Thousands of farm animals & livestock are going unattended. They aren’t being milked. They aren’t being fed. I feel a great deal more for those animals than for the farmers who voted for this shit. They KNEW who their workers were & where they came from. But they voted to hurt them anyway.
Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
Unreal.
What a shameful country we have built in that middle schoolers are lauded for saving their peers from bullets because their elected officials won’t
EU climate boss @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu warns the Gulf Stream could collapse in our lifetime He says "progress takes time" – well, it also takes serious political will The EU Commission’s planned climate target for 2040 falls short of what its own climate scientists advise – that doesn't help
Merino sheep show improved wool quality under solar arrays
Trump just halted a nearly completed wind project that was set to power 350K homes at a stable rate for 20 years. Over 1,000 jobs—gone. Electric bills—up. All to protect Big Oil. This isn’t "national security." It’s political sabotage. They'd rather destroy our future than build a better one.
I wish we could all just universally agree not to use the Holocaust as an opportunity for fun thought experiments but I realize that’s too much to ask.
Considering I spent a good chunk of time this morning testing out new pen nibs and ink combinations for my daily journaling, no. Handwriting will not die.
This is just so wrong, so crazy (the wealth hoarding, not your facts).
My little orange cat is attacking my German Shepherd — does that count as a war? That could boost his numbers.
And the “pre-wars” ! That’s, that’s not really a thing?
But “he has spoken”’so now Intel has to comply.
Boycott the American World Cup and Olympics.
New — I wrote about the violent assault on a DC delivery worker this morning by masked federal agents, and how these agents have made the disturbing turn from quiet thugs to playing for the cameras.

If US Latinos were a country, we’d have the fifth largest GDP in the world, bigger than the 🇬🇧 or 🇫🇷. And we’re the fastest growing business demo in the country with 5 million businesses generating over $800 billion in annual revenue. In other words: Eradicating Latinos would cripple the US economy.
This is what fascism looks like.
Doesn’t matter. We won’t get the $200M back.
Your 'moment of neo-fascist kakistocracy' for today ~ 50 miles from here. "Clips of the early morning raid by Home Depot in the Westlake neighborhood, near MacArthur Park, showed masked, heavily armed officers jumping out of a yellow truck from Penske, a private rental company, and people fleeing."
The Trump Administration just issued a new order trying to kill solar and wind because they allegedly use too much land. But somehow this new fervor for "capacity density" won't apply to ethanol, which uses 100X as much land as solar per unit of energy. www.eenews.net/articles/ano...
This is really important. More important than almost everything elected leaders and media spend time on. “Water is life” isn’t just a slogan: it’s the truth. Please forward this to your elected officials: print & mail it, or email them, or tag them, or ask about it when you see them. #waterislife
How? How does he think tariffs work? It’s just mind boggling.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Two games does not make a turnaround. Devers needs to stay hot, and all the bats need to show up when Verlander takes the mound.
What could possibly go wrong?
Yeah, but we did the hearings thing over Jan 6. We all thought the evidence was damning. Nothing happened.
For $5/month or $60/yr you get access to PBS Passport and the entire Masterpiece library plus Great Performances, etc. Defunded but not defeated. www.pbs.org/passport/lea...
We can only hope.
Hmm, now why would you go to the trouble of adding a huge extension to a house you’re only going to live in 3.5 more years? Oh, you’re planning to stay longer than that?
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) will shut down after losing federal funding due to a $9 billion cut by the Republican-controlled House. Created in 1967, it distributed funds to NPR, PBS, and over 1,500 local stations. This does not make America great in any way. 🤬
Thou shalt not get people fired because they tell the truth.
I’m no expert, but this math is not mathing.
I could not have raised my kids without PBS. (Cooking shows and Bob the Builder, Dora the Explorer, Nature, Nova, and the PBS Newshour). Thank you, @kqednews.kqed.org
Am literally saving every grocery receipt and comparing like items month to month. I KNOW prices are rising.
They said they intend to repeal the 20th century and they meant the 19th too
That’s what you call “broadcasters trying to fill air time until their stats guy feeds them an answer”.
NO!!! Not Yaz!!!

