You can see why the Greens popularity is growing. @zackpolanski.bsky.social gives straight answers to questions even ones that are loaded with danger. I think it called courage in your beliefs and telling the truth, both commodities very rare in politics, even more so in recent years.

Just spent nearly two hours in a line of cars to drop food off for families losing their SNAP benefits. Right now is a literal nightmare but it is incredible to see communities coming together. Everyone understands that the only ones to save us is us.

Should I offset my flight?
Airlines are quick to claim that you can ‘fly carbon neutral’ if you just pay a little bit for an offset. But is that really the case?

The thing about solar geoengineering is that once you start you cannot stop *ever* unless somehow you have already removed all the multi-billions of tons of carbon emitted since the day you started.
If you stop at the higher CO2 concentration you get virtually instantaneous catastrophic heating.

On the day it happens, and it will, the executive power provisions within the Communications Act of 1934 and the National Emergencies Act of 1976 will allow him to kill switch the US internet. He will. Plan for that now, because it includes your US-based cloud storage and hosted SAAS applications.
It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.
