Gotta steal this one, Alan. THANK YOU
Michael Mann says the historic Northeast blizzard isnβt a freak event. Warmer oceans are supercharging the strongest norβeasters. And as Trump guts FEMA and climate science, weβre less prepared for whatβs coming.
"Rule-of-law democracies cannot afford to back down in the face of U.S. threats of retaliation."
Damn, never thought I'd read a sentence like that in my lifetime. An important essay:

A few months ago, Trump said a surprise attack by the United States and Israel "obliterated" Iran's nuclear capabilities. The coming attack is designed to obliterate your attention to news that the U.S. president raped children.

Absolutely a fan, although I'm an old geezer and what I remember most is that my Mom, who liked popcorn and scary movies, said this was her favorite. I was born in 1954, so that's about right.
One more time.

Oooooh, I needed that!
I don't make pretense of being a regular reader of the Kyiv Independent, but this is some good journalism right here. The fires are burning everywhere, I realize, but this one matters too.

While I appreciate intellectuals' efforts to understand this nightmare, maybe he's just a lying, cheating, spoiled SOB who needed his ass kicked several more times than it ever was in his gilded youth. The GOP loves him because he's a bigot.

My beagle boys keep me going.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal
Republicans, have you no shame?
When an FBI agent took steps to investigate the death of Renee Good, he was shut down by Bondi. The agent resigned. I worry that today's killing may not be subject to a competent investigation either.

This one came to mind today with another Gestapo killing in America. Not quite a year since he said this.
