"I repeatedly warned that this kind of rhetoric is not harmless. It dehumanizes people. It turns neighbors into threats. It creates permission structures for hatred. I know this because I’ve seen where it can lead." - the main MO of this Administration is DIVION amongst the people. This is right out of the Authoritarian playbook.
Always a great Saturday morning read out here in Las Vegas. YOU are a TRUE patriot
"Scientists are warning that the Trump administration’s plan to significantly reduce a major ocean monitoring system could weaken weather forecasting, storm prediction, climate monitoring, and early warning systems used around the world. The network helps track ocean temperatures, currents, marine heatwaves, and the conditions that influence hurricanes, cyclones, and El Niño events. In other words, it helps us see what’s coming."
I am glad you pointed this out as the headlines from the evil empire do not embrace the invaluable information obtained as it relates to SST, El Nino, and Climate. Of course, as deniers what would you expect. As a duel degreed meteorologist, I find it heinous that (1) The above is being done and (2) the introduction of the use of coal, with evil persons like Lee Zeldin, master bootlicker looking to destroy the Agency and Chris "Solar does not work at night and in winter" Wright. Scary to know the latter is in charge of the USNRC
Zeldin absolutely has to be getting big dough from the coal industry. Not just campaign contributions, but big wire x-fers to one of his burner bank accounts
We are literally the only country in the world going back to coal. I keep seeing stories about entire countries being powered by clean energy. And here we are. The Flintstones
This frightens and infuriates this expat who's in The Bahamas most of the year and lost everything to Dorian, the hurricane that Chump tried to divert with a Sharpie. I was able to rebuild, but what I deeply and urgently want to restore is our democracy.
There is no limit as to how low this Administration will go. People still can’t afford food and gas, the Epstein files remain under lock & key, immigrants who are here legally are still being detained, and there is the very real possibility that our midterms will not be free and fair. Will there ever be a reckoning?
You warm my soul! Thank you for those reports. Stopping early warning systems as you point out, is more costly than keeping them in place. Just like stopping preventative health care. That is a strain on our system when people need to have treatment for preventable problems! Trump and his people dont ever look at the outcome of there rash decisions.
Thank you so much for finally talking about that sick Aliens site! I've been trying to get someone to say something! I learned about it because my best friend sent it to me, she was the daughter of an immigrant who worked hard to earn his citizenship, and her mother was born in a migrant work camp, which were terrible places to live. My friend's mother was sickly and because of that she wasn't able to go to work as quickly as most children in her family, and because of this she was able to stay in school longer and had a higher education than anyone in her family. She was able to finish the 3rd grade before she went to work in the fields...
I grew up in Arizona where to my knowledge all of the work camps have been dismantled. Here in CO where I now live, a group is working to preserve one of the work camps. This is a bit of history we should not forget, just as we should not forget that we once put Japanese citizens into concentration camps. This administration is working diligently to rewrite all of our history, both online and in life. This website is unbelievable to me. How anyone could find this acceptable of human beings, let alone a government administration, gives me little hope for the future. This DOES give people permission for violence. It stokes fear and outrage. Telling them that "aliens" are among them in their workplace and children's classrooms and then the big reveal, 😲, it's actually people! It's sickening. These are human beings we're talking about! And many of them work harder than any natural born citizen who takes for granted the privilege they were born into. I'm so tired of the dehumanization, the racism, the whitewashing of history. I do realize this is our country's legacy but it seemed like progress was being made in civil rights and women's rights, and now the rug has been pulled from under us like that was all some sick joke and all the old white men with sticks up their asses are laughing at us for having hope.
My brain was definitely in explode mode this past week. As always, thank you for untangling the mess for us. However I am also grateful for being educated about all the important things in the background keeping us safe and informed. Can’t explain why, but when I visualized that little buoy in the ocean, I got all teary! I want all those things to work for us all! (the socks on the donkey also made me verklempt!) have a great party! I, the bookwormy musician will be ready for some soccer!!
"There’s just one problem. Pulte has no intelligence or national security experience. Trump defended the appointment by saying Pulte is “less shackled.” That’s not usually the quality we look for in intelligence oversight." this has to hit close to you and every American. Out here in LV we have a AAA ballpark in Summerlin. Beautiful field. But beyond the outfield fence there is advertising and one of them is, "Pulte Homes", which makes me sick every time I see it. Now this sycophant has taken over for the "Bride of Frankenstein"? Let that sink in
Hi Olivia: I sure hope that you don't receive any "uninvited guests" to your watch party. If they decide to crash your event, they won't be any more welcome in that neighborhood than they were in MN. ☮️✊🐸
File almost everything (but not the socks!) in today's compendium under "things that should probably totally and utterly infuriate us and move us to action." But thanks for all of it, hideous and good.
As usual, you focus on 5 very relevant activities going on in our Country. Reducing human beings to something less than human, and listing some as deceased is just part of the administration's cruelty thing; they are evil people. We have GOT to get the House back in Nov! Everyone please VOTE!
We know why this is happening. We know who is behind it.
But - because we are a nation of laws, we want to remediate this hideous situation legally and bindingly.
For anyone still berating "Democrats" to wake up, no one is sleeping. We are working to end this legally. Because if the vigilantes ride and do it their way, that's as bad as what we now are enduring.

NO DOUBT! And Mr Fracking Chris Wright is getting dark money

This is absolutely terrifying!!!! And if you’ll pardon my base language (or if you won’t) Zeldin is a dick!

You are a force for GOOD, Olivia. Wish I could be in DC for your watch party. Thank you for all you do! 💙❤️🙏🏼
Me, too, Joyce!!

I love the Redwings story. Don't the horses and donkeys look smart in their bright red socks!🫏🐎
It’s good work and delightful results!!

Awesome as always, informative yet concise 😉. Much appreciated Olivia, good luck for your game!!
