EXCEPTIONAL Minimum 34.5C at Medinah just 0.3C from the mid-September WORLD RECORD hottest night

Scorching heat on the Red Sea coast:47C+ at Yenbo.

Next 2 days might rewrite history and break historic WORLD records !

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

The washed version has even more impact imho

The business of America is... business.

Whomever these goons are, they are not professional law enforcement who have gone through academy and do regular training updates. These guys are shambolic and clearly inexperienced.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight Justice Riggs is right. We should not have to fight for democracy. But the reality is that we must.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

It's late May - the time of year when the Keeling Curve usually reaches its annual peak.

This means Earth is likely now - *over this last week* - experiencing higher levels of atmospheric CO2 than at any point over the last *MILLION YEARS*!

Watch what they do, not what they say.

SIBERIA RECORD HEAT

This incredible heat in Siberia keeps destroying records by the hundreds since months.
Today again temperatures up to 34C and even 32C at 62 of latitude !
Some records include
32.9 Ust Kut and 31.4 Preobrazhenka

Next days will be crazy in Mongolia with 38C

This is phenomenal.

Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.

It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

The nuance of how ecological systems actually work are not that hard to understand but are easily lost amid the sturm und drang of the modern information spaces

And they looked like a bunch of cos players who have had no actual training in how to work in a coordinated manner to effectively manage the scene.

They looked entirely like a bunch of functionaries who have been pulled up from other duties, given tactical gear and told to go do stuff.

As an Elder GenX... they are critical to my self expression!

Em dashes — and ellipsis… two of my favorite things.

WTAF!?

The state of warfare has been altered fundamentally. Like the machine gun changed drones are a new dynamic.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Read that back.

Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

FBI Director Kash Patel v Follow @FBIDirectorKash Just NOW, the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week. We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest. Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on foot and he's been in custody since, but the Judge's obstruction created increased danger to the public. We will have more to share soon. Excellent work @FBIMilwaukee.

Through all his troubles, neither the DOJ/FBI nor any state authorities ever subjected Donald Trump to arrest, preferring in every case to proceed by indictment and voluntary surrender. It’s notable that a sitting judge and pillar of the Milwaukee community was not extended the same courtesy.
