Surviving late capitalism (so far). Views are my own, but you can have some if you ask nicely.

I just need NYC (and this nation) to set aside its callous, chronic disregard for Black ppl/POC long enough to save itself. 10/x

Climate change is not "an idea" like JD Vance said tonight. Doctors know it's already hurting people's health. You can't address it by calling it a hoax, courting gas company executives, and having throwaway debate soundbites. You address it like Biden, Harris, and Walz have. 1/

JD Vance has said a lot of weird things about global warming.

Ahead of tonight’s debate, let’s do a JD climate denial round up 🧵

The White House and Biden Campaign should be *all over* this story about Trump asking Big Oil for $1 billion bribe to help him get elected.

Here's why this is political dynamite and how Biden could use it 🧵https://t.co/PQo6e290E1

As a doctor and a mom, I am so happy that the @EPA and President Biden took action this week to cut air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from cars and light trucks. Here's why the new standards for cars are such a big deal for our health: #SolutionsForPollution

Activists warn that the sprawling RICO case against "Cop City" demonstrators in Atlanta could set a dangerous precedent for cracking down on protest movements nationwide.

A New York Times investigation of Clarence Thomas's tenure at the conservative Horatio Alger Association shows that "Justice Thomas has received benefits — many of them previously unreported — from a broader cohort of wealthy and powerful friends."

My past three assignments have taken me to Austin, Atlanta & now Allen, TX.

Near Austin, a man shot 2 cheerleaders.

In Atlanta, a gunman killed 1 and wounded 4 at a hospital.

At an Allen mall, a gunman killed 8 people and leaves 7 wounded.

I hate wondering where I’ll go next.

Example of why you should not use FaceID to unlock your phone, this time from Norway: in 2022, a 28yo man filmed a uniformed police officer assault his two 26yo friends. The officer took his phone, turned it towards him to unlock it and deleted the video. https://t.co/0AJCRrgMsP

Justice Clarence Thomas has said that he prefers RV Parks and “Walmart parking lots to the beaches and things like that."

Instead he has enjoyed lavish undiclosed trips supported by a Texas GOP megadonor.

This story is a must read.

[ProPublica @propublica]

For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show.

The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇

The cops originally claimed they were "ambushed" in the forest. Then they claimed that they gave orders to Tort and they were ignored. Now their story has changed yet again; admitting they shot at Tort first. Autopsy shows Tort was seated with hands up. https://t.co/TuB3o47RGy

A new independent autopsy shows that the “Stop Cop City” activist was likely sitting cross-legged on the ground with their hands raised when they were shot 14 times by police. https://t.co/bHEp9x2WX5
