‘We are going to lose everything. We’ve been trying to warn you guys for so many decades. We’re not lying. We’re not exaggerating’’
When NASA scientist @ClimateHuman risked his liberty to try and wake people up to the threat of climate change
Ossoff: There's talk that he might try to declare me and Raphael Warnock illegitimate senators. Obviously, the President has no power to do that, but he does have the power to try to intimidate people. He's demonstrated his will to abuse power.
I expect him to use whatever he puts out there on Thursday as a pretext, either for some attempted unconstitutional use of federal power to interfere in the election, or to give his proxies and loyalists in state and local jurisdictions some cover for whatever they might attempt, or to lay the groundwork for challenging the result.
And the bottom line is that this is a real and live threat to voting rights in the United States right now.
This is a big deal.
A research scientist at Google DeepMind has broken cover & is calling out Google’s leadership on a deal it’s signed with the US govt that could see its AI used for military & surveillance purposes.
Kudos. So rare to see this. 👊
🇺🇸🇵🇸 “If they can do this to an American congressman, what can they do to Palestinians?”
Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17) was detained for over an hour near Khirbet Zanuta in the occupied West Bank after armed settlers carrying American-made M4 rifles surrounded his van. Khanna said the IDF soldiers who arrived knew an American congressman was in the vehicle and still sided with the settlers rather than helping. Khanna’s group was only released after the U.S. Embassy intervened.
During his days in the West Bank, including Hebron, Bethlehem, Beit Sahour, and Turmus Ayya, Khanna says he witnessed a “culture of impunity.”
He visited the school in Al-Mughayyir, where a 14-year-old boy and a 32-year-old man were killed by settler gunfire earlier this year, and met with Palestinian American families who’ve lost children to Israeli military and settler violence, including the family of Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim, a 16-year-old American citizen from Florida who was held in Israeli prison for over nine months without trial and returned home starving.
Khanna compared the West Bank to the days of Jim Crow in the United States, and says that Americans need to come to the West Bank and see “the apartheid in the West Bank with their own eyes.”

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Prominent host Cenk Uygur completely destroys CNN's Kasie Hunt.
He exposes her blatant hypocrisy for asking if Israel has a right to exist while ignoring Palestine's brutal occupation.
He confirms the media pushes propaganda to protect the Zionist regime.
Studies now present a striking picture of what happens when private equity firms acquire hospitals and nursing homes: predictable increases in harm and deaths. One landmark study shows: patient deaths up about 11% after such acquisitions.
Worth watching the full clip. This is happening all over the country. People's elected representatives have abandoned them and literally signed their allegiance over to corporations.
While Europe is responding to heat waves by buying more air conditioners,
China is deploying infrastructure that cools public space at a fraction of the energy cost.
Rooftops across Shanxi province are fitted with mist nozzles that spray droplets fine enough to evaporate before they hit the ground.
They switch on automatically at 35°C and drop surrounding air temperature by 5 to 8°C within minutes. The same system now runs at bus stops in Chongqing, public squares in Beijing and Wuhan.
The technology is not new. Evaporative cooling is textbook thermodynamics. What is new is that a government decided to fund the rollout at city scale before anyone wrote a policy paper about it.
🇸🇪🇵🇸 Swedish billionaire Roger Akelius announced the largest single donation in UNICEF Sweden's history, donating $76 million for Palestine.
This will fund and rebuild 400 schools, helping over 100,000 Palestinian children deprived of education due to the Israeli genocide.
🚨 BOMBSHELL! Top journalist Ana Kasparian drops a massive revelation.
She confirms the UAE just bought half of the Trump family's crypto company, funneling a staggering 580 million dollars directly to the President.
The White House is entirely for sale.
REP HUFFMAN: “The CEO of Trump’s Freedom 250 flew to Davos, stood in front of a room full of foreign governments and asked them ‘how they wanted to shape America’s birthday’. Then they stole hundreds of millions and committed wire fraud.”
Holy shit.
Jack Smith: I'll give you an example from from my life. I resigned as special counsel. I know I need to get a lawyer because the president has said he wants to jail me for doing my job. And so I retain lawyers, as soon as that becomes public, the president and the justice department target that law firm, and they do it because they don't want me to have counsel. They don't want to have anyone represent me…
They didn't reclassify, but they did do this, and that is huge. A giant step towards The Hague!
United Nations human rights experts have not "reclassified" documents, but instead declared that the allegations within the Epstein files may meet the legal threshold for crimes against humanity. The panel issued the statement following the release of millions of unsealed records by the US Department of Justice . [1, 2, 3]
The independent experts, appointed by the UN Human Rights Council , stated the following:
Legal Threshold: The widespread sexual abuse and transnational trafficking of young women and girls may amount to "crimes against humanity" rather than isolated criminal offenses .
Global Enterprise: The documents reveal a possible global criminal enterprise characterized by systematic exploitation, sexual slavery, and torture operating across multiple borders .
Systemic Failures: The panel condemned a "culture of impunity" that allows powerful figures to evade accountability, demanding independent, transparent investigations regardless of a suspect's status.
Criticism of Disclosures: The experts criticized the incomplete releases and botched redactions in the US DOJ files, warning that the handling of the documents has exposed sensitive victim identities and retraumatized survivors . [6]

After a college student finally found a treatment that worked for his ulcerative colitis, UnitedHealthcare decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs.
His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was caught sneaking out of speaker Mike Johnson’s office.
A Supreme Court justice should not have a private meeting with the speaker of the house.
What were they talking about?
Thank you, Justice Elena Kagan,
for responding to the SCOTUS decision to deport Haitian refugee families back to a place America knows is unsafe,
by adding Trump’s vile, racist, Christ-hating, exact words into the official case record.
VIDEO | "They said that [if] you target Israel, we will target you and your family, you have been warned."
In a recent interview with Al Arabiya English, International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan revealed that he, ICC jurists, and UN personnel have been subjected to direct threats targeting their families after pursuing war crimes cases against Israeli leaders.
The coercion intensified following a formal letter from 12 US senators explicitly warning Khan that targeting Israel would prompt Washington to target him and his relatives.
