Fixed it for you, @thetimes.com!

Any political “leader” still selling the obviously false choice between #ClimateAction and “the economy” is just reminding us that they clearly don’t understand either the climate crisis OR the economy. Or they’re cynically hope that WE don’t understand the difference. Or both.

The BBC News homepage has now COMPLETELY removed its Climate section?! It has now been relegated to a sub-menu via the "More" button in the right-hand corner.

This is it, right here, right now. The whole game. All his voter suppression, gerrymandering, and other election cheating has led to this. If Trump takes over elections, it’s game over for democracy in the United States. If the people aren’t willing to shut down the country over this, it’s over.

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has foolishly cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, and homelessness is predictably now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if lazy political ideology doesn’t get in the way.

Do you get it now?

ICE is detaining children and sending them to Hell camps. Shindlers list comes to mind. ICE will not allow any inspection of the concentration camps. This is child abduction and child abuse! Anyone with children should imagine the terror ! The boy kept asking if he could just go home!!

I’m aware that some are unfollowing me because I’m posting “political” things (that’s a bizarre word for the evil and insanity that’s happening). To each their own. I find it surreal that other urbanists are just posting normal city-building content like everything’s normal. It sure as hell isn’t.

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

Police mistakes happen, and they're big news. But if you think about a scenario in which US Government is proven to be lying about killing its own people, that would be one of the biggest news stories of the century. And it's happening. And it's not being reported as what it is.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

… Furthermore, according to two other sources with knowledge of the situation, top officials in the Trump White House reminded their federal colleagues in and outside the West Wing that Pretti should be referred to as a “terrorist” in written statements and public messaging, no matter his background

When they lie this obviously & shamelessly about their murder victim, a neighbour who was helping his neighbours and was attacked for it, when there’s video EVERYWHERE showing the ridiculousness of their lie, then you know for sure that they’re lying about literally EVERYTHING they say. Everything.

Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.