Who says telephone conversations are dead? My best friend Potential Spam calls me every day!
This past week, the 79-year-old president announced he’s ended six wars (some that have been going on for centuries), asserted that windmills drive whales insane, called for Beyoncé to be prosecuted, claimed Obama committed treason and complained a convicted pedophile “stole” teenage girls from him.
Oh joy. ☹️
Due to mass confusion, clarifying again: Tsunami Watch: Tsunami of indeterminate magnitude is possible; stand by. Tsunami Advisory: Tsunami is likely *but will probably be small.* Evacuations unlikely. Tsunami Warning: Tsunami is likely *and may be large.* Evacuations needed.
Everything we've made will break, buildings and streets will crumble, and cities will be abandoned. But the CO₂ we emit into the atmosphere will persist for centuries, and the climatic impacts will last longer than human civilization has existed. This is our legacy for the future.

🌡️ A new Science paper reports 2023 saw record‐breaking #ΜarineΗeatwaves — 96% of the oceans were affected, heatwaves lasted 4× longer than average, and some regions stayed hot for over 500 days. It may mark a climate #TippingPoint. #MarineEcology #Conservation 🌍🌐🧪🌊 www.science.org/doi/full/10....
This man is absolute evil.
There is no net zero without seriously overhauling how we grow, move, eat and waste food, or how we use and misuse land.
The International Court of Justice, the highest court of the United Nations, has unanimously ruled that all humans have “the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment.” eos.org/research-and...

Take a long hard look at this graphic. The end of coral reefs has begun. According to the UNEP we are 97% certain to cross 2°C. This is likely to happen in the next 15-20 years. What the fuck have we done. bsky.app/profile/une... #ClimateCrisis
Climate change is expected to cause a 26.4% increase in US flood damage risk by 2050.
It’s a good day to remember what we were once capable of, and why it’s a really bad idea to abandon science.
On the contrary, it’s just a plot to garner sympathy from his “base”. He’s despicable.
Sad news. Such a beautiful woman with an amazing voice.

GOP lawmakers are trying again to exclude millions of non-U.S. citizens living in the states from census counts that the 14th Amendment says must include the "whole number of persons in each state."
To pretend Republicans are serious about addressing the debt is laughable—and America should laugh! You could cut the equivalent of what Trump is currently asking for in DOGE cuts every single day, for an entire year, and it still would not match the cost of the Big Ugly bill!
A worker was killed. Dozens detained. Dr. Jonathan Caravello, A CSU faculty member and US citizen, was brutalized & disappeared by ICE for observing. Trump’s ICE thugs are escalating terror in our communities. Release them ALL. seiuca.org/press-releas...
“Humperdinck. Humperdinck Humperdinck Humperdinck”
Jeez, the man is hysterical. (And I don’t mean “ha ha funny hysterical.”)
The same people who deny that releasing 40+ billion tonnes of chemicals annually into the atmosphere changes our climate think that an airplane spraying a few tonnes of chemicals into the atmosphere definitely does. I want the world to be less stupid, as well as less evil.
I don’t recognize this country any more. 😢
How can we prosecute when they are wearing masks? No way to identify them. They learned from Jan 6.
@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov please look into this IMMEDIATELY

Wow. Mighty nice of Toyota to kick in more than half a million dollars to help the people of Texas, after taking $40 million of tax payer subsidies ten years ago to move there.

I just want to express my appreciation for whomever wrote that USGS page. The language is clear, concise, not alarmist and not overly technical. We need more great science communication like this to inform people without causing alarm or being over-dramatic just for clicks.
If churches are allowed to endorse political candidates, then they must also pay taxes.
Breaking: per FEMA sources Kristi Noem was responsible for THREE DAY DELAY in deploying search-and-rescue in Texas Fire her. Blood on her hands.
If you insist we wait until after they have killed 6 million to call them Nazis you have missed the point of the lesson: we are supposed to call them out and stop them before the mass killing starts.
You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.
That looks terrifying
*out loud (edit feature, please!)
My kids and I used to read it out load every July 4th while waiting for the parade to start. Sure as hell don’t feel like doing that tomorrow.
Do these people listen to themselves?
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
I'm soaking it all up. All the celebrating. The victory lapping. The high-fiving. The dancing. All the Republicans crowing that they "won," when all they did was give billionaires a tax break at the expense of poor people's Medicaid and food assistance. They are applauding pain. REMEMBER THIS.
We must call this what it is. The Republican party is fascist and racist. We must stop just blaming this on Trump. The Republicans stole from us to give tax breaks to billionaires. These are Republican concentration camps.
Then I will jump in. Or rather, Estee will. She’s still tired from Saturday’s nap session. #Caturday everyday
Stay strong!
While congressional leaders may gaslight the public about the bill's true cost, nearly every independent, nonpartisan expert knows better.
