His replacement has some of the worst approval ratings of all time to the point that it’s genuinely hilarious. Even when Castillo was most despised, he still was 3 to 4 times as popular. She is currently sitting at a 5% approval rating, 90% disapproval rating lmao

Like said they would use the missile to hit a ship or did use a missile which hit a ship?

Easily a top 10 sigma moment of all time. Arce's aura was so powerful today that Hexbear devs had to preemptively shut down the site for our own protection.

If he is truly a Marxist, this moment should change him forever

The funniest part about what you said is that Arce was the one who ended up on national TV and told the people of Bolivia to show the coup plotters what it will look like if they try to continue. Immediately military and police got routed by hordes of civilians who surrounded them from every direction lmao

Literally not even an exaggeration. Arce came outside to scold the coup plotters to their faces. This is also after the coup plotters already got completely routed by civilians and forced to consolidate directly around Arce. In the video that this pic is a screenshot from, Arce tells him directly, ”Stand down, general. That’s an order. Are you going to listen to me?”

No more than 15 minutes later Arce was on national TV appointing new military leaders to thunderous chants of “the people, united, will never be defeated”

I’d like to see NYC-DSA actually try to test their influence in NYC right now by running Bowman as a write in candidate for the general. Obviously electoralism isn’t everything, but NYC-DSA has a reasonably strong ground game and mobilization in NYC and this is a real show-up or shut-up moment. As an organization that calls itself socialist, it can’t keep running candidates as democrats forever when the stakes have been raised to this point. The democrats have already proven they want to crush DSA and will throw as much money as necessary at the problem to do so.

NYC is a great place to try it if democrats really want such a dirty break with their left flank. Bowman’s district is the Bronx and Westchester, and a split vote could mean enough to at least make the Dems lose, which would be funny but also embolden left wing candidates/voters in one of the few places in the country that they command enough of the vote to change election outcomes.

In September 2019, Jonathan Teixeira joined the 102nd Intelligence Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard as a Cyber Transport Systems journeyman. He was stationed at Otis Air National Guard Base in Cape Cod. In July 2022, he was promoted to airman first class and held a Top Secret security clearance. Despite his low rank, he had access to classified information, given Teixeira’s responsibility for maintaining Top Secret computer networks.

In early April 2023, Teixeira was alleged to have repeatedly shared classified information in a chat group called "Thug Shaker Central" on Discord. Reports suggest that he was the chatroom administrator and that there were between two dozen and fifty members. One member allegedly posted dozens of pictures of classified documents on another Discord server on February 28, 2023. After the documents appeared on Russian-language Telegram channels, The New York Times reported the leak. On April 21, The New York Times reported that an account with similar characteristics as Teixeira's online profile had shared summaries of classified information and likely shared photographs of documents with a Discord chat group of about 600 members from about February 2022 until about March 2023.

On April 13, 2023, the FBI arrested Teixeira at his mother's residence in Dighton. The next day, he was charged with two offenses: violating the Espionage Act of 1917 by retaining and transmitting national defense information without authorization and unauthorized removal and retention of classified information. The first charge carries a maximum sentence of ten years, and the second charge carries a maximum sentence of five years. Teixeira is represented by counsel from the federal public defender's office, and his detention hearing is scheduled tomorrow (April 27). He has not entered a plea yet.

 

Removing rocks from the stream bed or stream edge to stack or throw can be aesthetically pleasing, but very damaging to the habitat you remove them from in both the short and long term. In the short term you are altering water currents, potentially speeding up certain areas and slowing down others which not only displaces wildlife in both of those areas, but may result in neither being suitable for habitation. It also creates a cascading effect in water flow, causing sediment to settle in areas of what is now slow flow and increasing erosion in areas of high speed flow. This disturbs the physical environment of the waterway, as well as its chemical (nutrient), chronological (change over time) development, and oxygenation.

In the long term, moving rocks brings about another issue, which is erosion. All waterways are shaped by erosion, and a rule in geology is the bigger the rock, the more force it takes to move. This rule is universal from boulders all the way down to individual clay particles. Your ability as a person to lift an even moderately sized rock has a monumental impact on the dynamics of the waterway. In some areas, a rock that may fit in just the palm of your hand might only be able to be moved by a once in a generation flood event. A stack of 3 or 4 of these rocks removes the equivalent of HUNDREDS of years of potential habitats, oxygen infusion into the water, or accelerates/decelerates the rate of erosion in the area you removed/added the rocks by hundreds of years. Simultaneously, you are impacting the riparian zone (edge of the waterway), an incredibly important habitat for terrestrial, aquatic, and amphibious plant and animal life. Changes erosion at the edge of a stream, river, or lake impact the whole body of water in all of the same ways as listed above.

Knowing when not to intervene is an equally important aspect of being a good steward to your natural environment as knowing when to intervene. Let nature do it’s thing and you’ll have even more beauty to enjoy when you are surrounded by it
