@ntxwxsnr@mattlanza Agree 100% with diagnosis of projection and that this is a MAGA tactic. Also: this is the prep phase for Project 2025 -- getting people ignorant and mad enough to be the street-thug enforcers for the MAGA admin. The coup has already begun.
@AriWeather I live in NorCal. Our forecasts have been changing last-minute for several days now. Predicted temps rise by 5-6F each day.
Is there something going on that existing models don't model well?
Still missing you on TWC! What's happening in your world?
@RyanLawrence_2@dancohen3000 Rilly? But wait -- you are an atheist bishop? Wait a minnit there, pardner... You aren't Bishop Joey, are you? From the First Church of the Last Laugh? That's where us atheists go to get right with... each other.
After the highly suspect ouster of The Real News founder and longtime director Paul Jay, Chris Hedges' departure will deliver the nail in the coffin to a once-trailblazing alt-media organization. T.M. Scruggs, the lone sugardaddy of The Real News, has driven this outlet into the ground with his erratic personality and reflexively imperialist views.
The Real News will now follow hollowed-out or defunct online "progressive" outlets like AlterNet, Salon, Truthdig and many others into oblivion. These organizations rose to prominence during the GW Bush/post-9/11 era, marketing themselves as antiwar alternatives to the establishment, then gradually collapsed under the weight of liberal foundation donors, Obama worship, then Trump-era Russiagate hysteria, while their staff became infested with dysfunctional conformists driven by The Current Thing.
I have known Hedges for about two decades, and learned a lot from him throughout that time. I'm excited for his next act as a truly independent journalist.
@shekystudebaker@jeremotographs You do not allow dangerous people who are actively harrassing and provoking you inside your encampment. Just like Proud Boys, they are there to defile your message, cause an incident and get you in trouble. They retain their freedom of speech and access to the rest of campus.
So astronauts like Boeing's Starliner space suits. That's good, right? Boeing can still make something that works. Maybe they should give them to all their airline passengers (just in case, you know...). Especially on United.
In order to become president of the US, Trump has to grovel before a couple of Likudnik Israeli propagandists controlled by the widow of dead Zionist warlord Sheldon Adelson
This is the guy who will take on the deep state?
@AriWeather@jdfish0274 Oh, *dreadful*! You all are such ROCK STAR scientists and communicators!!! Every one of you. I imagine it's IBM's problem not having a sustainable biz model (like the rest of the media) but -- TRAGIC! Keep us posted! 🙏 ❤️
The White House strategy on Gaza currently boils down to this:
1. Continue the flow of weapons and other support to Israel to continue its campaign of war crimes against the Palestinians trapped in a killing cage
2. Make a big public display of how frustrated Biden is with his “great, great friend” of 40+ years, Netanyahu, in an effort to eventually promote a narrative that it was Netanyahu that was out of control and Biden tried to reign him in, rather than the truth, which is that this is a deliberately genocidal war waged by the Israeli state with the full backing of Biden
3. Lead the public to believe Biden is drawing a “red line” while simultaneously refusing to use the substantial powers and influence of the US presidency to actually confront Israel’s war crimes, which continue to be supported by the U.S.
@AriWeather : where are y'all? The WC videos are all missing our favorite meteorologists! Wha' 'appen? Would love to hear, "We've all been given a paid month off."
The docs and others who give us world-class care at UCSF, which touts itself as a progressive place, are being muzzled around support for Palestinian rights and freedom.
We launched this toolkit to counter the repression of freedom of speech and academic at UCSF. It's relevant to all the academics critical of Israel and supportive of Palestine across the US. UCSF ties with Diller family makes it more salient. Read and act.

@tomscocca Holy shit -- just read your "unravelleing" account. So well-written; says so much. I had a (somewhat) similar experience, albeit ultimately w/a diagnosis (cause unknown, tho) & treatment. But I believe both your illness and mine were triggered by bodily injury. Best 2u
@caitoz The Apartheid regime three point plan used since 1948:
#1: We are the chosen race
#2:We (and only we) are the victim
#3: Dehumanise the Palestinians
"After the Holocaust, we can do anything we want." (Golda Meir). For example slaughtering 5,000 kids in a concentration camp.
@MagsK4 @caitoz I downloaded it (thanks) and point #4 is: "There is NEVER, EVER, any justification for the deliberate slaughter of innocent women and children. NEVER."
