Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.
Chump's whole Family are Cheaters and LOSERS,who Grifted Their way to (mis)fortune.......
Gas is losing global electricity generation market share! Why? Nations understand that gas price is volatile & can skyrocket to punishing levels, so they seek substitutes. Solar gains global generation market share. Petrostate politicos freak out! Credit @cleanpowerdave.bsky.social #energysky
Most of the labor rights that define America today- rights that under constant attack - are owed to Fanny Perkins, the first female cabinet member in US history and the architect behind the New Deal. open.substack.com/pub/rebekahj...

Many of those Rs seem afraid of DT. They shouldn't be. They are the ones with power of impeachment. And there are plenty of impeachable offenses to choose from.
If Republicans were patriotic, RFK would be fired on Tuesday, and Trump and all of his co-conspirators would be being impeached.
Do you think DT might understand this version better?🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Maybe the truth hurts? Not that DT and company would know...

I call bullshit.
California communities can reduce wildfire damage by half. Here’s how: Our new study "Fire risk to structures in California’s Wildland-Urban Interface" was published in Nature Communications today! www.nature.com/articles/s41... news.berkeley.edu/2025/08/28/c...

What rarely seems to be mentioned in these voter registration analyses is that nearly 50% of registered voters are not registered with either major party--and some states do not report registration. usafacts.org/articles/how...
Lots to digest in this thread on potential factors in effects of Ukraine's disruption of Russia's oil refining capability.⏬️
A glimmer of hope for green energy transition. The economics are on our side, I think.
What will be a bridge too far for Congress? This entire administration has to go. 2026 cannot come soon enough.
There is no possible legitimate reason to do this. It’s what despots do. It’s petty. It’s dangerous. It’s unAmerican. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
That, too, of course! Hand in hand with increased C stocks. Funny that I didn't think to mention it, as a 🔥 scientist!
EU countries look at peat bog restoration for double duty--keep Russian tanks from invading while increasing C sequestration. Love it!
We've made progress, but we need to make a lot more progress faster.
More of this, please Could every other living President jump on board!
BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey after Annunciation Catholic School shooting: “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying!” Stop paying for a f-cking minute and demand action by people and not just God.
I disagree. He, and his fellow Republicans, know damn well that their war on renewable energy and other cleantech harms their constituents. They are only doing it in order to help their funders, the fossil fuel industry and we need to try to make our electorate understand that about the GOP.
Look what ICE is up to these days. Isn't beating up protesters outside of their mission a bit?
I think Texas, Iowa, Oklahoma and a few other red farm states would disagree...
Does he not realize that most of those windmills are in red states and are helping farmers keep their financial heads above water??? Texas I believe produces more wind power than any other state, but it's also important in several other Midwestern states (like Iowa).
He's literally become Don Quixote.
And he broke what law? It's all perfomative. Just to intimidate the public from standing up.
Update: * He’s been charged with a felony * Initial spreadsheet of recent arrests lists officer’s badge as 12345 * @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social will be requesting body cam footage
Well, well--what a surprise! Maybe they could afford to pay a few more taxes?
CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
She was right all along… try and imagine how peaceful and pleasant it would be living in the USA if she was president
Welcome back, Jessica! Strange time to be a Fed. Glad I'm retired...and not restricted from political activity. Hope NASA earth science programs manage to weather the storm.
the thing I love about Zohran’s campaign is that instead of “this place fucking sucks and I alone can fix it” his message is “being a New Yorker rules, we live in the best city in the world, let’s make it even better together” show some damn pride in the places you want to govern

If DOJ has a strong criminal case against Abrego Garcia, they should welcome the chance to prove his guilt at trial. This offer of guilty plea or Uganda is coercive. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Unconscionable. This project should be completed as planned. We need that green energy. Hope there is a court case fed by now... seems like the only way to stop this idiotic administration.
They’re gonna create an energy crisis.
🌳New in IJWF Wong et al. show that heat yields in wet sclerophyll fuels vary widely by species and season—especially in live understorey fuels. Fixed values in fire models may overestimate fire intensity. 📄 doi.org/10.1071/WF24227 #IJWildlandFire
That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
Impeach

