Wot? This:

A data broker owned by the major airlines, including Delta, American, and United, collected travelers’ flight records, sold access to them to Customs and Border Protection, and in the contract told CBP not to reveal where the data came from. From @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/airlin...

“Donald Trump has manufactured a crisis and is inflaming conditions.” - @gavinnewsom.bsky.social Trump Playbook 1. Intentionally create a crisis 2. Blame Dems, Biden & Obama 3. Abuses his power to claim VICTORY This *strategy* wastes tax-payers money & inflicts emotional terrorism on us all.

For good reason @michaelemann.bsky.social called this years ago "the new climate WAR". It is a war and people are suffering and dying - not just metaphorically.

Every Democratic elected official at every level of government should be doing solidarity press conferences backing up Governor Newsom and the state of California in this fight. We have to communicate clearly to all voters about what is happening here for it is coming to every state soon.

While the media is no longer guilty of “climate silence,” writes @coveringclimatenow.org co-founder Mark Hertsgaard, “climate change barely surfaces in most news coverage.”

One of my favourite papers of past decade because the pseudoscience & climate denier nonsense from pretend polar bear scientists pretty much vanished. The main misinformation website was mothballed as media lost interest in fake science. academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

When the Trump administration froze this Nobel Prize–winning neuroscientist's research funding, he received an email from China offering to relocate his lab to any city and university of his choice, with guaranteed funding for 20 years. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

Q: What crimes has Gavin Newsom committed? TRUMP: I think his primary crime is running for governor, because he's done such a bad job

Three things about this comment: 1. Homan is a White House adviser who doesn't have the power to arrest anyone. Neither does Trump. 2. Trump once again acts like he's not in charge. "If I were Tom, I'd do it." Uh, doesn't he work for you? 3. THREATENING TO ARREST A GOVERNOR IS A FIVE ALARM FIRE

We’ve never had a president who so wanted chaos—who treated division as tools. A real leader brings calm and unity. Trump fans the flames. He wants the fight. We need peaceful protest and the strength to be the unity he fears.

Just to be clear: peaceful protest is as American as it gets. But when insurrectionists were beating cops in his name, Trump never deployed the National Guard. That tells you everything.

"Single biggest way to have impact on #ClimateChange is through collective pressure on policy makers to act in our interest rather than special interest" @michaelemann.bsky.social Today is a good day to consider supporting folks working on #ClimateChange right here in Calgary Alberta #yyc #abpoli

In LA, officers deployed tear gas and shot rubber bullets at protesters fighting against ICE raids. Here’s a reminder that those anti-protest weapons—which are billed as relatively safe—can actually cause serious harm.

In Manhattan, ICE officers were forced to flee inside 26 Federal Plaza

I wrote a new thing about the conspiracy theory that helped kill the CREID network, and will kill other people as a result. open.substack.com/pub/rasmusse...

"It's Summer in Trump's America and Fascism is in Bloom" is my latest. The decision to send in the national guard in LA is not an isolated move but part of an orchestrated series of moves to impose the president's will on the the country. www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...
