I’m BEGGING, people, please stop boosting this bit of rage bait. The headline is inflammatory and misleading. GPS jamming was off and the pilots were on a visual approach when the incident occurred.

if establishment candidates want to start winning primaries again all you have to do is say that rich people have too much money and that youll prosecute trump admin staffers and republicans that have broken the law

"The #climate we live in today is the least extreme climate you will experience in your lifetimes because of ongoing fossil fuel emissions."
The missing words in the climate conversation are not human-caused climate change, but fossil fuel emissions. By Hayley Fowler and myself: theconversation.com/was-this-hea...
As the UN Secy General says, the Euro wildfires are just an opening act to the El Nino bearing down on planet earth. It's time for smart politicians to stop climate hushing and start getting ahead of the heat. open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

This is deadass every republican campaign ad here in the south. I'm not even REMOTELY JOKING.
The coming years are going to be an excruciating exercise in watching men in expensive suits with important sounding jobs suddenly ‘realize’ the blindingly obvious.

they can sense that something indeed shifted forever, that the "back to normal" they were sold is not quite right, but they can't see that the period of solidarity and self sacrifice was not the part that snapped the social contract in half, but the abandonment of the vulnerable.
I do get terribly ratty with mum sometimes and I do wish I wouldn’t. But what with looking out for her and trying to do life stuff it does get hard sometimes.
Didn’t learn about “compassion fatigue” til I was an adult. It’s not a moral failing but a perfectly normal response to the role of being a carer. You really do need to take care of yourself too. This goes out to all my friends who are finding themselves with new caring duties in middle age

We are in global ecological freefall and climate catastrophe will only get worse, and worse, and worse. It’s already happened and cannot be averted. Naive “hope” is obscene in the face of this holocaust. I don’t want your feckless hope, I want *action* and revenge on the bastards who did this to us
"Public opinion" is not some uncontrollable natural phenomenon. It's literally just us. Don't let anyone tell you something's impossible because of some fucking poll. Go out and tell everyone you know about candidates and policies you approve of - and the ones you hate. We actually have that power.
Now you know that this (maybe the most famous gospel recording ever?) was recorded at Ephesian Church of God in Christ in South Berkeley, California

Private equity is buying America's hospitals and nursing homes. The playbook: pile on debt, sell the building, cut staff. The result, one landmark study found: patient deaths up about 11%. #news #information #privateequity
Yesterday, 20-year-old Tyrin Johnson was shot and killed by two members of the National Guard in Memphis.
Just here to say ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good as she was driving away. Sue me.
So here are some thoughts on this heatwave: against fatalism, against inevitability, and against the fossil fuel industry's ongoing efforts to ensure they do as much damage as they can over the coming decades. These fossil-fuelled extremes emerge from decisions we can identify in recent history
This man is going to get people killed.
Gee, what a coincidence. Every startup suing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has ties to Peter Thiel’s network: • Valar Atomics — backed by current & former Palantir executives & Balaji • Deep Fission — backed by a Palantir co-founder • Last Energy — backed by a former Founders Fund partner. 1/

It's now sinking in, the horror of what Elon Musk did over a year ago. I'm glad people are finally noticing, but wouldn't it have been better to notice in the moment when we might have been able to stop it?
get your bitch ass on a plane and I'll take you to meet some of the PEPFAR kids in your own damn home country whose medication you stole, if any of them are still alive
Writing "alleged" and "it calls" does not exonerate you from the error of continuing to print lies in the newspaper instead of writing "Trump administration violates international law again by murdering civilians on the high seas."
The latest attack brings the number of people who have been killed in boat strikes by the U.S. military to at least 211 since the Trump administration began targeting those it calls "narcoterrorists" in early September. n.pr/4elBRR6
"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob." —FDR, 1936
The rest of us desperately recycling and doing the little things we can to “save” the environment and then these utter shits, who could actually make a difference, are actively undoing any progress we’ve been making on climate change etc. and we seem to be just letting them.
Trump's DOJ is arguing that Elon Musk’s xAI has the right to run dozens of polluting gas-burning turbines in Mississippi despite not having permits. The reason? National security. The military is reportedly using a version of Grok to attack Iran. See what $300M in election spending gets you?
