On Tue, Aug 4 at 6pm PT, I'll be participating in a live virtual Town Hall event, hosted by CA State Senator Mike McGuire, on our rapidly-developing #ElNiño event and implications for California from 2026 into 2027. No RSVP required. See you there!

Super El Nino Town Hall

Join Senator McGuire, along with climate scientists, meteorologists, and disaster preparedness experts, for a virtual Super El Niño Town Hall to learn how California is preparing for very strong or “super” El Niño weather patterns and events this fall.

Trump will lie about the 2020 election. Trump will lie about the 2026 election. But, if Trump claims powers he does not have, or tries to undermine free and fair election, we will sue and we will win. If you doubt me, take a look at my record in beating him and his allies in court.

A 🧵 on small science inspired by this paper that I just learned about. This is classic land grant stuff (cost to farmers of anything) taken up a couple of notches: it's co-authored by a commodity group employee, whose employer paid for the research, relies on internal Bayer data & uses AI. 1/

Artificial Intelligence In The Service Of Humanitarian Aid

Artificial intelligence is no longer limited to humanoid robots or virtual assistants. At the AI for Good summit, several humanitarian organizations presented projects aimed at facilitating the delivery of aid, accelerating disaster response, and providing better support for refugees. The World Food Programme, the United Nations agency responsible for food aid, is notably preparing field tests of remotely operated vehicles equipped with artificial intelligence technologies and semi-autonomous capabilities. Named "SHERP," these imposing all-terrain vehicles, standing 9 feet tall, were originally designed in Ukraine to operate in extreme and hard-to-reach environments. Assisted by AI, they can be remotely piloted in dangerous areas where human intervention would be particularly risky. Their primary advantage is the ability to reach isolated regions or areas made inaccessible by conflicts, natural disasters, or the lack of road infrastructure. They would also significantly reduce delivery costs, especially compared to the use of helicopters. For the World Food Programme, this technology could make it possible to reach populations who, until now, have remained out of reach of humanitarian operations. These vehicles could thus be used to deliver aid to Sudan, South Sudan, or even Uganda. Initial trials have already been conducted in Germany. Tests under real conditions are...

There is a veritable cornucopia of things to be angry about in regard to science and healthcare. That’s why there is going to be another march in Washington DC. It will be on October 24, 2026 at noon on the National Mall. For more info and updates, hit this link.

NEW: The postmaster general told Congress that, under a new proposed rule, the USPS will not deliver mail ballots unless states hand over their voter lists to the Trump administration. The admission is evidence that the traditionally nonpartisan USPS is complying with Trump's mail voting attack.

Postmaster general says USPS won't deliver mail ballots if states don’t give Trump admin voter rolls

“You are going to make a decision that people cannot vote by mail. That’s unacceptable," one senator told the postmaster general.

My book refers to Musk’s USAID cuts as a Silicon Valley genocide. The richest man in the world took a chainsaw to the poorest people in the world. Laughing. So much money, so much death. Remember their names when billionaires preach “abundance.” 👇 In their AI dreams, we are all the future poor.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

As the inevitable gravitational forces of truth, reason and mortality drag Trump to the ground, Solnit makes it make sense... "he found out you can seize a building but not an audience..." and in so doing strengthens us all for the fight ahead. www.meditationsinanemergency.com/winners-and-...

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇
