“I believe that we are marching steadily towards an uninsurable future in the United States and across the globe because we’re not doing enough, fast enough to transition from fossil fuels and other greenhouse gas emitters”
There is “no question” that the insurance sector’s own investment in and insurance of fossil fuels is "contributing to our inability to transition," and is bringing about its own demise. 🎯

A reminder that Canada Post workers wanted to do rotating strikes, so mail could still be delivered.
The corporation then locked them out.
Our government needs to stay out of labour disputes.
If you support the gov't ordering postal workers back to work, you do not support workers rights, full stop.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

Seems like Xodus has begun as more and more people seem to be joining Bluesky.

If people really want to send a message to Musk, they should choose a day where everyone starts closing their account.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
