I wrote before Trump's arraignment why Trump should be held without bail for his Jan 6 crimes. With Trump now openly threatening prosecutors and even witnesses, it's time to remand Trump to federal custody pending trial! https://deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/donald-trump-should-be-denied-bail

Hannah Arendt….'the banality of evil"

slap down, implying "let's speed up the trial date, because this guy can’t be trusted"‼️

Steve Schmidt says Ron DeSantis "may be the worst presidential candidate of the last 50 years who has received any attention whatsoever from the national media" But when I see DeSantis I can't help thinking of Scott Walker, the former WI governor. The political media was briefly infatuated with him, he was the GOP's next great hope, and then he imploded.

I never understood the fascination with walker. I thought he was terrible. Zero charisma, terrible ideas, goofy looking.

Less than 24 hours after being read the conditions of his release Trump gave the finger to our system of Justice. He believes he's above the law because he has been allowed to be above the law. #DPT #JusticeMatters #Accountability

Zack Beauchamp notes that though the canard of "economic anxiety makes them do it" — support Trump, that is — has been thoroughly debunked, no less than David Brooks at his New York Times bully pulpit keeps pushing it. Because it makes us feel comfortable. it exonerates Trump supporters, while facing the reality of what is really motivating them does not comfort us.

The kingfishers might not see eye to eye.

But there’s one thing we all can agree on – our Natura 2000 network is a haven for valuable and threatened species and habitats:

🌳 The mythical Foloi oak forest 🇬🇷

🦋 The Jersey Tiger butterfly and the Kingfisher Alcedo Attis.

🏞️ The Rila National Park 🇧🇬 with its mountains and glacial lakes.

Now is the moment for us to recognise those who work hard to preserve our natural heritage.

If you say “I will not change my climate behavior until <Rich Person> stops flying in a private jet”, someone will point at your behavior which releases more carbon than they and say “until they change, I won’t change”. And there will be someone pointing at them who has an even lower impact.

Yes, privat jets must be banned. But everyone must change their behavior. Who releases more, must do more. But this is on everyone.

Because, if everyone is willing to change, we can ground those m-fers.
