Iceland has designated the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) a national security concern and an existential threat.
Yet still fossil fuel usage continues to grow, and they barely agreed to *name* the problem at #COP30.

Today, the president of the United States said that multiple US senators should be put to death for treason and articles of impeachment have not been filed yet. This country is cooked. Done. Finished.

There’s a narrative that resistance to Trump’s second term is weaker than the first. Data indicates the opposite.
There have actually been over 3x more protests in Trump’s second term than the first, and No Kings 2 was the largest single-day political protest in US history.

I somehow missed this incredible story last month. Apparently the cops who killed Tyre Nichols will get a new federal trial.
Why? Because someone shot a clerk for the judge who presided over the original trial, and the judge believes the shooter is in a gang that's connected to one of the cops.
