Conservatism succumbed to fascism as easily and rapidly as conservatives long (and inaccurately) warned liberalism would succumb to communism.
the complete collapse of conservatism as an ideological formation in the west feels like it should probably be more remarked on.

Trump’s Commerce Secretary just said seniors shouldn’t “call and complain” if they stop getting their Social Security checks: “A fraudster always makes the loudest noise screaming and complaining.”

issue with “hire more conservative professors” is that they don’t mean “hire a smart guy who happens to think taxes should be lower”, they mean “hire a movement conservative”, and these days there are multiple litmus tests for being that type of person that are “insist this false thing is true”

This is morally indefensible and strategically bankrupt. It’s just letting people die on purpose and it makes us weaker in every way.

Hey everyone. It’s Feb 3rd, and the Democrats have been at home since Jan 24th because the house is out of session.
They should have come back, the place is on fire.

It's a super stressful time because a lot of what Trump is doing makes the world way more chaotic and dangerous, which is already becoming more chaotic and dangerous because of climate change.
A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting.
Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

I assume most people know this, but seems important to point out basic truths at this moment in time. There is no energy emergency in the U.S. The U.S. is the world's top producer of oil and gas at the moment, and the top exporter of gas, and U.S. oil and gas producers are making record profits.

The fact that this has to happen at all is a blistering warning of the massive threat posed to #science by the GOP and Trump.
