Question for everyone in the #USA:
If an enemy state controlled the President, and wanted to completely destroy America - turn you against each other, set state against state, wreck your economy, cut you off from allies, bog you down in forever wars...
...what, exactly, would they do differently?

🗃️ Time to rewrite immigration history with Native history in mind. The US was founded on the conquest, dispossession, removal, exploitation, or genocide of Native people. Denial of that fact generated counter-myths: empty land, waste land, Manifest Destiny—and the slogan “nation of immigrants.” 🧵1/7

Appreciation post for Dr G, who seems to be carrying most of the weight of "yo, maybe we should still try to reduce fossil fuels" and "yo, maybe it's urgent to do that" on her back
Just a few things I'd like to say about this @hausfath.bsky.social piece.
The first is that every 10th of a degree of heating over 2C raises risks for multiple irreversible catastrophes MORE than every 10th of a degree of heating under 2C.
That's why the 2C target exists. It's not random.

Anyway, if we were actually a serious country, all of our institutions, both in and out of government, would stop treating This One Special Boy as if he alone is not subject to the norms, laws, & Constitution of the Republic.
One reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is because every societal institution, including the media, has completely normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.

2025 goes down as the ~3rd-warmest year on record (based on ERA5).
Like in 2024, every single day this past year was warmer than the average of even the most recent reference period (1991-2020).

That’s right, Congress. Keep letting him do anything he wants, unchecked. Keep showing the country (and the world) what total feckless pussies you are. Well done.

One month ago, Trump pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández from a 45-year sentence for drug trafficking and weapons charges. The Trump administration doesn’t care about drugs or weapons, despite what it currently says about Venezuela’s Maduro.

Dovetails with his view of the U.S. Treasury, which he treats as his personal piggy bank
Trump's threat to bomb Iran made something clear to me in a way I hadn't yet formulated: His conception of US military force, like his conception of the federal govt, is now entirely personalized. It is a power to be wielded not on behalf of US interests but on behalf of his personal whims.

'Tis the season of New Year's resolutions! But, if you, like me, are guessing that 2026 will be full of uncertainty and disruption I'd offer a slight twist. Think about how, in the year to come, you can invest in your coping capacity.
