The Sierra Club National Marine Team presents:
The Science, Policy, and Cultural Implications of Deep Sea Mining

This is going to be a great talk. Any chance to sit down with Uncle Sol is an opportunity I wouldn't miss. @arlohemphill.bsky.social is cool, too.

The radical leftists and antifa protesting this weekend have a “No Kings” flag they’ll be waving. I’m posting it here so you can identify them and stay safe.

The reason MAGA thinks Bad Bunny isn’t an American isn’t because of ignorance of Puerto Rico. It’s because they saw the headlines when he chose not to tour in the U.S. & immediately assumed he’s protecting himself. They can’t comprehend the idea of someone giving up $ to protect others.

You might be able to hide behind the need for rule of law when it comes to undocumented migrants, but Kristi Noem going after Bad Bunny is blatant racism. What business is it of hers? He’s a talented, law-abiding citizen, and one of biggest talents of our time.

These days feel like the early part of the Lord of the Rings, when all that was good in the world began to fade away. Have hope that Frodo did eventually destroy the ring.

Late afternoon today we reached 60 ratifications for the Global Ocean Treaty. It will now enter into force - the formal law of the world’s high seas to protect biodiversity and pave the way towards a global network of ocean sanctuaries. Such an amazing win in an otherwise shadowy time!

If you believed MAGA Media, America is plagued by anti-gun, anti-free speech trans people who also are expert sharp shooters with free speech they want heard.
Do you all realize how ridiculous you sound?

Why do people keep saying that the U.S. military strike on a Venezuelan boat occurred in “international waters”? There are no international waters anywhere near Venezuela. Trump did this (if in fact that narrative is true) in sovereign waters of a Caribbean state, possibly even Venezuela itself.

🛑 Say NO to mining our vital oceans! NOAA is proposing new regulations that would fast-track seabed mining permits for U.S. companies — a reckless move that puts our deep sea at risk of corporate exploitation.

As an undergrad I spent two full summers in the country of Antigua and Barbuda. Each time I got back and had to drive up the commercialized I-95 corridor from Miami to West Palm Beach I would sob uncontrollably. I didn’t know why then. I know why now.
