Having a hard time with this one.

Map snapshot depicting the predicted relative anomalousness of surface temperatures from the ECMWF ensemble over the Western U.S. in about a week from now. A a huge region of bright orange and red colors (depicting extremely high warm temperature anomalies) is centered right in the middle of the map, and covers essentially the entire region.

Lots of buzz online about an upcoming major March heatwave for the American SW & California. And in this case, it does indeed appear increasingly likely than an extremely anomalous and even record-breaking heatwave may envelop much of the SW about a week from now.

If this is the only thread you come across from me, some context:
- I was there
- My whole job is covering protests (so I know when NYPD is whiffing it)
- I live-reported and continuously updated as new details emerged
- I was at jail support

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god

Hi Marisa, one of my favorite indie journalists says she's staying on Substack (not exclusively) because areas of her reporting are targeted towards substack itself so it makes sense for her to say. Can I ask what your basic opinion on that is?

Today @lataco.bsky.social launched a fundraiser to help me start their investigative news desk. We're hoping to raise $25k to help pay for lab tests, analyze ICE data that the Daily Memo's been compiling + work with more freelancers. Been dreaming of this for years!

@novaramedia Israel’s prison authorities have begun preparations for executing Palestinians under a proposed law condemned by Amnesty International and UN experts. The preparations include the construction of a “green mile” facility to carry out the hangings, with groups of three volunteer executioners simultaneously pressing a trigger, Israel’s Channel 13 reported. Two prison rights groups described the death penalty bill as an “unprecedented act of savagery”. Meanwhile, eight UN experts last week called on Israel to withdraw the bill, which mandates executions within 90 days of a guilty verdict. The bill, which must pass two more readings in the Israeli Knesset to become law, introduces two tracks for the death penalty. In the illegally occupied West Bank, Israeli military courts would impose the death penalty for “terrorist” acts that cause someone’s death, even if it was unintentional; while in Israel and occupied East Jerusalem, the death penalty would apply under Israeli criminal law, and only for the “intentional killing of Israeli citizens or residents”.

Only Palestinians will be executed, while Israelis convicted of similar offences will face prison sentences. If passed, the Israeli government intends first to target the law at the elite Hamas military unit that conducted the 7 October 2023 attacks. Palestinians in Israeli detention camps are subject to systemic torture, including rape, genital mutilation, sleep deprivation, electrocution and beatings. Many are held without charge, while those who are charged are routinely denied fair trials: the conviction rate of Palestinians in Israel’s military courts is over 99%. The expansion of Israel’s death penalty laws is a long-held dream of several members of its cabinet, notably national security minister and far-right settler Itamar Ben-Gvir. The country has never formally abolished capital punishment, though it has only ever meted it out twice: once in 1948, when it executed army officer Meir Tobianski for espionage; and once in 1962, when it hanged Nazi leader Adolf Eichmann.

Novara Media reports how Israel’s prison service is preparing to execute Palestinians under a proposed death penalty law. Plans include a “green mile” hanging facility, w/ executions mandated w/in 90 days. The bill, still 2 readings away from becoming law, would apply only to Palestinians, not...

Fucking disgusting man. This is *not* the flame I was trying to carry.

Over the last few months, TPUSA has made similar state partnerships with officials in Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and (launching next month) Indiana. Some of these states are also requiring a TPUSA club on every public college campus too.

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.

I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

They're calling HRT a "sex-rejecting procedure" now. I guess that means my wife gives me HRT every night!

This teenager saved his neighbor's dog from drowning in a freezing pond. This is Bernard. His family contacted emergency services right away, but high school senior Hugh Pinneo got to Bernard first. Hugh said he's "just glad I acted that day and saved the dog's life." We are too. 12/10 for all
