I wonder if the millions of Dems who opted not to vote realize that they enabled this insane fakakta Congress that is about to strip life saving care from tens of millions of Americans? Probably nah….why would they care about that…. Unless….they turn out to be one of those Americans.🤔

What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.

Real profiles in courage here. Donald Trump's administration is waging war, on numerous fronts, against America's core values of individual liberty, private enterprise, and openness.

A must-read thread. CO2 is unlike other pollutants in that its effects cumulate. Once emitted, it stays in the atmosphere for centuries, so we need to get emissions to zero asap to stabilize the climate.

How’s that trickle down working for you, it never has & never will! All Americans should be insisting that the wealthy & corporations pay their fair share in taxes, not cut benefits & services to pay for more tax cuts. The definition of insanity…

Senator Hawley, Senator Schmitt, Representative Alford--isn't the separation of powers key to our democracy? (I mean, I know that you only believe that's true if the executive is of a different party--you have abandoned your constitutional duties in grand form lately).

So if Trump is meeting with these people who bribed him the most with his cryptocurrency in his "personal" capacity, then it can't be an "official act" and thereby shielded from prosecution with SCOTUS immunity if taking enormous bribes turns out to be a crime, right?

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas.

Among the countless fucked-up things in the “Big Beautiful Bill,” it bans Medicaid and CHIP from covering any gender-affirming care — hormones, surgeries, puberty blockers, everything. It erases trans people from healthcare and enshrines hateful, state-backed violence.

Lincoln Hospital is the only hospital for a 165-mile stretch. Rural hospitals don’t serve a lot of people. But they’re lifelines in communities that grow your food. Food isn’t optional. Neither is keeping these hospitals open. And they depend on Medicare and Medicaid to survive. (1/3)

This is about UK universities but the parallels to US universities are very clear. And in the US, our Land Grant university model breaks the ivory tower barriers down even more, through Cooperative Extension (funded by USDA) and USGS climate science centers.
