What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.
Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

I have no idea who shot at the ICE facility or why, & hard to trust this FBI director. Murder is always inexcusable.
Now, the idea that people are mad at ICE because of ‘Democrats’ rhetoric’ & not because of daily videos of masked ICE agents assaulting people, including citizens, is for the birds.

It may be distasteful but it is not illegal to mock someone's death and it should not warrant arrest, ever. The 1st Amendment exists specifically to protect disfavored speech and what is happening now is one of the greatest threats to free speech in the United States.

The U.S.’s largest estuary is showing signs of revival. Once written off as a dead zone, water clarity in Chesapeake Bay has improved, underwater grasses are expanding, and crab populations are steadier thanks to decades of pollution controls. Nature buff.ly/morNFth

Reviving the Old Bay
To undo centuries of damage in the Chesapeake Bay, six states are fixing forests, farms, city runoff, wetlands, rivers and oyster reefs across this massive watershed.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

White people used to use Black babies as alligator bait.
This was the very first thing I thought of when I read about “Alligator Alcatraz.”

Well into the 20th century, white Americans kidnapped Black toddlers and used them as live alligator bait; also skinned ✨Our✨ babies alive to create chum to attract the apex predators.
This horror was a popular comedic trope. Great example of why white America voted to outlaw teaching US History. 🇺🇸

The pitch is never that AI will fold the laundry for us, it's always that AI will remove the good stuff from our lives. Picking a birthday present for my kid isn't a box I check, it's something I want to do, and six months later when that's the stuffy she sleeps with I get to feel good about that.
