Big jet of fire in the Caspian Sea off Azerbaijan at ~9:30pm local time on the 4th of July. First official reports say its a big offshore mud volcano eruption. This may be the Makarov Bank mud volcano, which did exactly this in 1958. Let's start a quick evolving thread!
WATCH: Large explosion reported near oil platform in the Caspian Sea; officials say it may have been caused by a mud volcano

Did you know that it was warmer on Christmas Day than it was on Independence Day in Augusta? Both holidays were wet, but the temperature extremes were in opposite directions as Christmas was record warm and July 4 was record cool. #mewx

Art saves lives and makes the world a better place for everyone. This is truly inspiring.
What if the justice system was based on human dignity? Today we premiere UNLOCKED, a short film about @RTA_ARTS. Less than 5% of participants return to prison compared to the national rate of 60%. See why & join the movement: unlockedvoices.org #RTAUnlocked #ArtsInPrison

If you only start isolating after YOU PERSONALLY get a positive test, it's impossible to control the spread. Quarantine protocols exist to stop chains of infections. And this isn't new -- it's been the protocol since the pandemic started. cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nco…

Two conservative activists, Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, have been charged with multiple felonies in Michigan for a series of false robocalls that aimed to dissuade residents in Detroit and other cities from voting by mail. apne.ws/ETSc1LT

WOW: According to DOJ complaint, major Susan Collins donor just charged/arrested for $13M in PPP fraud seems to have thrown Collins name around w/ his bank; alleged senator who "helped write the PPP" was working to facilitate his request for funding thru the program. #mepolitics
Replying to @nickgrube
According to the criminal complaint, Kao was pressuring a local bank to approve his loan, highlighting that he was well connected to a powerful U.S. senator. (Of course, the DOJ has not identified the senator or any of the other politicians Kao supposedly name-dropped.)

PENNSYLVANIANS!!! PAY ATTENTION! if you’re voting by mail put the ballot into the “secrecy envelope,” then put THAT into the outer “declaration envelope.”
They're called 'naked ballots'. Tonight, there's concern they could disenfranchise 100,000 Pennsylvania voters. In 2016, the state was decided by 44,000 votes. Key reminder: Ballot goes into secrecy envelope, both go into outer, declaration envelope. wtae.com/article/theyre-call…

The Pantanal is currently on fire in Brazil and yet this doesn’t make the headlines. I don’t mean to say it is more or less important than current fires on the US west coast or the Australian fires last year, but this might be an consequence of climate change. A thread 1/n

2/ Don’t just believe what you’re told. Investigate. Ask questions. Look for facts—from more than one place. Question what you see, & see what happens. You’ll see things that you’d never see otherwise. And you’ll be leading with evidence—not fear or outrage.

This picture shows the steel girders for the new Bridge Street Bridge in downtown Gardiner. In October, this structure will be moved upstream to its final location using an accelerated bridge replacement technique called a lateral slide.
