Carl Sagan warned of the double standard: trillions for war on unlikely threats, nothing for climate. We’ve spent $8T+ on the War on Terror, lost trillions to tax cuts, yet claim we “can’t afford” survival. It’s not a capacity crisis. It’s a will crisis. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/1Aoe...

A judge in DC has ruled that the Trump administration has to stop violating public disclosure laws. This is about the administration's efforts to take over Congress' power of the purse & altho the opinion is 60 pages, what the judge has to say is worth your time. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Trump is closing all four climate observatory stations in Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, and Antartica. Because you can't have high CO2 levels if you don't *measure* CO2 levels.

After Rümeysa Öztürk wrote an op-ed about Palestinians in Gaza, masked, plainclothes ICE agents grabbed her off the street. No one knew who they were or if it was even a real arrest. In a democracy, that shouldn’t happen. And we can’t let it become the new normal.
