The ones boasting of peace are the ones responsible for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The world must hold all those accountable for the horrors witnessed and war crimes committed over the past two years.

The veterinarian in Iran is being so adorably gentle with this grouchy cat.

He’s saying, “will you give me permission to listen to your heart?”

And then he jokingly curses the stethoscope after the cat rejects it.

I said it before, and I'm sure I will say it again:

If the moral arc of the universe is going to bend towards Justice, somebody has got to bend it that way. That somebody is ALL OF US pushing just a little in what ways that we uniquely can. We are not separate from the universe. We are its hands.

A professor of environmental sciences gives a quick punchy take on the "eye-popping" numbers re. how clean air promotes economic growth.

An EPA analysis of 20 years of the Clean Air Act (1970-90) found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42X greater than the costs.

No pay wall.
America’s clean air rules boost health and the economy − here’s what EPA’s new deregulation plans ignore
Clean air has become one of America’s best investments, returning $10 for every $1 spent on regulations, by one estimate.

Tucked inside many of the orders are homework assignments for the Trump administration with hard deadlines. We'll be keeping track.
Trump’s Executive Orders Are Full of Deadlines. We’re Tracking Them.
The orders require drafting strategies to enforce the gender binary (within 30 days) and meetings on fighting DEI and environmental justice (monthly).

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.

The 1.5° Celsius temp rise target didn't hit for me until I realized that if a person's temperature rose by that much they would have a fever and probably feel quite ill: sweating where you should be dry, dry where you should be moist, Etc

This has happened on a planetary scale due to our actions.

Gentle reminder that Trump is not president yet. Everything happening right now is still under the better party this system has to offer.

What are they doing for the disasters unfolding now, or to protect us against what's coming? Less than nothing. They're giggling at funerals together.
