I've updated my El Niño forecast plume with the latest April data (ECMWF, NMME, CFSv2, Canadian models). Its now looking like it might end up giving 2015/2016 a run for its money in terms of strength, with a peak of ~2.6C in the ENSO3.4 region by end of year: dashboard.theclimate...

Calls for 25th Amendment grow.
Trump says his deadline of 8 pm is firm.
Bill Gates will testify in Epstein probe.
The losses, horrors, and facts of the Holocaust do NOT give us permission to inflict those horrors on other peoples.
This is one of my biggest problems with the mainstream Jewish community and its reliance on framing us all as victims in perpetuity.
Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6.
Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity.
Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe.
We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.
ICYMI: @thetimes.com did a nice little profile on me
"I think covering this stuff over the last decade has probably negatively affected my mental health just bc it’s pretty bleak most of the time. But I still get up and feel privileged in some ways to be able to cover historic events for a living."
Thank you to everyone at the #NO_KINGS rallies for making your voices heard & being part of history.
The massive crowds were joyful, passionate & spectacular!
So were the signs...
He finally got his revenge against the man who asked him if he was up past his jail time.
Now it's up to us to ask why he's terrified to release #TheEPSTEIN_PedoFiles.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".
Corporate TV has no principals. The only thing they care about is grabbing all the money they can by putting out mostly crap. Their time is going to be soon over.
I stand with PBS.
I stand with NPR.
I stand with Stephen Colbert.
I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.
I stand with the First Amendment.
PERIOD.*

🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”
wow -- even GOP Rep. Womack isn't happy that OMB DIrector Vought hasn't provided a budget proposal (note that Vought basically says he's too busy to do it)
I think a lot of of those folks dressing up like ICE are not even cops much less federal agents.
The way they carry themselves. The way they are dressed. Something is off.
Reminder to ICE: Do not lay hands on American citizens. Video, photos, and personal information have been recorded. Actions have consequences. If you have information to share, email report@ourparks.org. Your safety is our top priority, never forget that.

Moskowitz: "Nothing has been made more efficient. Here are the wins for congressional Rs. You ready? They're gonna do a $9b recession bill. They're gonna get rid of Elmo, which the American people were clamoring for, but they're gonna add $2.4t for the debt. And then they want us to cheer for them."
I like the idea of Bluesky and have a totally different vibe on here, but nothing can compare to the joy of polluting the echo chamber of twitter with my lefty rhetoric.
thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning:
"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."
I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :)
Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.
After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.
President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.
Let's be clear: You need 2/3 of Congress and 38 state legislatures to ratify an amendment. Trump doesn't have that.
For all that my GOP colleagues claim to love our Founding Fathers, they seem to have forgotten the words of Thomas Paine: In America, there is no king but the law.
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”
