Maybe we are all living in a GRRM series. It's season 1. The penultimate episode just aired. The season finale: No Kings Day. It ends with a cliffhanger that propels us into season 2. Eventually, we all end up stuck in this hellscape when GRRM gets bored and moves on to a Civil War prequel series.

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Yes! I am a reformer. Time for new leadership!
I’m a democrat but I will NOT tolerate weak leadership.

I will not stand and watch our democracy being destroyed

Are you with me? Are you a reformer?

I ask that we demand that @schumer.senate.gov step down and let the next generation of leaders take over.

Yes! This is the type of thing that should be airing on news platforms everywhere. Quit behaving like this is politics as usual. It's time to step out of the closet and declare this a crisis of democracy in the mainstream media.

This article and🧵 are a great overview of the overall plan to just kill our ability to provide timely service to the public. We believe this is with an end game to privatize SSA which would be disastrous. Please read!

Trump thinks he's a king above the law. Last night, a federal judge ordered him to stop deportations under his outrageous use of the Alien Enemies Act—but he did it anyway. Now, Venezuelans are being held in Bukele’s El Salvador mega-prison for at least a year.

The 2 planes Judge Boasberg ordered back, plus a third plane that took off AFTER Boasberg’s order, never returned to the U.S. in apparent defiance of the court order.
UPDATE: The same Airbus 320 GlobalX charter aircraft—that left TX after Judge Boasberg issued his restraining order—continued on to El Salvador late Saturday.
