Plainclothes, masked rogue agents roaming our streets and refusing to identify themselves made this inevitable. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress refuse to do anything. They are the party of lawlessness, violence, and abuse.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver:

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

"To bring a democracy under authoritarian control, you need more than a strongman. You need politicians who will assure the public, as we slide toward one-man rule, that nothing odd is happening. That’s the role Johnson is playing in Trump’s takeover."

Every Trump needs his Johnson: a flunky who will rationalize his crimes.

High resolution images from satellite and from eddy-resolving ocean circulation models point to an ongoing decline of the Atlantic overturning circulation, a key ocean current for our climate. Read more about it in my new blog article. 🌊 https://t.co/kpGAfSflh6

The #AMOC is the reason for Europe’s mild climate. Evidence that it is slowing has been piling up over the years – it now is likely at its weakest in at least a millennium, and it may even be...

Insane stories. Just gets worse and worse. If you support this stuff, you’re a fascist. Shame on you. And abolish ICE.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify family. Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time. He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child. She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck. This is not about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing Americans.

It took Hitler 3 months to remake the opposition into a terrorist threat so they could use the power of the state to crush all opposition. It’s taking Trump longer, but here it comes👇

The shameless GOP lying about next Saturday’s No Kings gatherings reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

DHS is already under court order to stop the targeting of journalists and use of pepper balls/tear gas. Not clear if this represents a violation of that order but Brockman clearly identifies herself as a journalist and appears not to posing any threat to say the least.

Must-read piece in the @Guardian (h/t @dpcarrington). In #ScienceUnderSiege, we describe how petrostates Saudi Arabia & Russia leveraged Musk's buyout of twitter so they could weaponize it for climate denial propaganda & attacks on renewables. https://t.co/0WlDICJgvc
