Born when atmospheric CO2 was 315 ppm. It’s now about 427 ppm, an increase of 35.5% and an increase of 52.5% over the pre-industrial levels around 280 ppm.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Michael Mann To Bill Gates: What World Are You Living In? - CleanTechnica
Mann offers a roadmap against an "ecocidal agenda" driven by plutocrats, polluters, petrostates, propagandists, and much of the press.

30 years ago today.

Thanks to Dr. Ben Santer for this powerful and timely reflection.

“Scorched Earth” is exactly what the fossil fuel industry and its lobbyists have done, literally and figuratively.

Listen up fascists: a “pause” isn’t permanent. Making a stop “permanent” isn’t a “pause.” Trump is incoherent and full of fascist bullshit

"Conservative groups, funded by fossil fuel magnates, spend $1B/yr interfering with public understanding of what is happening to our world. Few investments rival the return they've gotten from evangelicals."

An oldie but goodie makes the link between fossil fuels, climate denial, and U.S. religion.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation.

But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire.

He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify.

If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

Trump and his cronies have spread desperate lies about No Kings Day — calling peaceful participants "terrorists" and "criminals."

You know why? Because they want us to shut up and go away. That's how kings and dictators win. But we won't let them.

See you tomorrow. NO KINGS.
Forget Trump's lies. This is what No Kings Day is actually about.
