The fossil fuel industry is behind most of the climate disinformation you see and hear today.

Charlie Kirk was no exception.
Charlie Kirk's extremism was fossil fueled
Big Oil's money gave Kirk a larger platform to spread baseless climate conspiracy theories—as well as other extremist views.

The thing about lying is that it snowballs quickly. So, when you’re trying to lie to an entire nation, there’s infinite ground you have to cover. It is simply not possible to not get caught. The Trump regime is wrapped in its own web of lies, one it will keep tripping over until it’s stuck for good.

UC Berkeley gives the Trump admin the names of 160 faculty + students for a federal investigation into “alleged antisemitic incidents.”

Judith Butler, one of the targeted scholars, tells me: "It is an enormous breach of trust... It's shocking. Did you consider not complying with this request?”

He's right, and it's not just Brazil.

Around the world, at least 31 democratic leaders who committed similar crimes have been jailed or banned from office since 2010. The failure to hold Trump accountable in the US was a unique and systemic failure of our institutions and political culture.

Slavery, racism, and capitalism have always been inextricably connected.
Slavery in the U.S. didn't disappear with the 13th Amendment. Southern states passed Black Codes & vagrancy laws to re-enslave freed Black Americans.

The Bracero Program (Mexican laborers brought to the U.S. btwn 1942–1964), laid the groundwork for today’s guestworker systems, H-2A and H-2B visas.

Believe it or not, the usual suspects are trying to sell the little blip at the end of the Antarctic ice loss curve (due to a few strong snowfall events in East Antarctica) as proof that "global warming is a hoax".
It shows once again that "climate skeptics" don't have honest arguments.

HUGELY Important.
While Mike Lee and Steve Daines' Senate Natural Resources Committee amendment to the budget reconciliation package mandates the sale of up to 3.3 million acres of public land, what most people miss is that it also authorizes the sale of 258 million acres. That's 40 percent of all public land:

My ongoing request:

If your NSF or NIH grant was terminated--whether at Harvard or elsewhere--please report it here.

NSF: grant-watch.us/submit-nsf.h...

NIH: grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h...

Our trackers are actively used in lawsuits and are often the only record that terminations ever occurred.
NSF appears to be terminating hundreds of its grants to Harvard, per internal sources at NSF and at Harvard. At least one division has had all its grants cut.

It’s me, hi, I’m the PI, it’s me 😭
Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.

Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. 2/3

The Atlantic recirculated an article about how Trump Americans and the rest of us are talking past each other. In response, one man wrote a much like to reply, in which he gave the advice to hang in there and hydrate. I had to think that that was the most cis white male response I could imagine.

She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.

This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.
