I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

They knew burning oil was making us sick and heating the planet — but lied to keep doing it. They knew plastic could get into our bodies — but increased plastic production >200X since 1950. There is no question Big Oil CEOs are mass murderers. The question is: Are Big Oil CEOs serial killers?

Center for Climate Integrity@climateintegrity.org

🚨"Internal memos among company scientists and executives obtained by The Times reveal that for at least half a century, the plastics industry has been aware of and concerned about the potential for microplastic contamination in the human body."

latimes.comIndustry executives knew for decades that microplastics were infiltrating the human bodyDecades before microplastics were found in human hearts and brains, industry executives privately knew about tiny plastic particles crossing the gut lining, documents from the 1970s and 1980s show.

This theft of personal information from millions of US citizens is just one more reason to subpoena Elon in the next congress, and build a case for his prosecution and imprisonment. Just a really bad man.

Kudos to the @reuters.com team that reported this. "Heat storms" is a great term for what we're experiencing. And I'll never forget the anecdote about the nosebleed 😱https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/climate-heatstorms-science/

Of course! Solar panels are now nearly as cheap as treated plywood. And the cheapest time to install them is when the house is built, so their (small) added cost can just go into the mortgage.

POW! All new houses built in Tokyo after April 2025 must include solar power panels. Let's speed that up. Who's next? RT if you think more houses should get a solar powered upgrade. We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Update: WE ARE BACK IN! We can post again. This was utter bullshit on the biggest early vote effort in history. But it will not stop what we're building. No Kings means no kings in the White House or in Silicon Valley.

Update: about 4 hours later and we still don't have admin access so we still can't post to the No Kings instagram account. This isn't slowing down the the 3,000+ early vote events today. We will drive the biggest early vote in history. But this should be a flashing alarm about what's to come.

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org
