@climate.us I’m not a fundraising expert, but I would suggest you create accounts on both Act Blue and Win Red if possible. Yes they are partisan, but they are trusted by Dems and Reps respectively and if you’re on both you are not playing one side or the other.

“This is information that the taxpayers have already paid for,” said Lindsey. “This administration is trying to hide it and take it away from us. It’s an abuse of government. It’s a waste of resources. People should be indignant.” climate.us www.theguardian.com/environment/...
How much IQ did the typical anti-vaxxer lose?
Those who had mild COVID-19 had a 3-point IQ decline. Those with unresolved persistent symptoms, had a 6-point loss in IQ. Those who had been admitted to the ICU for COVID-19 had a 9-point loss in IQ. Reinfection resulted in another 2-point loss in IQ. theconversation.com/mounting-res...
You may be right. The problem is once the AMOC tipping point is crossed it will be too late.
Trump’s betrayal of a spending bill is going to devastate rural Nevada’s health care system and Joe Lombardo’s just going along to get along.
And GHGs in the atmosphere. Goodbye
Doesn’t matter if you are looking to buy now there’s an EV for you.
That means there is a new or used EV or Plug-in Hybrid for every style or budget.
Car makers w/ EVs or Plug-In Hybrids include Alfa Romeo, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ferrari, Ford, Genesis, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln, Lucid, Mazda, McLaren, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Mitsubishi, Polestar, Porsche, Rivian, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota & Volvo.
That means about 1/3 of BlueSky users are planning to buy a new car.
Approximately 37% of Americans were in the market for a new vehicle as of early 2024, according to a Kantar report cited by Marketing Charts. This figure represents those actively looking to purchase a vehicle, & while it doesn't provide a direct projection, it offers a snapshot of current demand.
"These show the tipping point that makes an AMOC shutdown inevitable is likely to be passed within a few decades, but that the collapse itself may not happen until 50 to 100 years later."
If carbon emissions continued to rise, 70% of the model runs led to collapse, while an intermediate level of emissions resulted in collapse in 37% of the models. Even in the case of low future emissions, an AMOC shutdown happened in 25% of the models. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Joe Lombardo prioritized $25 million for new office furniture. But he vetoed guaranteed meals for Nevada’s students. He is deeply out of touch with hardworking families. When I’m Governor, we’re going to feed our students.
Not exactly a dead drop (a method of espionage tradecraft used to pass items or information between two individuals via a secret location), but Putin appears to have given Trump the orders in Alaska. www.aol.com/gabbard-abru...
Monthly grocery bills are climbing beyond what families can afford. Between Trump’s chaotic tariffs and GOP cuts to food assistance, prices will keep rising and thousands of grocery stores could soon close their doors. Trump promised cheaper prices instead families are paying more.

Stop Trump from rigging elections. Support Prop 50, volunteer to help the campaign.
Donald Trump can't win the 2026 midterms fair and square - so he's trying to cheat by calling up his cronies in red states and asking for seats. California: YOU have the power to stop him. Vote YES on Prop 50 to defend fair elections and STOP Trump's election rigging.

In March, Joe Lombardo called my lawsuits against Trump “unfortunate”. Well, one of those lawsuits just restored funding for Nevada’s public schools. Lombardo can’t stand up to Trump. But I will. And I deliver results.

Thank you to those at the Shepherds Breakfast for the outpouring of support — for my gubernatorial campaign and for the broader movement we’re building. Not even COVID will keep me from talking to Nevada voters.
"It’s getting hotter, longer, more humid and more dangerous. Yet averages elide a complex reality: The country’s experience of hotter summers — and thus one of the most visceral aspects of climate change itself — is fractured along geographic lines." More on the Central U.S. warming hole ⬇️
"The average U.S. wedding generates roughly 56 tons of carbon pollution. That’s over three times the amount the average American produces in a year and almost nine times more than the global average per person". It doesn't have to be that way... #ClimateSky

The Lombardo-Trump economy isn’t working for working-class Nevadans. When billionaires get permanent tax cuts while tipped workers only get temporary relief — that’s an economy that is rigged against folks working their hardest to stay afloat.

