Let's be absolutely clear what's up for grabs
We can no longer dodge climate catastrophe
A Pliocene climate (3C hotter, sea levels 20m higher) is now certain
We are now fighting to stop a return to the Middle Miocene: 7-8C hotter than PI, sea levels up to 50m higher

"Companies were reluctant to pass price hikes into stores, because they didn't want to make customers mad and lose market share. It's only now really sinking in that this is for real, and so the 'let's eat the tariffs for a while' thing is fading out." — @pkrugman.bsky.social

You will not see a more tangible encapsulation of the genocide. A war of utter annihilation waged as a joint enterprise between the Israeli state on the ground and its allies in consistent support. The debt of reparations that the West owes to the Palestinian people at this point is incalculable.
This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

Elon Musk is not finding “waste and abuse”. He is simply slashing regulations and firing regulators that keep you safe, just so he can add a few more zeros to his bank account.

Here we go. The Trump administration is brazenly ignoring a court order. We’re no longer a nation of laws.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”
There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Dan Bongino, a Right-Wing Commentator, Is Named FBI Deputy Director
The choice of Dan Bongino is a radical departure from the bureau’s history of having a veteran agent serve in the key role that oversees operations.
