Things are really not good around the North Pole. Anomalous warmth continues, alongside record low #Arctic sea ice conditions. Nearly every time I check the data, there seems to be yet another new record this fall.

Dems rely on people forgetting or not paying attention to how horrible they are.
WELKER: Massie and Khanna say they are looking at options including impeachment and contempt for DOJ officials. Would you support those steps?

You’d be hard pressed to find a more positive, solutions oriented climate campaigner than Mike Hudema.

This is his latest post.

Scientists, activists, climate journalists have a new posture lately that resembles something like desperation.

Mainstream news is killing us.

In signs for those waiting on lift lines, the ski monopoly today effectively bragged about how much it’s deciding to price gouge everyone as compared to what it charged in the 1960s.

$4 in 1961 is $43 in today’s money, or about 25% of the price of the same lift ticket today.

This was one of the most oft-quoted jokes in our film. It was supposed to be a cautionary tale. It most definitely was not supposed to be a guidebook for a Matt Yglesias screed published and boosted by the New York Times.

Less than 24 hours after Trump announced he’s dismantling the nation’s climate science agency, the New York Times opinion page this morning blasted out this Matt Yglesias screed to millions of its liberal readers.

That’s one hell of an editorial choice.

🚨BREAKING: Trump is waiving remaining fines against Southwest for its holiday meltdown — and he’s shut down the government suit against the airline for “chronically delayed flights.”

The announcement came from the Transportation Dept, now run by former airline lobbyist Sean Duffy.

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies.

Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.

This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

I know a lot of footage and commentary is swirling about today but it’s important to convey that the people who gathered outside that ICE garage in lower Manhattan were *so* ten toes down focused.

This person who gets maced and just calmly flips the bird & keeps going is *quintessential.*