As Senate Majority Leader, I worked across the aisle to fund affordable housing projects for veterans. As Governor, I’ll continue to work with Democrats and Republicans to build more affordable housing and lower housing costs.
The journal Nature ids how “abrupt changes,” like the loss of sea ice over the last decade, are unfolding in Antarctica & its surrounding waters, reinforcing one another & threatening to send the continent past the point of no return — and flood coastal cities everywhere." grist.org/climate/anta...

Residents of the western United States have been sweltering in a heatwave that hospitalized some people, with temperatures hitting dangerous levels throughout the weekend in Washington, Oregon, southern California, Nevada and Arizona. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Back home in Nevada, Joe Lombardo caved to far-right, anti-abortion extremists and vetoed protections for IVF. Lombardo is Trump’s man on the ground.
As Attorney General, I’ve gone after human traffickers and battled fentanyl being trafficked across our borders. Public safety and protecting Nevadans is my top priority as Attorney General. I will continue that work as Governor.
Under Joe Lombardo, Nevada had the highest unemployment rate in the nation for the first half of 2025. Unemployment is higher today than it was when Lombardo took office in ‘23.
While Joe Lombardo supports Donald Trump dismantling the Dept. of Education, and with it the nearly $1B Nevada receives every year — I sued President Trump to keep that investment in our state. As Governor, I will continue fighting for Nevada’s students and educators.
Last year, Clark County had a record 47,000 evictions — up from 30,000 the previous year. Our housing crisis is getting worse on Joe Lombardo’s watch, not better.

“We want to feel like someone is standing on the frontlines ready to go to battle for us,” Olivia Julianna, a 22-year-old Democratic activist from Texas and social media influencer said. “And that’s what it feels like Gavin Newsom is doing.”
“We’re fighting fire with fire,” Newsom said on The Siren podcast. “And we’re going to punch these sons of bitches in the mouth.” His team promoted the interview to his legions of new followers & supporters replied w/ MAGAesque AI images of Newsom as a superhero. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
“This is a story of corruption, plain and simple. Trump has sold our country out to big oil and gas corporations,” Senator Chris Murphy added. “I will work with my colleagues and Governor Lamont to pursue all legal paths to get this project back on track.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Subtle sarcasm? Unfortunately, the casual climate concerned need to be hit with a big stick.

“Gössling’s studies put numbers on the carbon footprint of tourism (8.8% of planet-heating pollution), the inequality in aviation emissions (only 2-4% of people fly abroad a year), and 1% of the world pop. are responsible for half the emissions from air travel.” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I authored legislation that would have made price-fixing on essential goods like rent and groceries illegal. Joe Lombardo vetoed it.
Not your neighborhood, but there are EVs at every price point. You could probably get a deal on a used Tesla! www.capitalfordonline.com/auto/*/KM8HC...
“The good news is that 10 - 15 years ago sea ice loss was accelerating, some suggested an ice-free Arctic before 2020. But now the variability has switched to largely cancelling out sea ice loss. But, it is a temporary reprieve–when it ends, it isn’t good news.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Do you take public transit or drive an EV/Plugin Hybrid?
Countries, like people, want someone else to magically fix the climate. “Next year” will be too late. “Only 28 countries have submitted carbon-cutting proposals to the UN, w/ some of the biggest GHG emitters, including China and the EU, still to produce plans.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Unfortunately true. Humans are selfish. Everyone needs to take personal responsibility and stop waiting for others to take the first step.
No we don’t - time to stop waiting for someone else to fix the problem. Step up to the plate personally and the tell your family and friends to do the same.

Slogans and catch phrases aside. Sanders and Mamdami are both Democratic Socialists, why do you think they ran as Democrats for President and Mayor respectively?
Until we retool & update the entire constitution (which I would agree we should, but also know will not happen in our lifetime) the only way to get rid of the MAGA Nazis is to vote Democratic. Like Bernie Sanders for Pres & Zohran Mamdani for Mayor, both Democratic Socialists running as Dems.
“7th gen farmer Brian Harbage grows corn, soybeans & grass, & runs a cattle operation across five counties in western Ohio. The past 2 years have been immensely challenging amid the twin threats of climate crisis & Trump tariffs.” He probably voted for Trump. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Donald Trump, if you will not stand down, California will be forced to lead an effort to redraw our maps to offset the rigging of maps in red states. If the other states call off their redistricting efforts, we will do the same. And American democracy will be better for it.
