This might be the most insane footage of anything I've ever seen in my life

@NWSMorristown It’s been raining for a couple hours, but I don’t see anything freezing? The air temp is below freezing but the pavement was around 40*.

[Renee @PettyLupone]

maga: Sorry those kids were killed at school but no one’s taking away my right to carry. Fuck that.

Also maga: He was carrying. ICE is justified.

[Phil @PhilAmerica]

@netnwx Forgot to add, the certainty in this post should reflect the fact that my individual observation is in fact reflective of an entire region. /s

[Phil @PhilAmerica]

@netnwx Air temps are below freezing and the radar is showing freezing rain…but I just used my infra thermometer and the pavement is 38-41*. If the temps are only increasing I’m not seeing an icepocalypse.

Today is the day for Governors of blue states, who actually fund the federal government, to get together and come up with a plan to withhold all funds from the federal government and to deprive red states who take the money from the ability to do do.

Whatever the best of America once was, appears over. The fall began when a criminal pig was "elected" with Putin's help the first time. Fascism is now fully institutionalized. The guardrails are now fully compromised; corrupted courts and congress let an insurrection go unpunished. Our taxes now go to the federal government to pay and feed the secret police brazenly killing innocents in the streets day after day. And the assholes in charge do nothing. They literally go on vacation and remain on the take from the sick billionaires who keep them fat. The bad guys just might have won

If I were the family, I'd sue Stephen Miller for the "domestic terrorist" defamation.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

Guess which one of these two people the federal government murdered for "holding a weapon."

If the Second Amendment does not apply to this exact kind of moment, what do people think it is for?

A citizen can lawfully carry, see masked federal agents beating someone in public, move toward the scene to help, and then get erased with a hail of bullets because “he had a gun.”

That excuse is an insult in a country where possession is legal by design, where the whole point is that the public never becomes a disarmed audience watching state power operate with impunity.

I’m not interested in arguing frame-by-frame footage. I’m interested in the principle that a free people cannot accept a standard where lawful carry becomes a death sentence the second authority feels threatened.

If that is the standard, then the 2nd Amendment has been reduced to a vibe. The founders did not write it so Republicans could do militia cosplay on weekends.

I really need Democratic lawmakers to understand that we're fed up with them simply posting on social media "this has to stop" without calling for specific actions to make it stop.

We know this needs to stop. We elected you. Tell us what needs to be done to make it stop.

@netnwx Cold butts always follow a warm nose!

@Crazy_Gamer_2 @KyleGrainger @TennTrackWX Not a Met, but my impression is this area will get a mix. An all-snow winter wonderland is off the table, the forecast is now do we get another 2” of snow or another 1/4” of ice. Doesn’t matter what falls, it’s all gonna be an icy mess when temps plummet Sunday night.

@NashSevereWx You are, without a doubt, one of the smartest 11 year olds I’ve encountered. You have my respect.

The problem isn't Trump. The problem is the US.

When the outside world observes Trump's insane behaviour and his threats against allies, and we at the same time observe that there is no real action from the US public, Congress, the US Supreme Court, or the US media about this insanity, we will all have to conclude that the US accepts this behaviour.

The public in the US think the US is entitled to a certain position in the world where there is no room for decent behaviour and where there are no norms and rules.

That means that we all have to conclude that the US — not only Trump — has betrayed the international order that the US, with its Western partners, were the main architects of after the Second World War.

This is the conclusion that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney so clearly laid out in his speech at Davos yesterday. We simply cannot trust the US to play by the rules any more. Therefore, we also fundamentally have to ask ourselves — should we trust the financial and economic structure which is an integral part of the global rules-based order?

Americans live in the illusion that the US can do everything on its own, despite the fact that the US for nearly 20 years has lived beyond its means.

US private and government consumption has been funded by, among others, European central banks and pension funds. But we now have to ask ourselves — why would we trade in dollars? Why would we put our savings into US Treasury bonds?

If the US is not a rules-based society, we cannot trust the dollar to be a stable currency, and it would be insane to hold dollars. As domestic US institutions are eroded and governance structures destroyed, the US will be turned into an emerging market economy — or more accurately, a de-merging economy.

If the US threatens the territory of allies, then the US acts as an authoritarian bully nation. Nobody in their right mind would lend money to the US government. If the US doesn't live up to its international obligations and respect the sovereignty of other nations, why would we expect the US government to honour its debts?

If Trump can tariff nations that will not give up their territory, then there is certainly no reason to believe that the US will not introduce capital controls. And if that is a risk, why would you risk investing in the US?

It is not a question about Europe standing up to the US. It is a question about being prudent with our investments — about reducing risks.

Every day Trump remains in office, distrust of the US increases, and the cost for the US will go up day by day. And this is irreversible. It takes years to build trust, but you can destroy it by your actions in minutes.

Europe has now completely lost trust in the US. And so has Canada. It is up to the people of the US to demonstrate that Trump is an 'outlier', and it is up to the American people to stop him.

If you don't do that, we will have to assume that this is what the US is about — whether the name of the President is Trump or something else, whether the President is a Republican or a Democrat.

(1/) Keep seeing incorrect info being posted about recon flights. So here's a little explainer, specific to winter storm recon. Again, yesterday's transpacific flight was a pre-planned transit. The location of the Baja low was coincidental. Incidental HDOBs were collected…

Don’t cheer yet, north hopefuls. WPC also not buying it.
