AMY GOODMAN: One firefighter speaking to Agence France-Presse, AFP, reported seeing a pyrocumulonimbus, a fire-generated thunderstorm. Now, this is common in Australia and Canada, but can you talk about the significance of this being seen in France? I mean, there’s, it seems like — maybe you knew this word; I sure didn’t — there are new words now.

JOHN VAILLANT: [inaudible] and I had to learn it to write Fire Weather. Pyrocumulonimbus clouds are fire-generated thunderstorms. They can puncture the stratosphere. These fire systems that turn the — they rotate the same way hurricanes do. They can be 45,000 feet tall. They generate their own lightning. They produce black hail. And these lightning strikes can strike 30 or 40 miles away from the center of the fire, starting new fires. So, it becomes, essentially, a self-perpetuation machine of fire that is literally unstoppable.

And in Redding, California, in 2018, one of these systems generated an actual EF3 tornado, 165-mile-an-hour winds that tore houses from their foundations and lifted F-150 pickup trucks and threw them through the air, killing and burning and crushing their occupants. It’s extraordinary, kind of end times-class energy that is being released by these systems now.

What most people in the US don't understand is that for a family to immigrant to the US is a big deal. They're putting everything on the line for a chance for a better life.

I want these people to come here. We should be welcoming them and making their journeys easier.

Israelis killed a 9-year-old boy in Gaza.

My first job was bussing tables and I got paid $3.02 an hour with no tips.

Guy in Texas who drives a Nazi car was fucked up behind the wheel and killed a woman in her home ... says the Tesla was on auto-pilot. These people from Musk on down are a threat to public safety.

Dems don't care about connecting with voters - just donors.

Dems do not care about voters - they care about donors.

Literally laughed out loud at this one.

Manufacturing for shit we need sucks. Everything is literal trash. Nothing works like it used to. Nothing lasts like it used to. The film Kinky Boots explained it pretty well. They want to sell us shit that's barely good enough, that will eventually break and you'll need to buy it again. They're making everything a subscription.

The money they're stealing, plus the waste they're creating and the energy they're consuming to sell us trash has to be astronomical.

And there are no options for people. You can go to any store - online or irl - and they all sell the same trash.

If only there were some way to regulate commerce and manufacturing to ensure that people are being provided quality products that don't destroy the planet and rip people off.

FWIW: This is what they will do with AI too. AI will be "good enough" and they'll make us pay for it.

That so many people in the US truly believe we can vote our way out of this is scary and a fatally flawed strategy.

If you don't believe me, look at what the Germans another critics of Hitler said when he was taking over. Surely, the German voters will reject this unacceptable man. They didn't.

So go ahead ... vote and pray, but just know that it won't work. You will one day soon, be like, "Fuck, I should have actually done something when I still had a chance. Now I'm fucked."

The political analysis of US politics that they do on Al Jazeera is often not good.

One reporter was like, "There's nothing Trump can do about NATO because it was an act of Congress that the US joined NATO."

When has Congress gotten in Trump's way - ever?

In Gaza, local and international media outlets report Israeli forces tortured a Palestinian toddler to coerce a confession from his father. According to reports from Palestine TV, Al Jazeera and others, the child’s father, Osama Abu Nassar, was detained near the al-Maghazi refugee camp on Saturday after he came under fire from Israeli soldiers. He was forced to approach an Israeli checkpoint, where he was separated from his 18-month-old son, stripped naked and forced to watch as soldiers used a cigarette to burn one of the toddler’s legs while using a nail to puncture the other. This comes as a new report published by a U.N. expert on Palestine warns Israel is systematically torturing Palestinians on a scale that “suggests collective vengeance and destructive intent.” This is Francesca Albanese, U.N. special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory.

Francesca Albanese: “Since October 2023, torture has effectively become state policy, sustained by a torturous culture that is socially produced, politically defended and publicly normalized. The proposed bill on the death penalty for Palestinian detainees marks yet another dangerous escalation. I’ve therefore recommended that those responsible, including senior officials such as Itamar Ben-Gvir, Bezalel Smotrich and Israel Katz, be investigated and, where warranted, that arrest warrants be issued.”

A Florida handyman who was sentenced on Thursday to life in prison for molesting two children had been convicted of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but was pardoned by President Donald Trump.

Executed a year ago by ICE, Ruben was 23 years old - a US citizen. Accused of striking a cop with his car and received the death penalty.

We're just finding out about this ICE killing now. How many other murders are they hiding? All of them.

Ruben is the 5th person we know of executed by federal agents since Trump started to attack the nation. Many more have been killed while in federal custody. These are just the people they killed on the street.

Don't worry. You just have to vote really, really hard for Democrats. That will do it.

President Donald Trump promised Friday that he will make it harder to vote in the upcoming midterm elections.

"The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections," Trump falsely posted on his Truth Social page. "This was not what our Founders desired."

Trump claims to have "searched the depths" of legal arguments on the subject.

"There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!" Trump threatened.

A new GOP proposal would impose strict voter ID requirements. Trump, who has previously cast his vote through mail-in voting, said he wants to severely limit who can vote by mail.

"Also, the People of our Country are insisting on Citizenship, and No Mail-In Ballots, with exceptions for Military, Disability, Illness, or Travel," Trump said. "Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

Biz Stone is on the Mastodon board? Why do I hate that?

Yeah, don't look at me, I'm busy ... go look at these other pedophiles. They're way more interesting than my child rape stories. -- DJT

There's no end to this. We could go on forever.
