Donald Trump's deployment of California's National Guard in Los Angeles was an unlawful and unconstitutional abuse of power. It was done over California’s objection — all in an effort to intimidate peaceful protestors advocating for immigrant rights.

nytimes.comCourt Says Trump Violated Law in Los Angeles National Guard DeploymentThe ruling, which comes as the midterm election nears, could make it more difficult for President Trump to seize control of the National Guard.

Matty with another sizzler. Setting aside the obvious “we don’t want fascism to win anywhere” rebuttal, you know what’s in Brazil? A whopping 60% of the fucking Amazon rainforest. Jair Bolsonaro, Flavio’s dad, oversaw a surge in deforestation. Oh, and we already just missed 1.5 degrees.

I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

Obama: Folks say, 'Well, Abdul didn't like some of the things you did as president.' We are not gonna agree on every detail of every issue. You know who else didn't agree with everything I did? Michelle Obama. I'd say about 5 times a day she's like, 'You knucklehead! Why you do that?'

The question is: Why did Trump derail peace talks?

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

Trump now endorses this. To no one's surprise.

The courts protected Amy Acton from her abusive mother for 50 years. But Vivek Ramaswamy brought her back to try to punish Amy one more time. Because that's the kind of man he is.

This is the singularity to worry about—CBS, CNN, X, TikTok etc all essentially controlled by the same ethically bankrupt owners.

News just broke that Elon Musk made a $1 billion investment in the Ellison family's Skydance, which owns CBS and CNN. Anoher step toward right-wing "media capture," as I wrote about recently in my Stop the Presses newsletter.

Forests stabilize climate better than ANY tech we've invented. And protecting an existing forest stores 8-12x more carbon than planting a new one. We don't need to invent the future. We need to protect it. 🌲

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

Happy Hagfish Day! Today we’re celebrating hagfishes - hagfishes are ancient marine animals perhaps best known for their remarkable ability to produce large amounts of slime when threatened. When the slime hits seawater, it expands to form a gel which can clog a predator's mouth and gills.
