Why are we seeing record-hot temps and heatwaves around the world right now? Because most of the world's oceans have been record-hot for months. Plus, the new El Niño is already pushing more heat out of the Pacific.

Trump’s entire life is marked by moving money around to hide it from taxes or creditors or litigants and now he’s doing the same shit with OUR MONEY. Not his. Ours.

The pattern: *Nobody died from USAID cuts *Nobody killed by ICE is innocent *No Muslim in UK can escape being labeled rapist or murderer *No Somali in Minnesota is there legitimately by definition When Musk says "zero died" from his USAID cuts, he means zero died who are actual people
