Senators keep popping up on social media complaining ab things. I saw Judiciary Dems put out a Stew Peters clip suggesting Kash Patel perjured himself.

Senators could be strategizing ab how to put up a fight on unqualified nominees. On what their legal options are. On how to exert independence.
Trump's been purging and intimidating USAID employees.

Now there’s a rumor he'll dissolve USAID as an independent agency.

It was created by JFK and established in law to further our national security and spread hope.

This'd be illegal and against our national interests.

And for the details on when and how American Christianity became so political, I recommend starting with “The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind” then checking out the Kingdom, the Power & the Glory, Wild Faith by @swordsjew.bsky.social, Jesus & John Wayne by @kkdumez.bsky.social and more.

… because 99% of the time, religious-y sounding objections are just a smokescreen for ideologically-motivated solution aversion.

Did you know that Christians who take the actual Bible seriously are often on the front lines of climate action?

I know this may be a surprising & jarring claim in the US, where “evangelical” has become synonymous with opinions + positions completely at odds w/ Christian theology.

Here’s why:

He is also very good at explaining things, has multiple EV charging ports rigged up, and was well known for monitoring our energy use and swapping out all our bulbs for CFLs as early as the 80s!

I have a net zero dad 😄

Even through we have a carbon tax in Canada, he calculates his own tax based on the latest social cost of carbon and donates it to a climate NGO every year.

And for years, I didn’t even know he did this! I only found out when he mentioned it as a casual aside.
I have made the definitive* typology of Dads.

I måndags såg jag Shoah från början till slut, och lyssnade på Timothy Snyder som föreläste mitt i.

Media framing of events is a choice. Trump frames event in way that I think most reporters understand is nonsense.
Don't have to repeat it.

There is a real story about what happens to state capacity over the next 4 years that is better told through specific events like this rather than in abstract.

🆕 research shows that when 10-43% of a population adopts new norms, #SocialTipping can occur, with a tipping point around 25%. Focusing on community clusters, adapting strategies, and targeting moderate influencers can drive a shift toward net-zero emissions.

On climate, did you know that only 11% of people in the US (and even smaller percentages in Canada, the UK, Australia and beyond) are dismissive?

Yet because their voices are so loud and persistent, people often think they’re 50%.

This is why I advocate so strongly for using YOUR voice!

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.
