Dear Bluesky Community...
There is a suspicious vehicle (read: maybe a bounty hunter working with #ICE?) with out-of-state plates watching in an immigrant community in Flemington NJ for hours. He told our police he's a private investigator. Anyone recognize it?

Took this last night in High Bridge NJ (facing North). Not much but seems like we're getting something of the glow of the extended Northern aurora maybe?

I think the real news here is that, based on emissions, China's actual economic growth may be flatlining to 0% or dipping negative
This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
