Last Notes npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken Here we go again. #Beryl went from being a tropical storm to a Category 4 #hurricane in about 5 minutes. This is the future we've built, and if #Trump wins, any chance of keeping the #ClimateCrisis from getting a LOT worse goes out the window. https://www.commondreams.org/news/unprecedented-and-very-dangerous-hurricane-beryl-explodes-into-category-4-storm?utm_source=Common+Dreams&utm_campaign=15a0abbf6f-Weekend+Edition%3A+Sun.+6%2F23%2F24_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-b6968bca63-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken You know who doesn't doubt that #ClimateChange is real? The #insurance industry. And homeowners nationwide are starting to feel the impact. This will not get better. https://www.yahoo.com/news/homeowners-struggle-insurance-major-companies-001500892.html npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken @npub1u3t…c6ug Well, you'd have to make an exception for a stretch during the mid 20th century when the court did pretty well on some key cases. npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken @npub1u3t…c6ug #SCOTUS has been the biggest obstacle to justice for at least a decade. npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken "The board of trustees for the Cypress Fairbanks independent school district in Houston voted 6-1 earlier this month to redact certain chapters in #science textbooks, including those about #vaccines, human growth, diversity, and #ClimateChange." Apparently, reality is too woke for these people. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/19/us-public-schools-texas-book-bans npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken "We had already run out of words to describe how catastrophic the situation is in #Rafah—but this next chapter will take it to indescribable new levels." Can the U.S. please stop assisting Netanyahu's #WarCrimes? https://www.commondreams.org/news/rafah-children-idf npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken A #Columbia professor who's also one of the smartest people I know had some thoughts about the pro-#Palestine protests. https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/112/324/309/248/124/961/original/b9a252f4dd1f4b63.jpg npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken @npub1rkt…sqek I am going to take a wild guess that you will likely be disappointed. npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken Usage of the site formerly known as #Twitter imploded in the past year, and in recent days, #Tesla's stock price has tanked. Could investors finally be catching on that #ElonMusk is a psycho who shouldn't be trusted to run anything? https://www.forbes.com/sites/antoniopequenoiv/2024/03/06/usage-of-elon-musks-x-dropped-30percent-in-the-last-year-study-suggests/?sh=617d3f51974f npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken @npub1j3u…ekhd @npub19g8…he8h @npub1xr8…3q0g Most people under 60 have little or no memory of infectious diseases being a real problem -- THANKS TO #VACCINATION. Hoo-boy, are some of them about to learn the hard way. #vaccines npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken @npub1qag…9gyn That article is a year and a half old. If you want to be pissed off at the #CDC, be pissed off at this: https://news.yahoo.com/cdc-likely-drop-5-day-192355480.html npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken One of the things I love about #Hawaii is the endless stream of cool reptilian visitors. This little gentleman is a green anole. #Herpetology https://media.mas.to/masto-public/media_attachments/files/111/784/747/398/720/319/original/944bb9fe1f2bf290.jpg npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken @npub1d82…3zk2 Unfortunately neither the report referenced nor any of the source documents it lists include any mention of banks based in #Hawaii, so they give me no information I can act on. npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken @npub1kpw…xzz4 Unless you've had detailed examinations of your cardiovascular and neurological systems, etc., you don't know what invisible damage it's done. npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken "If nerves, organs, and immune systems could speak, they would tell a tale of exceptional inflammation, aging, and death, which we must turn to science to hear." No, #COVID19 is NOT "just a cold." https://easychair.substack.com/p/enumerating-exceptional-properties npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken Correlation is not causation, but new scientific analysis finds that #Republican policies are associated with higher death rates. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0275466#pone-0275466-g001 npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken @npub1f2z…kh0y @npub1ccn…czwu Also, consider finding a different religion npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken @npub1ddp…2tax For politicians, yes. But citizens who want to keep democracy also need to be organized and vigilant abiut everything, from news media and social media to city council and school board meetings. npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken This seems important: "The #2024Election will not resolve the authoritarian attraction that the #Trump vote represents. So perhaps it’s time to prepare now, not later, for the political crisis that will undoubtedly emerge from that event, whatever the vote count may prove to be." https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/progressives-must-prepare-for-2024 npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken @npub1pkt…6lwy @npub1ul2…3war @npub1px9…v9r5 I remember when pundits solemnly told us that #Trump would never recover from saying that John McCain wasn't a war hero. npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken No, #climate activists should not be polite anymore.

He is right. npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken Racist governor spreads hate and is shocked, just shocked when racist violence ensues. When he's called on it, of course he attacks the press. #RonDeSantis #Jacksonville https://apnews.com/article/jacksonville-racist-shooting-desantis npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken @npub1px9…v9r5 Bad link! npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken I'm old enough to remember when multiple state and federal indictments were bad for a presidential campaign. #IndictmentDay #TrumpIndictment #Georgia npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken @npub19qm…sn8k Please let this be parody. npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken I'm reading "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," and 90 pages in, I'm convinced that everyone needs to read this -- *especially* anyone now leading a prosecution of #Trump. #Nazis npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken Sometimes the good guys win. #JustinJones #JustinPearson https://www.commondreams.org/news/tennessee-democrats-special-election npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken #[0] This is just bizarre. They simply reject mail with no notice to anyone???? npub1e8a5504n5zwnhyeuyewk2japn0n72ntlnp3s6w48na5dceqf58css05ear Bruce Mirken Always check out your new followers. I just got followed by someone whose profile had a portrait of Trump with a ❤️ -- and no hint of sarcasm. Now blocked.
