These are scary times, and it’s okay to feel afraid. The challenge is learning how to respond instead of retreating. This piece offers insight into managing that fear and transforming it into courage, understanding, and tangible steps forward.
The Fear Factor
The right and the left both use fear to drive politics, but the difference in how is striking

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world.
This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719.
Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469.
Textbook corporate greed.

Attached: 4 images all right, I am calling it a night. Or morning I guess lol. The third wave has come in and looks quite a bit smaller than the other two. Definitely not nearly as long period of flood, but that might also be because the natural tide is at Slack and high tide Here are a couple more comparisons. This time from low of the second wave to high of the third. good night all :-) tides.gc.ca to see the gauges. #tsunami #tsunami #portalberni #tofino #bamfield #ucluelet #earthquake #russia

Observations from data buoys can can be of great help to the #Tsunami Warning Center in refining their height forecasts. You can find those observations linked below, which also show buoys in tsunami event mode. The National Data Buoy Center is also a part of the @nws.noaa.gov:

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 97 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.
