I still think about the guy who pointed out that "the underlying purpose of Al is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth." Rarely have I seen Al described so succinctly.

This is Croatia right now…

Everyone needs to know what is happening in our world right now: Our planet has been experiencing the most extreme heat event in world history. This is the coldest summer of the rest of your life.

July was the hottest month in the United States since we records began in 1895—Washington, USA burned to the ground.

June was the hottest month in Europe, exceeded 40 degrees Celsius, shattering all heat records—caused over 25,000 deaths across the continent.

Venezuela, Columbia, Indonesia, and Malaysia earthquakes crashing. The planet has recorded exactly 10 major earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or higher—Earthquakes are not caused by CO2, but climate change can modulate them by secondary effects.

Rivers in China and Europe are drying up, reaching historically low levels—Just for perspective, the drying of these rivers will impact shipping routes, leading to a skyrocketing in the prices of food, fuel, and energy.

El Niño has begun, driving ocean temperatures to record-breaking highs—Nearly three decades ago, a catastrophic El Niño claimed 23,000 lives and inflicted billions of dollars in global economic damage.

Canada burned to the ground, and Greenland's ice sheet is collapsing—slowing down the overturning of heat in the North Atlantic, pushing the whole monsoon system down further south, causing droughts and forest fires over the Amazon rainforest.

The severity of this heatwave is truly hard to comprehend. What's going on there is a foreshadowing of our future.

Scientists confirmed that heatwaves driven by climate change. Climate change is not a "hoax." It’s real and it’s happening.

If you are not a scientist, and you disagree with scientists about science, it’s actually not a disagreement. You're just wrong. Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

This is no longer just a climate crisis. Climate chaos is inevitable. This is a humanitarian crisis. Just because you do not take an interest in climate change, doesn't mean climate change won't take an interest in you.

We should start naming heatwaves after fossil fuel and oil companies, and wildfires after arms and defense industries. And Could reporters stop asking if leaders believe in climate change and start asking if they understand it instead.

The world must remember that we live in a society, not an economy.

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

Found an imaginary problem, said only they could fix it, didn’t listen to experts, hired buddies who grifted millions, failed miserably, bragged how great it went.

The entire Trump presidency in a nutshell.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America.   

Trump’s DOJ just shut down a federal investigation into a coal company owned by Sen. Jim Justice, one of his closest allies, after it racked up tens of thousands of alleged violations for dumping dangerous chemicals into our waterways. A veteran federal prosecutor with 24 years on the job said he had never seen anything like it.  

The man who killed the case was Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal defense lawyer and current Acting Attorney General. This is the same guy who just gave Trump, his family, and his companies permanent immunity from IRS audits. Now Trump wants the Senate to make Blanche’s appointment permanent too.  

Equal justice under law was never supposed to come with exceptions for the President’s friends.  

The pattern isn’t subtle: protect Trump’s friends, prosecute his critics, and get rewarded with more power. That is corruption, plain and simple. Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

STAGED Assassination Attempt (Butler) UPDATE: Butler, PA Sheriff’s Office reportedly exchanged EMAILS with gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks BEFORE the incident!!
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was forced to release heavily redacted documents that revealed Thomas Matthew Crooks, trump’s would-be “assassin”, had exchanged emails with a Butler County Sheriff’s deputy prior to his attack on July 13, 2024.
Judicial Watch forced the FBI to make dozens of documents public through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, revealing that the deputy exchanged two emails with Crooks before the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. The heavily redacted document was part of an FBI electronic communication titled “Disc of 5 Deputies of Butler County Sheriff’s Office” conducted on July 16, 2024, which compiles interviews the bureau conducted with deputies.
The file indicates that a deputy had “checked her emails and records and only had two email communications” from Crooks. The nature of the communication was redacted, and the unnamed deputy said she had not had any “personal interaction” with Crooks.
WHY redacted? What was that conversion? What are they hiding??
Remember how I reported the Butler Chief of Police retired just one month before the incident and my earlier reports outlined how local law enforcement seemed coordinated in the effort to allow Crooks to get into position, even after several eye witnesses were pointing him out. This further indicates a multi-faceted scheme, complete with local law enforcement and the Secret Service to pull off the greatest HOAX in the history of American Politics! STAGED!!

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

@LAGovJeffLandry @realDonaldTrump Governor, Louisianans would experience 8am or later sunrises for over two months during the winter! DST does not make more daylight. Morning sunlight is needed for alertness, and overall sleep health. We need permanent Standard Time instead!

[Nick Davidov @Nick_Davidov]

The biggest bullshit move by DHS in its history. So everyone on a O1 or H1B visa would have to stop working legally in the US, go back to their country and wait for years of backlog? This includes top scientists in our universities, founders of billion dollar companies (at least 3 just in our portfolio would be affected by the way). And if we look at individual countries it becomes even more bs. Indians would have to wait decades. Russians don’t have anywhere to go (there is no US embassy in Russia, hello?).

This is the worst imaginable way to disrupt important work for the country and pretend you’re fighting some loophole.

[Rachel Coyle @RachelCoyleOhio]

Last year, Ohio Republicans passed a law forcing every district to let LifeWise take kids from class during the school day. We fought for months to add basic protections to the bill — like a background check requirement for LifeWise staff

They ignored us.

[The Left Bible @theleftbible]

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.

ICE violently detain yet another U.S. citizen—refuse to even look at his ID.

3 agents tackle man and injure his face—drag him away to unmarked car.

"He's not even an immigrant!" witness yell. "He's from here!"

"Why y'all kidnapping him for?"

Agents refused to give their badge numbers, show ID, or give any explanation.

"Take your mask off... why are you so scared?"

Incident occurred in Brooklyn, New York.

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration is finally admitting the price tag of ICE and deportations… but not the cause.

“It costs $18,225 per deportation.”

Multiply that by millions… yeah, it is staggering.

But, here’s what they aren’t saying…

It’s expensive because they made it that way.

They underfund the courts, fired a hundred+ of immigration judges… then complain the courts are “clogged.”

They restrict legal pathways… then blame asylum seekers for using the only ones left.

They drag cases out for years… then act shocked when attorneys are involved.

And they’re locking people in detention facilities when they don’t need to be… adding thousands in costs per person…

Because those facilities are run by private contractors… getting paid per bed, per day.

So, the longer people are detained… the more money gets made, and the more it costs per deportation.

But now, suddenly it’s the system’s fault?

No… it’s the design.

Break the system… bottleneck it… monetize the suffering… Then point to the price tag and say, “Look how broken this is.”

They created the cost. Now they’re using it as an excuse to remove due process.

Remember this at the ballot box: Republicans voted to allow copper sulfide mining - which has NEVER not polluted - to be built in the headwaters flowing directly into the BWCA. Republicans just sold out our pristine public lands & future generations for Chilean billionaires.

Instead of honoring our Constitution's key principle of a Peaceful Transfer of Power, POS Donald Trump Abused his Power on Jan 6th by inciting this violent & deadly attack on our country's Capital and should be in prison for life 🩸🩸🩸
