It's been quite something to see one of the world's leading climate scientists, James Hansen, being vilified the past years for presenting data showing the rapid acceleration of global and regional warming, associated with continued greenhouse gas emissions and rapid reduction of air pollution.

Denaturalization,forced statelessness and mass murder are all inextricably linked under fascism and we are seeing that constellation solidify across the west not just America.
America is one part of the massive reordering of the world the fascists and their wealthy friends are attempting to initiate

This is a brilliant for of protest and can and should be adapted to many other uses. This is really really smart protest.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

It’s still so strange to me Canadian resist accounts show up to yell at me about Americas fascism issue while claiming they do not have a massive issue at home.

Fascism is swamping all western democracy’s using neoliberal candidates to crack the systems open for literal Nazis to fill the void.

Just a heads up from the academic side of countering fascism and authoritarianism:when a fascist dictatorship is actively using police and federal forces to intimidate those telling the military not to follow illegal orders and claiming that is treason, you are only inches away from massive violence
Abuse of power extending beyond Senator Kelly

"FBI has requested interviews with six Democratic U.S. lawmakers."

DOJ official "said the interviews were to determine 'if there's any wrongdoing and then go from there.'"

anyone claiming DOGE was a failure or that it was not effective is lying to your face and trying to build an narrative, not being honest. Doge exceeded all expectations for exactly what it was designed to do which is destroy the bureaucratic state and capture trillions of dollars in data.

It's very funny ppl think Trump, Hegseth, Bovino, individual ICE / federal pigs etc. will ever be held accountable. There'll be no jail time or Nuremberg-style tribunals as long as the system remains intact.

It is only possible thru revolutionary upheaval. Not happening in a return to status quo.

As projected here www.nature.com/articles/s41... we are steadily moving toward a situation where are major town or city runs out of water

There are early signs of this everywhere, right now Iran seems to be a hotspot at ~1.5ºC of heating

We are *utterly* unprepared for what comes at 1.6, 1.7 & 2ºC

We are an incredible species - at the same time that our intellectual scientists know how extremely dire the situation is, they’re also exceptionally stupid in assuming being honest with everyone will scare us so much that we will all give up.

Except the evidence shows the opposite.

This is an incredibly important graph and post which a large part of the climate science community is intentionally ignoring and trying to hide.

Our climate is in a much more dangerous state than main stream climate scientists are willing to acknowledge.
