Not an exaggeration to say that the coalition is responsible for early deaths and long term disabling of folks in this country.

Cannot be overstated how few such existential crises in human history have been *more seen coming* than what’s happening with the atmosphere and hydrological cycle and its interactions with failing neoliberal governance and land use patterns.
Actually not a bad article by TW standards but this headline is absurd. The storm track precisely followed meteorological predictions several days out. Vast quantities of research exist warning of these consequences at all scales. “We” here only applies to people deliberately ignoring the data.

I’ve been in Minneapolis the last few days reporting on the ICE raids happening across the city. This morning federal agents shot and killed a man, identified by the AP as Alex Pretti. This marks the third shooting by federal agents since Operation Metro Surge started in Minnesota last month.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

🚨 SCOOP 🚨 Microsoft gives encryption keys to the FBI to unlock data on seized computers.
Comes from a fraud case in Guam.
But Microsoft tells me it gets around 20 requests for BitLocker keys a year.
How many keys has it given to feds over the years?

This right here is one of the biggest reasons we need universal basic income. High consumption inequality creates a fragile consumer economy. We need to widely spread consumption. UBI to grow the consumption of the entire bottom 80%. Taxes to decrease the top 10% to balance for inflation management.

#nzpol Data released by Stats NZ today shows that the cost of living rose at its fastest rate for 18 months. Prices rose for 80% of items in the CPI basket, meaning growth in prices was broad-based. Minimum wage workers are now facing a 3rd year of real terms cuts in wages. A thread
