Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

If CO2 emissions go to zero in 2050 (top), the sinks (green) will bring atmospheric CO2 back down (middle), & temperature will stabalise at ~1.7°C (bottom).
Going to zero today will keep us <1.5°C
Constant emissions leads to 2.6°C, rising rapidly thereafter.

I just read this fantastic article by @hausfath.bsky.social , which lays out a roadmap for how to think responsibly about carbon sequestration. Written in 2022, but still spot-on relevant: www.technologyreview.com/2022/07/05/1...
We need to draw down carbon—not just stop emitting it
Carbon removal is no substitute for reducing climate pollution. But it is now a necessary tool to keep temperatures in check.

We usually assess the climate crisis by a single metric: greenhouse gas emissions. But that’s just one metric, and it’s not enough. Assuming that humans control a “global thermostat,” says @noahjgordon.bsky.social, is dangerous.

The cessation and mass removal of emissions would not simply turn back the clock.

No data, no hunger.
Cuts to SNAP and a refusal to fund it during the shutdown, plus the increased cost of food because of his tariffs, means Americans will starve.
We’ll never truly know how bad it gets, because Trump cancelled the report on hunger because he knows it will make him look bad.

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

🧵Guarantee it's the Epstein money trail that's spooking Trump more than the child rape.
As soon as Trump took office, he immediately blocked the 4-year congressional investigation into Epstein's assets.
He also immediately revoked access to all sensitive docs.
