When climate deniers argue that atmospheric CO₂ was higher in the past, it's idiotic. Humans evolved to live in the current climate, and we built our society and infrastructure accordingly. The atmosphere didn't have oxygen billions of years ago, and we certainly don't want to return to that.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

It’s been a day. So here’s a chance to do a little good. This is Clem. He’s a patient at my old vet in Austin. They think he got hit by a car. My vet spent hours stabilizing him. If you have a few bucks to add to his GFM, that would be amazing. He’s got an amazing vet team on his side

More funding for the NHS is always welcome. But this doesn't look like enough. And slashing local services which keep us healthy is a classic example of only treating symptoms, not the cause.

Our challenge is how to boost the entire bottom 90% at the expense of the 1%. Universal basic income + taxing wealth meets this challenge. A higher minimum wage - although needed - does not. Taxing the middle class less does not. More welfare does not. We need to issue a dividend as a raised floor.
