Carbon capture actually makes me angrier than almost anything in climate policy. It’s been 50 years of wildly expensive pilot projects—and a major project still hasn’t delivered on promised emissions reductions. Not once.
But sure, it’s a “common sense” solution. 🙃

Most major carbon capture and storage projects haven't met targets
The majority of 13 flagship CCS schemes worldwide, representing 55 per cent of captured carbon dioxide, have either failed entirely or captured much less CO2 than expected

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

The first group of immigrants has arrived at a new “camp” deep in the Florida Everglades, where officials are openly describing it as “concentrating” certain people in one area. Have you seen the photos of the flooding? This entire site is a human rights violation.

I say this with 100% earnestness: The destruction of American science and provoking Canada and other allies only make sense if someone is working for Russia.

It's true and we should say it.
Describe good virtues as American. Call bad things Un-American. Not reinforcing it is how we let them get redefined.

"DEI" is not a bad word. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamentally American – a reflection of who we actually are.
After centuries of erasure, we've seen progress in representation in recent years, and I don’t want to go back.

The very first paragraph of Bondi's memorandum says "the solution is... to root out and eliminate the underlying condition". Even when they're trying to sound like high-minded professionals they instantly revert to outright Nazi rhetoric.

simply because their research didn’t align with the administration’s narrative. Let that sink in: the federal government is pressuring a medical journal over what it’s allowed to publish. This isn’t about science or national security, it’s about control. It’s about silencing dissent.

A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.

As a biologist, I'm appalled at pride the White House takes in willful ignorance.
In yesterday's executive order about NPR and PBS, their first example of "the trash that passes for `news' at NPR and PBS" is the statement that "banana slugs are hermaphrodites."
But this is unequivocal fact.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.
Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.
