Let’s talk about weather balloons—a.k.a. radiosondes—and why recent cuts to NWS staffing and balloon launch schedules are putting the public at risk (eg., Deaths in Texas). No satellite or model can replace what these humble balloons do. Here's why. 🧵

Can you imagine if the billions of dollars spent to capture, deport and imprison innocent people in concentration camps were used to build infrastructure?
Or to provide universal healthcare?
Or to provide K through 21 public education?
Not to mention its illegal, immoral, and inhumane.

Wish we were talking more about Universal basic income
Two leading Canadian economists say a guaranteed income floor that cuts poverty in half could be funded at half the cost of previous estimates.
This would make basic income considerably cheaper than the cost of poverty itself, saving lives and money.

Yes this
The New York Times covers trans issues the way Fox News covers ICE protests.
Both lead the country to believe there is a conflagration by highlighting a few fires over and over, while ignoring the fact that most people just want to live their lives without the government in their faces.
