Marco Rubio in 2016: For years to come, there are many people on the right...that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well.” (2016)

El Nino strength is important, but the extraordinary, accelerating, warming of global sea surface temperatures is much more important. See Super El Nino? – mailchi.mp/caa/super-el-n… Also available on Substack: jimehansen.substack.com/p/super-el-nin…

These are concentration camps

Americans, it's time to clean out the barn. You can no longer afford the luxury of filling Capitol Hill will senile old bastards and self-serving war hawks who are prepared to sell out the United States to Israel. You have smart people, I watch and listen to them every day being interviewed on podcasts on YouTube, I see them on TikTok and X. They're working for governments all over the world. No country needs them more than America. Get them elected. Stop the political rot. Stop this madness.

First time in . . . 20 million years . . . .

Incredible how everyone on earth now knows that Trump works for Putin except the American voter.

This is what they did before they abducted Maduro. They're gonna try regime change in Colombia as well. For the love of god IMPEACH HIM. 25TH AMENDMENT. HE NEEDS TO BE FUCKING STOPPED. WAKE THE FUCK UP.

Approaching a dictator-level cult of personality here. Can't overemphasize how un-American this is.

A reminder that US Embassy hostages were kept 444 days only because Reagan-Bush bribed Iran with weapons and airplane parts to keep the hostages past the 1980 election to defeat Carter and let Reagan take credit for their release on Inauguration Day 20 January 1981.

Exceptionally dumb, ideologically blinkered, unworldly and emotionally stunted men currently running the United States. Not a novelty in our history, but new depths are being plumbed.

I feel like “the cruelty is the point” doesn’t really reflect the current state of things as accurately as it used to. I think it’s much more fitting to say that the cruelty is all they 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦. it is their only policy on both offense and defense. There is nothing else.

If we lived in a proper country, the politicians we vote for would represent us and make sure companies aren’t allowed to do this. Unfortunately the truth is, no matter how many votes we give them, it doesn’t outweigh the CEOs and Billionaires own them, so we get this.

To even begin a process of democratic renewal a future US administration would have to break up media monopolies, pass campaign finance reform, dismantle DHS, eject Israel, prosecute corruption and war crimes, even before reforms like wealth taxes and universal health care. Who?

People who study this stuff say mass mobilization is the key to reversing democratic backsliding like the U.S. is experiencing today. slate.com/news-and-polit…

Restrictions on divorce and college admissions. The war on women is ramping up.

ASML's EUV scanners will be the last machines on Earth to lose helium. Party balloons will be the first to go. Helium is not manufactured. It is a byproduct of uranium and thorium decaying deep underground over billions of years. Vent it and it escapes to space. Permanently. A third of the global supply went offline when Qatar's Ras Laffan plant was hit on March 2. The rationing has already started. Here's what happens: Day 1. Party balloons. Distributors cut retail supply immediately. Day 7. Industrial welding and pressurization. National allocation kicks in. Switch to argon where possible. Day 14. Routine fab leak detection switches to hydrogen. Ultra-sensitive qualification still needs helium. Day 21. MRI machines. Older systems that vent helium cannot get refills. Elective scans delayed. Day 45. Global buffer depletes. Fabs enter conservation mode. Non-critical depositions switch to nitrogen. Day 60. Backside wafer cooling on older etch tools. Nitrogen conducts heat six times slower. Throughput drops. Day 90. High-power etch. Advanced memory and logic nodes cannot run without helium-grade cooling. Wafer production drops. Day 120. ASML's EUV lithography tools. $200 million scanners making the highest-value wafers on Earth. Leading-edge chip production stops. Day 240. $700 billion in data centers are being built this year. Higher GPU prices, delayed cluster expansions, slower scaling. Four months from birthday balloons to AI chip shortage.

If we don’t eat the rich, they will continue to consume us. It’ll never be enough for people like Bezos. Never enough money, acquisitions, or power, no matter the cost to the human life around him. He and every other billionaire are parasitic sociopaths.

Jeffery Sachs: “Israel's doctrine is kill its adversaries. Kill them in mass numbers, kill the civilians, kill the women, kill the children. They don't discriminate between civilians and military targets. They leveled Gaza... It is a rogue, brutal regime...”
