I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

Let me save everybody some time: nothing will come of "Venezuela's oil", it's an enormous capital expenditure to extract useful product out of it. In the time frame of "decades" necessary to build that capex the value will diminish rapidly, making it literally never pencil out.

I live in Canada: we just had an election where millions of voters who despise Trump voted for the Conservatives, who were all but promising to kowtow to him. Italy elected a literal Mussolini. The leading candidate for next Prime Minister of the UK is Nigel Farage. EVERY COUNTRY HAS STUPID PEOPLE.

The bigger point here is that it's too often the case that Americans remember the civil rights movement as a battle between an active force (Civil rights activists) and a passive force (racism) which is presumed to be melting away as the moral arc of the universe bends. But that's inaccurate.

One way to think of the Trump Admin is as having SHIFTED the $$ we used to spend on curing cancer (and providing care to Veterans and protecting nature and etc) to snatching brown people off the streets.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

In 1983, 5 nuclear missiles from the United States were headed towards the USSR.
Stanislav Petrov had this information. It was his job to inform superiors who would launch a counterstrike.
It was the start of what would have been the Last War.

The investigation further revealed an underreported and rare issue: search warrants that circumvented court oversight and became untraceable due to LAPD mishandling.

This study argues that if one stops and thinks about the task for a minute, one is more likely to go about and complete it (i.e., cut with procrastination).

What are the names of the U.S. Navy officers carrying out these orders to serially bomb civilian boats that pose no threat to their own vessels, killing everyone aboard? Surely they’ll want to take personal credit for this honorable service and perhaps wear a little campaign medal on their chest.