Don't like the language, but agree with the sentiment!
It's yet another distraction. Look! Over here!
And that's just the bankers.
Are we really cool with our government handing 12 Wall Street bankers $52 million with absolutely no idea what they'll do with it and a vague promise that it'll all trickle down eventually? Really?
What would they need weapons for?? Nothing legal, most likely.
🎉🙏Thanks for all you and your team are doing to push back against all the illegal and unethical actions of Trump and his minions.
🚨BREAKING: Federal Court BLOCKS implementation of Trump administration’s dangerous new rule that would strip health coverage from more than 2.2 million people, raise costs for working families, and undermine the Affordable Care Act’s core protections. A huge win for @democracyforward.org.
I haven't forgotten either-and won't. The suspicion is very strong that there is damning evidence re DT. Given the way files were handled by FBI and others, there are likely multiple unredacted versions out there. Maybe they'll mysteriously appear when the files from DOJ are grievously incomplete.
Too many people have forgotten about the Epstein Files. Donald Trump clearly hasn't and nor have I. My latest for Democracy Docket premium members explains this and all the news of the week. Join now! hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0
Gee, sounds like all all-round nice guy...
I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.
Tell Russia they can keep Crimea if they relinquish control of Donbas and other regions invaded in the current illegal war.
If I have to crawl over hot coals I will vote. I've never missed an election and I don't intend to start now. But I should not have to work at voting. It should be readily accessible to every registered voter.
Another giant step backward.
Both side-ism at its finest. Model projections of greenhouse gas (mostly CO2&methane) impacts on warming climate have been remarkably accurate. Even the once secret ones done by FF companies decades ago. Yes, plants initially benefit from CO2 "fertilization", but other factors become limiting.
Guess it's one time I'm glad to be in my 70s. What a really stupid policy.
Glad they are doing this! Zelensky should not have to go it alone. Trump will be facing a half dozen strong European leaders. He won't be able to stomp all over Zelensky, and maybe he'll actually pay attention to what they say. Russia has no business being in Ukraine.
Tomorrow President Zelenskyy won’t be alone. The EU is coming and so is NATO to back him up.

Again, and again. They lie.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Let's go. This is it. We need to wake up. We cannot survive if he rigs not just Texas, but he goes to Indiana, goes to Missouri, goes to Ohio, goes to Florida. We have to have other governors of like mind, and there are many, to now do something, not just say something."
And then the Russian group takes off for home earlier than planned? Hmmm...
HAPPENING NOW: Temporary restraining order hearing in DC v. Trump, a suit filed this morning over Trump's effort to takeover the DC police. Judge Ana Reyes just took the bench. I'm listening in for @lawfaremedia.org Follow along ⬇️
Trump wants voters to believe America is ungovernable, and that the only solution is an authoritarian like him taking over. The more chaos, lies, and misinformation he spreads, the more likely people are to tune out completely. Do not.
Fighting corruption isn’t about an individual scandal or president. It's about ending a system where the ultra-wealthy can buy influence and shut working people out. Congress must ban stock trading by members of Congress, get rid of corporate PAC money, and kick big money out of politics.

You know what would actually reduce crime and homelessness? Universal healthcare, free education, affordable housing and a basic living wage. When people have their most basic needs met, they have happier and healthier lives. Those hoarding the wealth don’t want to give us those things.
If he flies with one, dines with one and parties with one for years, he’s probably one himself.
Maybe because Breyer seems to be having fun needling them?
WTF is he talking about? "If got Moscow and Leningrad (St. Petersburg since 1991) free..."????
A one-in-a-million moment captured by Donnie Dania, West Virgin
Trump doesn't care about crime in D.C. — which is at a 30-year low. He's creating another fake "emergency" in an attempt to show force. If he actually cared about keeping the city safe, he wouldn't have stoked insurrectionists to attack the Capitol on Jan 6. Hello?
What a banal way of describing the march toward fascism.
Doesn’t deploy federal troops to stop a Capitol invasion or save children from a Texas flood or clean up debris from a StL tornado. Deployed federal troops to disperse people in sleeping bags. Got it.

When we talk about authoritarian oligarchs, Putin is the model. He is worth some $200 billion, kills dissidents and rigs elections. And he started this horrific war in Ukraine. We all want peace. But any peace talks must include the Ukrainians. It’s their country.
Part of why I'm pretty much down to MSNBC, PBS, and Substack for news and analysis.
Every news broadcast should run the facts split-screen in real time while Trump spews his lies. Nice work, @msnbc.com — every network had time to prepare because they knew what was coming.

Well, even if they have been reduced, US methane emissions are inexcusably HUGE! (Note that the graph just shows one year's data)
