1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity

Over in the other place, the billionaire owner is threatening to fund ‘moderate’ (rightwing) candidates in heavily Democratic districts too.

This is what oligarchy looks like. It’s the biggest threat to democracy today. Not ‘cancel culture.’ Not trans kids. Not college protesters.

Oligarchy.

In 2009, the heatwave before Black Saturday claimed 400+ lives, making it our deadliest natural disaster.

With climate change fueling heatwaves, we need better planning, warnings & community support.

And urgent climate action to reduce future impacts.

Australia's deadliest natural disaster flew under the radar but killed hundreds
Public life ground to a halt, many lost power, and scores of people died behind closed doors. What sounds like the start of a post-apocalyptic movie is in fact Melbourne in January 2009.

Literally crying hearing how French women applaud Gisele Pelicot every day as she walks out of court. #r4today

Everywhere around the world women watch & applaud her bravery too. She stood up for all of us.

Because the shame has to switch sides.

Not a single Trump biographer doubted he was serious about becoming a tyrant

And not a single media outlet credited the idea Trump would seek a third term

And here we are—more than a month before he even takes over—and not only is it being floated, but Trumpist attorney Mike Davis is working on it

Breathtaking—absolutely breathtaking.

Come for the casual comparison of a hostile corporate takeover by a far-right nutcase to the war that gained America its independence from England at the cost of many lives, stay for the said nutcase showing up to agree with the comparison and wax vainglorious.
