I'm a recovering hydrographer and former GK interested in democratic values, government services, mapping and spatial analysis, and the health of this ocean planet. Experience mapping coastal NE Pacific from SF Bay to Bering Sea. LAFC is my team.
His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.
Trump to the UK, 6 March: "We don't need them any longer... We don't need people to join wars after we've already won!"
Trump six days later: Publicly begs for the UK to send warships.
I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.
This timeline sux
Well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wall art at Union Market in DC reads, “OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY.”
Look closer. Fallen soldiers’ names: Nicole Amor, Declan Coady, Noah Tietjens. Each marked, “DID NOT HAVE TO DIE.”
And at the bottom, the gut punch: “FIGHTING IRAN FOR THE EPSTEIN CLASS.”
In short, with his war in Iran, Trump has created a big, possibly catastrophic problem: A half-ton of highly enriched uranium, which can be made bomb-ready, is somewhere…out there—available for use by Iran’s new regime.
Fascinating
Israel is planning to occupy Southern Lebanon.
I mean, what could go wrong?
It's worked so well in the past!
Curious to see what Schumer and Jeffries have to say about this...
Start asking why ICE wasn’t watching the ODU guy.
@vanhollen.senate.gov has emerged as a moral leader. He's been on the right side of issues the past year.
Absurd heat! Despite our best efforts, the monster heat dome is bound to be "undersold" by the meteorology community. Why? Because intensity like this is almost never seen. This thing has the potential to be Epic for Mid-March, and not in a good way… 1/
I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened
Open questions: missing 37 pages of investigators’ notes, and follow-up about the two “additional interactions” with Trump she mentioned but did not describe.
Notable is the pervasive atmosphere of fear and threat. Civil case not public.
All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Respect recognizes respect.

“Jesse Jackson spoke to a crowd of 5,000 students on the steps of Hamilton, while more than 1,000 students guarded the entrance” I remember.
5 of my favorite Presidents 👇🏾
So dark and unhinged. The Trump regime is dropping thousands of bombs for clicks.
If you’re not horrified by this you have lost the thread.
No. Peter Thiel cannot be allowed to annex the National Science Foundation via this Palantir proxy.
It would be like putting a pyromaniac in charge of the Library of Alexandria: destruction of a global treasure with no "undo" button.
This is a "to the barricades" moment.
Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0
excellent deep dive into all of the ways that the Trump administration has used the federal budget to keep punishing critics and trying to bend them to his will. FWIW, this is precisely how Viktor Orban crushed the opposition in Hungary 15 years ago. The national budget is a powerful weapon.
Pacific Ocean Floor by MARIE THARP, Bruce Heezan, and Heinrich Berann, *as published in* the National Geographic. There, fixed it.😉
WELL NOW, would you look at that?
A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.
Oh wait, I said sell? I meant give away. apple.news/AP8N8NalZS9C...
“Arizona’s largest public utility reaped $69 million in savings … utility returned that money to its customers as a credit on their bills.”
When SCE and PG&E stop selling electricity to Arizona and Nevada, while charging more to CA customers, perhaps we can think about this. I hate the disincentives of CPUC.
Truly excellent piece from @warinthefuture.bsky.social on the people fighting the war in Ukraine, and what we democracies must learn from them
