration camps. WAKE UP EVERYONE. Time waits for no one. #tyranny and #fascism prey on inaction. Use your voice NOW while you still can.

1/7 For most of my life I thought that the #USA was simply the worked example of the absolute minimum requirement for a constitutional #democracy. One with only two parties, and where the winner is the one with the most balloons (or billionaire donors donors these days).

In the failed state of California in the overrun city of Los Angeles today I drove my mom to the airport, got some coffee with a friend, got the kids from school and worked on some podcast edits. Thank god the United States Military will be sent in to shoot unarmed civilians. This cannot hold.

#TheRiseOfFascism live streamed in real time.
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Hearing speculation that the gift of the #FlyingPalace from #Qatar to #DonaldTrump might be an inducement to secure USA recognition of #Palestine. Would certainly fit the #MAGA mold of #AmericanKleptocracy. I'll be watching this space...

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’

One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.

Also a time served political philosopher, this piece on the roots, strategies, and goals of #Trumpism and #MAGA, is thought provoking.

Translation - "Do you remember that clever jammer gadget that the US put on Denmark's donated F-16s to #Ukraine and that can protect against Russian radars, missiles, etc.?

Yes, that's right. Trump has also blocked it..."
Kan I huske den der smarte jammer-dims, som USA satte på Danmarks donerede F-16’ere til #Ukraine og som kan beskytte mod russiske radarer, missiler mfl?

Ja, rigtigt. Den har Trump også blokeret…
