#CorruptTrump
Ever read The Dead Zone by Stephen King? I’ll swear that 40 years ago King channeled Donald Trump in the character of Presidential candidate Greg Stillson. This is the kind of National threat that is produced when we elect a corrupt, narcissistic, mentally ill sociopath into top leadership. 😬

Why? This does not help Floridians! Dems, we gotta get rid of R state legislators!
And Tesla got a carve-out!

Exclusive footage from the temporarily occupied left bank of the Dnipro.
The Russians do not evacuate residents from flooded areas or allow Ukraine to do so. But technology comes to the rescue. The Ukrainian attack drone Vampire, which previously destroyed the occupiers, delivers humanitarian aid to Ukrainians under occupation. Ukraine fights every day for the lives of people who are trapped.

Oooh, interesting. Not sure if this is still the case, but the #Mafia apparently was in control of #bread prices in #Italy 2016: "The police allege that bread retailers of all sizes, whether a street vendor or a supermarket, have had to buy their bread from bakeries tied to the Camorra Mafia for years, or otherwise deal with some of the mob's famous extracurriculars" #crime https://www.vice.com/en/article/78m7we/police-arrested-24-italian-mobsters-for-fixing-the-price-of-bread-in-naples

The European Parliament recognized the blowing up of the Kakhovka HPP as a war crime of Russia, — the report of the European Parliament based on the results of the plenary session in Strasbourg.
Deputies called on the EU to continue supporting Ukraine, introduce new sanctions against Russia and direct billions of frozen financial assets of Russian oligarchs to rebuild Ukraine.

#Avatar2 Just experienced a second viewing on Disney+. The first time, it was an expectations problem that kept me from completely embracing it. Seemed like some repetition to remind us that we loved the original. The second time, it brought me around. 👍 😃

#TrumpCorrupt He can’t make up his mind and his dummies don’t seem to care. All he had to do was say sorry, my mistake, take them, but now after his inditement,, reports are besides claiming the classified documents were planted, they are his to keep. He is basically trying to rewite the laws on the power of his populism. How much will stick? He is going for broke and if he can prevail, we as a Nation WILL KEEP SLIDING DOWN.

Will be fun to watch law enforcement claim to have been totally caught by surprise again when they somehow fail to show up with all of their heavily militarized crowd control gear they're always so eager to bust out whenever a leftist protest blocks a sidewalk.

“Why must we wait until we have irreparable damage to do something?”
When it comes to the historic #Brazos river, one company reigns supreme—as the top polluter—of this vital waterway. As her final contribution as our staff writer, @delger takes us down the "The River of the Arms of God" and looks at the damage done by #Dow: https://www.texasobserver.org/dow-brazos-river-pollution-nurdles/

1) Canada looks headed for its worse #fireseason ever according to Environment Canada and it’s only June.
Unusual as well, are dry and drought conditions across the whole country.
The cadre of #firefighters across #Canada is down by 30k personal. Luckily, countries around the world are sending firefighters to help out.

2) My guess?
It’s a perfect storm of #climatechange, economic factors that lead volunteer firefighters needing to find paying work and some loss of the available pool of firefighters due to #covid deaths and #LongCovid.
What would help?
Pay firefighters what they are worth and find money for permanent firefighting jobs.
Elect public official who understand the science behind #climate change and who are willing to take immediate action to address it.

I don’t love that Apple screws people into paying more for stuff that you could upgrade aftermarket on every other laptop, but I could see this being a great choice.
