Rest in power and peace @janegoodallcan.bsky.social

I had the honor to first meet her at @anv-cop21.org in @france24.com

What a force for something so lacking today ... observation, reflection and communication.

This would be a great term, "Trumpanzee",
... but it does a huge disservice to our genetic relatives among the great apes.

As usual, @rbreich.bsky.social is spot on the greed at the top.

But is is only half the story. The depressingly accurate work by @gabrielzucman.bsky.social and Emmanuel Saez highlights how the ultra-rich now pay lower taxes than the poor.

Several people have asked for the earlier paper (2 decades ago!) with @natehultman.bsky.social & @jgkoomey.mastodon.energy.ap.brid.gy at @atap.lbl.gov and @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social on nuclear costs in the US. The key figure is fellow.

And let’s not forget how anti-American are the core actions of @HR1 - the Big Bastardized Bill of greed, @rbreich.bsky.social

#TexasFloods are awful, but there is no doubt that events like this massive marine heat wave are human-caused.

Votes for HR1 must be remembered as willful acts destroying the future of their own kids.
